Matthew 17:1
He goes up onto the mountain to show that a lowly mind would not become fit for contemplation, but the one who has become his own, outside life’s cares, in quiet.
Greek
Γραμματεύς ἐστιν ὁ διὰ τῆς ἐπιμόνου ἀναγνώσεως τῶν γραφῶν τῆς τε παλαιᾶς καὶ τῆς νέας θησαυρὸν γνώσεως ἑαυτῷ ἀποθέμενος. διὸ μακαρίζει τοὺς συνενεγκόντας ἐν ἑαυτοῖς νομικὴν παιδείαν καὶ εὐαγγελικήν, ὥστε ἐκβάλλειν ἐκ τοῦ θησαυροῦ νέα καὶ παλαιά. τούτους καὶ γραμματεῖ ὁμοιοῖ καθὼς καὶ ἀλλαχοῦ φησιν· "ἀποστέλλω" ὑμῖν "σοφοὺς καὶ γραμματεῖς". εἶδες πῶς οὐκ ἐκβάλλει τὴν παλαιάν–δι' ὧν καλλωπίζεται ἡ ψυχή.
