Matthew 10:19–22
In that very hour he promised to give the grace of debate, so that the Spirit’s gift might be shown. If he had given it before the time of trial, the matter would have been thought a thing of human nature and skill. They were not going to be hated by absolutely everyone, but by many — especially at that time. So from the greater part he said “by all,” since those who received the word loved them.
Greek
Οὐ τὴν πίστιν τοῦ παραλε λυμένου ὁ κύριος ἐθεάσατο, ἀλλὰ τῶν κομισάντων· ἔστι γὰρ ὅτε καὶ ἄλλος δι' ἄλλων πίστιν θεραπεύεται καὶ πλήρης τούτων ἡ ἱερὰ τῶν εὐαγγελίων γραφή. θεασάμενος οὖν τὴν πίστιν αὐτῶν οὐ μάταιον αὐτῶν ἀποφαίνει τὸν πόνον, ἀλλά φησιν τέκνον τὸ τέκνον ἢ καὶ αὐτῷ ὡς πιστεύσαντι ἢ κατὰ τὸν τῆς δημιουργίας λόγον. Τέκνον ἐκάλεσε τὸν παρα λυτικὸν τῷ τῆς δημιουργίας λόγῳ ἢ ὡς πιστεύσαντα εἰς αὐτὸν καὶ γνόντα αὐτὸν κύριον καὶ δημιουρ γόν.
