Ὅμοιον δὲ πάσχουσιν, ὡς εἴ τις παραπεπληγὼς τὴν διάνοιαν, τὴν μὲν γῆν φωτιζομένην ὑπὸ τοῦ ἡλίου βλέπει, τὸν δὲ ταύτην φωτίζοντα ἥλιον ἀρνεῖται. τί γὰρ καὶ πλεῖον ἐλθὼν ὁ προσδοκώμενος παρ' αὐτοῖς ἔχει ποιῆσαι; καλέσαι τὰ ἔθνη; ἀλλ’ ἔφθασαν κληθῆναι. ἀλλὰ παῦσαι προφήτην, καὶ βασιλέα, καὶ ὅρασιν; γέγονεν ἤδη καὶ τοῦτο. τὴν εἰδώλων ἀθεότητα διελέγξαι; διηλέγχθη ἤδη καὶ κατεγνώσθη. ἀλλὰ τὸν θάνατον καταργῆσαι; κατήργηται ἤδη.
