Matthew 17:17
The unbeliever will somehow also be distorted and know no way to walk straight. Christ does not deem such people worthy of his company; if one may say something human, he grows weary and is distressed. Yet this is not aimed at this person’s face — and one must not think what is unfitting about them.
Greek
Εἰπὼν θαρσεῖτε τὴν πίστιν ἀπαιτεῖ, δι' ἧς ἕκαστος τῶν εἰλικρινῶς εἰς Χριστὸν πιστευόντων σῴζεται· ἐπαγαγὼν δὲ ἐγώ εἰμι λύει πάντα φόβον· ἐγὼ γάρ, φησίν, εἰμὶ ὁ πάντα δυνάμενος ποιῆσαι.
