- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Cui enim non præsto sunt hæc, cæcus est, et manu tentans, oblivionem accipiens purgationis veterum suorum delictorum.
- Greek New Testament (SBLGNT)
- ᾧ γὰρ μὴ πάρεστιν ταῦτα, τυφλός ἐστιν μυωπάζων, λήθην λαβὼν τοῦ καθαρισμοῦ τῶν πάλαι αὐτοῦ ἁμαρτημάτων.
Haydock's commentary
Groping,2 like one that is blind. The Greek may signify one who hath his eyes shut, or that is like a blind mole. (Witham)
2 Manu tentans, muopazon.
