της Διονυσίας Μίσιου

Οι στασιώτες λήστευαν, μας λέει ο Προκόπιος, τους πλούσιους, δηλ. αποσπούσαν ό,τι πολύτιμο αυτοί έφεραν επάνω τους, κοσμήματα, χρυσές ζώνες και περόνες και πολυτελή ρούχα, έτσι που αυτοί στο εξής κυκλοφορούσαν χωρίς κοσμήματα και φορούσαν ζώνες και περόνες και ρούχα από ευτελέστερο υλικό πολλω ελασσόνως ή κατά την άξίαν ως

The position of the Church has always been, however, that we need help and guidance if we’re to understand Scripture in depth. Thus, as early as the Apostolic age (Acts 8, 30-31), Philip encounters an Ethiopian reading the Book of Isaiah. ‘Do you understand what you’re reading?’ He replied, ‘How can I, unless someone guides me?’ This is a strange answer because the man can obviously read and the words are simple enough, a lamb being led to slaughter, but it’s only when Philip explains the deeper meaning of the prophecy that the man can understand.
