Matthew 17:22–23
Mixing in the word about the resurrection, he weaves power together with weakness, glory with ingloriousness, the height of divinity with the cheapness of humanity. For he died as man and lived again as God. The disciples are grieved from love toward Christ, even though the resurrection was announced to come soon — because humans grieve more hotly when they hear grievous things and feel those more than the sweetest (Matthew 17:22–23).

Συναναμίξας τὸν περὶ τῆς ἀναστάσεως λόγον συναναπλέκει τῇ ἀσθενείᾳ τὴν δύναμιν, τῇ ἀδοξίᾳ τὴν δόξαν, τῇ εὐτελείᾳ τῆς ἀνθρω πότητος τὸ τῆς θεότητος ὑψηλόν· ἀπέθανε γὰρ ὡς ἄνθρωπος, ἀνεβίω ὡς θεός. λυποῦνται δὲ οἱ μαθηταὶ διὰ τὴν πρὸς τὸν Χριστὸν ἀγάπην καίτοι γε προαναγγελθείσης τῆς ἀναστάσεως μετ' οὐ πολύ, ἐπείπερ θερμότερον οἱ ἄνθρωποι λυποῦνται ἀκούοντες 24 τῶν λυπηρῶν καὶ πλείω τούτων αἰσθάνονται ἢ τῶν ἡδίστων.
