St. Cyril of Alexandria

1. 0. Greeting

1 [[Luke 7.40]] Jesus answered and said to him, Simon, I have something to say unto you. And 2 he said to him, Say on, my Master. [[Luke 7.41]] Jesus said to him, There were two debtors [Arabic, p. 58] to one creditor; and one of them owed five hundred pence, and the other 3 owed fifty pence. [[Luke 7.42]] And because they had not wherewith to pay, he forgave 4 them both. Which of them ought to love him more? [[Luke 7.43]] Simon answered and said, I suppose, he to whom he forgave most. Jesus said to him, You have judged rightly. 5 [[Luke 7.44]] And he turned to that woman, and said to Simon, Do you see this woman? I entered into your dwelling, and you gave me not water to wash my feet: but this 6 woman has bathed my feet with her tears, and dried them with her hair. [[Luke 7.45]] And you kissed me not: but this woman, since she entered, has not ceased to kiss my 7 feet. [[Luke 7.46]] And you anointed not my head with oil: but this woman has anointed 8 my feet with sweet ointment. [[Luke 7.47]] And for this, I say unto you, Her many sins are forgiven her, because she loved much; for he to whom little is forgiven loves little. 9, 10 [[Luke 7.48]] And he said to that woman, Your sins are forgiven you. [[Luke 7.49]] And those that were invited 11 began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgives sins also? [[Luke 7.50]] And Jesus said to that woman, Your faith has saved you; go in peace.

12 [[John 2.23]] b And many believed in him when they saw the signs which he was doing. 13, 14 [[John 2.24]] But Jesus did not trust himself to them, [[John 2.25]] for he knew every man, and he needed not any man to testify to him concerning every man; for he knew what was in man.

15 [[Luke 10.1]] And after that, Jesus set apart from his disciples other seventy, and sent them two and two before his face to every region and city whither he was purposing to 16 go. [[Luke 10.2]] And he said to them, The harvest is abundant, and the labourers are few: 17 entreat now the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth labourers into his harvest. [[Luke 10.3]] Go 18 [Arabic, p. 59] ye: and lo, I am sending you as lambs among wolves. [[Luke 10.4]] Take not with you 19 purses, nor a wallet, nor shoes; neither salute any man in the way. [[Luke 10.5]] And 20 whatsoever house ye enter, first salute that house: [[Luke 10.6]] and if there be there a son of peace, 21 let your peace rest upon him; but if there be not, your peace shall return to you. [[Luke 10.7]] And be ye in that house eating and drinking what they have: for the labourer is worthy of 22 his hire. [[Luke 10.8]] And remove not from house to house. And into whatsoever city ye enter, 23 and they receive you, eat what is presented to you: [[Luke 10.9]] and heal the sick that are 24 therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God has come near unto you. [[Luke 10.10]] But whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go out into the market, and say, 25 [[Luke 10.11]] Even the dust that clave to our feet from your
