- The shepherd is struck; the flock scatters
Jesus quotes the struck-shepherd saying before the disciples' flight. - The Slavonic Philokalia is published
A Slavonic collection associated with Paisius's translation work brings patristic teaching on prayer to new readers. - The Son and the Father's glory
The Son reveals God's glory and receives angelic worship. - The Son and Word of God
The Son is eternally begotten of the Father, shares the Father's one divine nature, and became human as Jesus Christ for our salvation. - The Son himself will be subject
The Son reigns until every enemy is defeated, then is himself subject to the one who subjected all things to him. The Father is explicitly excepted from what is placed under the Son. - The Spirit guides, convicts, and glorifies Christ
The Spirit comes, convicts, guides, hears, speaks, and declares. The same passage says he does not speak from himself and takes what belongs to Christ. - The Spirit in the baptismal name
All three are named in one baptismal commission. The wording says ‘name’ in the singular, but does not supply a later technical definition of the Trinity. - The Spirit intercedes according to God
Intercession and a mind are attributed to the Spirit, and the heart-searcher is differentiated from the Spirit whose intention he knows. - The Spirit knows the deep things of God
The Spirit’s knowing in verses 10–12 is direct wording; the explicit Isaiah quotation occurs in verse 16 and leads to the claim that believers have Christ’s mind. - The Spirit says: hear God’s voice today
The attribution is explicit and present tense: Scripture’s warning is the Spirit’s speech to the hearers of Hebrews. - The Spirit witnesses to God’s new covenant
The quotation explicitly introduces the Holy Spirit, then retains the Lord’s first-person promises of inward law and forgiven sins. - The sufferer's lament and divided garments
The passion cites the sufferer's lament and divided garments; Hebrews also applies the psalm's later praise to Christ and his brothers and sisters. - The suffering servant: rejection, death, and vindication
John identifies unbelief with Isaiah's report, Jesus applies the servant's being counted with transgressors to his passion, and later writers explain his saving suffering. - The Temple burns during the Roman assault
Roman troops reach the Temple precinct and the sanctuary burns. Josephus's extended account preserves the sequence of fighting while portraying Titus as trying to prevent the final destruction. - The temple cannot shelter wrongdoing
Jesus recalls Jeremiah's challenge to false confidence in the temple. - The threatened imperial statue in the Temple
Caligula orders his image installed in Jerusalem's Temple. Josephus describes petitions, Petronius's hesitation, and Agrippa's intervention; the installation is not completed. - The throne and the Lamb receive one doxology
The Lamb is distinguished from the one seated on the throne but receives the same universal doxology from every created thing. Earlier the elders fall before the Lamb. - The Thursday Document That Was Never Written
Bukhari 114 says Muhammad asked for writing material to leave a statement after which the community would not go astray. Umar replied that the Qur'an was sufficient; disagreement and noise followed; Ibn Abbas called… - The tree, the curse, and redemption
Paul applies the law concerning an exposed body on a tree to Christ's death and his redemption of others from the law's curse. - The Trinity
Catholics worship one God in three distinct Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Persons share one divine nature, so the Son and Spirit are neither creatures nor lesser gods. Catholic teaching receives the… - The Trinity
Classical Protestant churches confess the one God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, receiving the ancient Nicene faith. The three Persons are distinct and equally divine. Many Western Protestant confessions include… - The Twelve and apostolic witness
Jesus chooses the Twelve; Acts presents them as witnesses to his resurrection. Their foundational witness is not simply identical to the later office of bishop. - The Twelve Apostles
The Synoptic Gospels name twelve disciples whom Jesus appoints and sends. Acts names the remaining eleven and records Matthias being chosen to take Judas Iscariot's place. - The Twelve Rulers: Name Them
Muslim and Abu Dawud report that the religion or caliphate would remain strong through twelve Qurayshi rulers. Sunni commentators have proposed sharply different lists: selected righteous rulers, an Umayyad sequence,… - The Verification and Authority Dilemma
Both debates press Qur'an 10:94: if the Prophet were in doubt about what had been revealed, he is told to ask those who read the Scripture before him. A careful Christian argument does not need to claim that Muhammad… - The victorious ascent and gifts for the Church
Ephesians applies the psalm's victorious ascent to Christ and connects it with gifts that build up his people. - The vineyard and the rejected beloved son
Jesus' vineyard parable reuses Isaiah's vineyard imagery to confront leaders who reject the owner's messengers and son. - The visitors at Mamre
Abraham receives three visitors; the LORD promises a son and hears an intercession. - The voice that stops the sacrifice
The angel of the LORD restrains Abraham and renews the covenant promise. - The water of life and the fiery stream
Revelation 22:1–5: a river from the throne of God and the Lamb, with the tree of life and divine light. Daniel 7:9–10: a fiery stream before the Ancient of Days, with the court seated and books opened. Interpretive… - The Word became flesh
The Word truly becomes human; the risen Jesus offers his wounds to Thomas. - The Word was God
John both distinguishes the Word from God by saying with God and predicates God of the Word. Verse 14 links this Word to the incarnate life; verse 17 names Jesus Christ. - The Xi'an stele records Syriac Christianity in Tang China
A Chinese and Syriac monument records a Christian presence in Tang China and recalls earlier missionaries and imperial patronage. It offers a material witness to the eastward reach of Syriac Christianity. - Theodore and Hadrian develop learning at Canterbury
Bede describes Theodore and Hadrian teaching Scripture and other subjects to pupils in England. Greek and Latin learning accompany efforts to organize church life. - Theodore the Studite
Abbot of the Studion monastery who defended the veneration of icons during the renewed iconoclast campaign and shaped Byzantine monastic discipline. - Theodore the Studite resists renewed iconoclasm

Distinguishes a natural image from an artificial image and explains the latter's relation to its prototype. - Theophilus answers questions about seeing and knowing God

An icon of the Theotokos with Christ often fills the apse above the sanctuary. This arrangement proclaims that the Son of God truly became human. - Theudas and a difficult chronological comparison
Josephus describes Theudas gathering followers near the Jordan and promising a miraculous crossing. Fadus sends cavalry and the movement is violently suppressed.
