Matthew 10:27
About the apostles’ boldness in preaching, marvelous Habakkuk also foretold: “They will open their bridles like a poor man eating in secret” (Matthew 10:27) — that is, the apostles who at first scarcely spoke to a few, and in secret, fed by the faith of believers, later broke the bridle of fear set on them and will fill the world under heaven with their own voice. For now — since — what does he say?
Greek
Περὶ τῆς ἐν τῷ κηρύσσειν παρρησίας τῶν ἀποστόλων καὶ ὁ θαυ μάσιος Ἀμβακοὺμ προηγόρευσε· "διανοίξουσι" γάρ, φησίν, "χαλινοὺς αὐτῶν ὡς" ὁ "ἔσθων πτωχὸς λάθρα", τοῦτ' ἔστιν οἱ πρότερον μόλις τισὶ καὶ λάθρα προσλαλοῦντες ἀπόστολοι καὶ τῇ τῶν πιστευόντων πίστει τρεφόμενοι οὗτοι μετὰ ταῦτα διαρρήξαντες τὸν ἐπιτεθέντα αὐτοῖς τοῦ φόβου χαλινὸν τῆς ἑαυτῶν φωνῆς κατεμπλήσουσι τὴν ὑπ' οὐρανόν. τέως δὲ ἐπειδή–τί γάρ φησιν.
