Matthew 22:7
Clearly the irresistible hand of the Roman army. We call the Roman campaign God’s, inasmuch as he is Master and Creator of all.
Greek
Κάμηλον δὲ ἐνταῦθά φησιν οὐ τὸ ζῷον τὸ ἀχθοφόρον, ἀλλὰ τὸ παχὺ σχοινίον, ἐν ᾧ δεσμεύουσι τὰς ἀγκύρας οἱ ναῦται. οὐκ ἀνήνυτον παντελῶς τοῦτο δείκνυσιν ὄν, τῷ δὲ ἄγαν δυσχερεῖ λοιπὸν ἤδη πως ἐγγὺς καὶ ἀγχίθυρον τοῦ ἀδυνάτου τὸ χρῆμα τιθείς. ὅθεν δείκνυται οὐχ ὁ τυχών–δεῖ τῆς χάριτος τῷ μέλλοντι τοῦτο κατορθοῦν.
