Greek text · Lake, LCL 24:54

Μέγα καὶ θαυμαστὸν οὖν νομίζομεν εἶναι, εἰ ὁ δημιουργὸς τῶν ἁπάντων ἀνάστασιν ποιήσεται τῶν ὁσίως αὐτῷ δουλευσάντων ἐν πεποιθήσει πίστεως ἀγαθῆς, ὅπου καὶ διʼ ὀρνέου δείκνυσιν ἡμῖν τὸ μεγαλεῖον τῆς ἐπαγγελίας αὐτοῦ;

English · Claude translation

Do we then think it a great and marvelous thing that the Creator of all things will raise up those who have served him in holiness in the confidence of a good faith, when he shows us the greatness of his promise even through a bird?
