Luke 14:10-11 [Latin]

¹⁰ But when thou art invited, go, sit down in the lowest place; that when he who invited thee, cometh, he may say to thee: Friend, go up higher. Then shalt thou have glory before them that sit at table with thee.

¹¹ Because every one that exalteth himself, shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted.

Cum invitaus fueris ab aliquo, vade et accumbe in novissimo loco ut cum venerit qui te invitavit dicat tibi, amice, ascende superius. Tunc erit tibi gloria coram omnibus discumbentibus, omnis enim qui se extolletur.

Matthew 8:25-27 [German]

²⁵ And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.

²⁶ And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

²⁷ But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

Da traten die Jünger zu Jesu und wecketen ihn auff und sprachen: “Herr, hilf uns wir verderben.” Da Sagt er zu ihnen: “O ihr kleingleubigen, warumb seyd ihr so furchtsam?” und Stund auff, und betrawete den Wind und das Meer da ward es ganz stille. Die Menschen aber verwunderten sich und sprachen: “Was ist das für ein Mann, daß ihm Wind und Meer gehorsam ist?”
