The Diatessaron of Tatian — Section 13

St. Cyril of Alexandria

1. 0. Greeting

1 [[Matthew 10.16]] I am sending you as lambs among wolves: be ye now wise as serpents, and 2 harmless as doves. [[Matthew 10.17]] Beware of men: they shall deliver you to the councils of the 3 magistrates, and scourge you in their synagogues; [[Matthew 10.18]] and shall bring you before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and against the nations. 4 [[Matthew 10.19]] And when they deliver you up, be not anxious, nor consider beforehand, what ye 5 shall say; but you shall be given in that hour what ye ought to speak. [[Matthew 10.20]] You do not 6 speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaks in you. [[Matthew 10.21]] The brother shall deliver up his brother to death, and the father his son; and the sons shall rise against their 7 parents, and put them to death. [[Matthew 10.22]] And you shall be hated of every man because of 8 my name; but he that endures unto the end of the matter shall be saved. [[Matthew 10.23]] When they expel you from this city, flee to another. Verily I say unto you, You shall not finish all the cities of the people of Israel, until the Son of man come.

9, 10 [[Matthew 10.24]] A disciple is not superior to his lord, nor a servant to his master. [[Matthew 10.25]] For it is enough then for the disciple that he be as his lord, and the servant as his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more the people 11 of his house! [[Matthew 10.26]] Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall 12 [Arabic, p. 51] not be revealed; nor hid, that shall not be disclosed and published. What I say unto you in the darkness, speak ye in the light; and what you have told 13 secretly in the ears in closets, let it be proclaimed on the housetops. I say unto you now, my beloved, Be not agitated at those who kill the body, but have no power to 14 kill the soul. I will inform you whom you shall fear: him which is able to destroy 15 soul and body in hell. Yea, I say unto you, Be afraid of him especially. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing in a bond? and one of them shall not fall on the 16 ground without your Father. [[Matthew 10.30]] But what concerns you: even the hair of your heads 17, 18 also is numbered. [[Matthew 10.31]] Fear not therefore; you are better than many sparrows. [[Matthew 10.32]] Every man who confesses me now before men, I also will confess him before my Father 19 which is in heaven; [[Matthew 10.33]] but whosoever denies me before men, I also will deny him before my Father which is in heaven.

20 [[Luke 12.51]] Think ye that I have come to cast peace into the earth? I came not to cast peace, 21 but to cast dissension. [[Luke 12.52]] Henceforth there shall be five in one house, three of them 22 disagreeing with two, and the two with the three. [[Luke 12.53]] The father shall become hostile to his son, and the son to his father; and the mother to her daughter, and the daughter to her mother; and the mother in law to her daughter in law, and the daughte
