Cyril of Alexandria: Fragments on Matthew · §160

Matthew 15:13–14

Every planting that is not from God — everything outside God — will also be uprooted. The one conformed to that planting is blind.

Greek

Ἐπειδὴ τὰ γεγονότα σημεῖα, φασίν, δαιμόνων ἦσαν, ἅπερ ἐπὶ μόνης τῆς γῆς ποιεῖ τὰς φαντασίας, ποίησον καὶ σὺ ἀπὸ τῆς σῆς δυνάμεως σημεῖον ἐξ οὐρανοῦ· ἕτερος γὰρ εὐαγγελιστὴς σαφῶς εἶπεν, ὅτι "ἐξ οὐρανοῦ" ᾔτουν αὐτὸν σημεῖον ποιῆσαι, ὅπερ τῇ θείᾳ δυνάμει ἔπρεπεν 17 ποιῆσαι. τοῦτο δὲ ἔλεγον ὡς μὴ δυναμένου αὐτοῦ ποιῆσαί τι τῶν θεοπρεπῶν τυφλώττοντες τῇ διανοίᾳ· τὸ γὰρ ἀνοῖξαι ὀφθαλμοὺς τυφλῶν καὶ νε κροὺς ἐγεῖραι καὶ θαλάσσῃ καὶ ἀνέμοις ἐπιτιμᾶν μόνης ἐξουσίας θεο πρεποῦς.
