Matthew 17:17
The unbeliever will somehow also be distorted and know no way to walk straight. Christ does not deem such people worthy of his company; if one may say something human, he grows weary and is distressed. Yet this is not aimed at this person’s face — and one must not think what is unfitting about them (Matthew 17:17).
Greek
Ὁ ἄπιστος ἔσται που καὶ διεστραμμένος καὶ κατ' οὐδένα τρόπον ὀρθοποδεῖν εἰδώς. τοῖς δὲ τοιούτοις οὐκ ἀξιοῖ συνεῖναι Χριστός, ἀλλ' εἰ χρή τι τῶν ἀνθρωπίνων εἰπεῖν, ὀλιγωρεῖ καὶ ἀκηδιᾷ. πλὴν οὐκ εἰς τὸ τούτου πρόσωπον–καὶ τὰ μὴ προσήκοντα ἐννοῆσαι περὶ αὐτῶν.
