Matthew 10:27
About the apostles’ boldness in preaching, marvelous Habakkuk also foretold: “They will open their bridles like a poor man eating in secret” — that is, the apostles who at first scarcely spoke to a few, and in secret, fed by the faith of believers, later broke the bridle of fear set on them and will fill the world under heaven with their own voice. For now — since — what does he say?
Greek
–22 Τῆς αἱμορροούσης αἰσθόμενος ὁ Χριστὸς οὐκ ἀπηξίωσεν αὐτήν, ἀλλ' ἐθεράπευσε καὶ θυγατέρα ἐκάλεσεν ὡς πιστήν, ἅμα δὲ καὶ δει κνύων, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστι παρὰ τῷ θεῷ ἀκάθαρτος ὁ ἔχων νόσον ἀκούσιον.
