Matthew 26:37–38
He is grieved as a human, and the impassible one makes his own what belongs to the soul and what belongs to the body. Since what belongs to humanity is common to him, just as what befits divinity alone has somehow also become common to the flesh through the ineffable and inexpressible union, let what happened scandalize no one; for the Word’s coming together with flesh, having suffered what is its own, will confirm well in us the mystery of the incarnation.
Greek
Τὸ εἰρημένον 33 νοητὴν ἔχει τὴν διὰ πίστεως θέαν· ὅταν γὰρ "εἰσέλθῃ τὸ πλήρωμα τῶν ἐθνῶν" καὶ πιστεύσωσι τῷ Χριστῷ, τότε οἱ μετὰ ταῦτα πιστεύσαντες Ἰουδαῖοι ὁρῶσι τὸ τῆς θεότητος κάλλος τοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐν υἱῷ θεωροῦντες εἶναι τὸν πατέρα καὶ αὐτὸν λέγοντες εἶναι τὸν λυτρωτὴν τὸν διὰ τῶν προφητῶν κηρυχθέντα, περὶ οὗ προμεμήνυκεν ὁ προφήτης ὡς ἐρχόμενον ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου· οἱ γὰρ ἄλλοι προφῆται οὐκ ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου ἦλθον· ἔλεγον γάρ· "τάδε κύριος" καὶ "δοῦλος κυρίου ἐγώ εἰμι, καὶ τὸν θεὸν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἐγὼ σέβομαι".
