Matthew 22:15
For they saw that those around Theudas and Judas — through these words to cast into such suspicion.
Greek
Ἵνα μή τις οἰηθῇ ἐπὶ μόνων τῶν μαθητῶν ἁρμόζειν τὸ εἰρη μένον, ἐπεπλάτυνεν ἐπὶ πάντας τὸν λόγον τοὺς τὰ ὅμοια ποιοῦντας· εἰ γὰρ καὶ μὴ τῶν αὐτῶν τοῖς μαθη ταῖς τεύξονται οἱ λοιποί, ἀλλ' οὖν ἕξουσιν ἀντὶ μὲν τῶν κατὰ σάρκα συγγενῶν τὴν πρὸς θεὸν οἰκειότητα καὶ τὴν ἀδελφότητα τὴν πρὸς τοὺς ἁγίους (ἤτοι τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους καὶ πρεσβύτιδας τῆς ἐκκλησίας λέγει, οὓς ἔσχον δι' ἀγάπην ὡς συγγενεῖς, τοὺς κατὰ διάθεσιν ἀγαπητούς, τοὺς πολλῷ μᾶλλον τῶν κατὰ σάρκα συγ γενῶν ἀγαπῶντας, παρ' ὧν καὶ χρή ματα ἐδέξαντο, ἵνα διοικήσωσιν αὐτὰ ὡς βούλονται, ἀποκειμένων αὐτοῖς καὶ τῶν ἐσομένων ἀγαθῶν), ἀντὶ δὲ τῶν ἀγρῶν τὸν παράδεισον καὶ ἀντὶ οἴκων τῶν ἐκ λίθων τὴν ἄνω Ἰερουσαλήμ, τὴν τῶν πρωτο τόκων μητέρα. Ἐπισημαντέον, ὅτι κἂν μὴ τῶν αὐτῶν τοῖς μαθηταῖς οἱ λοιποὶ ἐπι τύχωσιν, ἀλλ' ὅμως ἕξουσιν ἀντὶ μὲν τῶν κατὰ σάρκα συγγενῶν πρὸς θεὸν οἰκειότητα καὶ τὴν ἀδελφό τητα τὴν πρὸς ἁγίαν πόλιν τὴν τῶν πρωτοτόκων μητέρα.
