So he calls them blessed as ones who have heard the Son’s voice and been counted worthy of his sight — through whom and in whom they were seeing the Father and God’s nature intelligibly — the very things the saints of old were counted worthy of, and in which they had the fullest joy in goods (Matthew 13:16).

Greek

Μακαρίζει τοίνυν αὐτοὺς ὡς ἀκηκοότας τῆς τοῦ υἱοῦ φωνῆς καὶ ἀξιωθέντας τῆς αὐτοῦ θέας, δι' οὗ καὶ ἐν ᾧ τὴν τοῦ πατρὸς καὶ θεοῦ ἑώρων φύσιν νοητῶς, ὧν ἠξιώθησαν οἱ πάλαι ἅγιοι καὶ πληρεστάτην ἔσχον τὴν ἐπ' ἀγαθοῖς θυμηδίαν.
