ℹ️ This corpus has no verse-level morphological tagging. Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).
5-8:8
Μεθόδιος ὁ Σίδης εἰς τὸν Χριστὸν ἐκλαμβάνει, καὶ φησίν· Αὐτοῦ ἄκουε λέγοντος· ἐγὼ δέ εἰμι σκώληξ καὶ οὐκ ἄνθρωπος. σκώληκα οὖν λέγει, οὐ διὰ κακίαν, ἀλλὰ διὰ τὴν ταπεινοφροσύνην ἢ καὶ ὅτι φησὶν ὁ σκώληξ οὐκ ἐκ συνδυασμοῦ γίνεται, ἀλλ ἐκ παρακειμένης ὕλης
Methodius of Side understands this of Christ, and says: Hear him as he speaks: 'But I am a worm and no man.' He calls himself a worm, not on account of any baseness, but because of his humility; or also because, as he says, the worm does not come to be from any sexual union, but arises from the matter that lies at hand.
西得的梅鐸丟將這話解作論到基督,他說:你聽他如此說:「但我是蟲,不是人。」他稱自己為蟲,並非因為有甚麼卑劣,而是因為他的謙卑;又或是因為,如他所說,蟲不是由交合而生,乃是從旁邊現成的質料而出。
