καὶ εἴγε τις ἔροιτο, πόθεν ἐλήλυθεν, ἀποκρινεῖται ὁ εἰπὼν »ὁ ἄνωθεν ἐρχόμενος ἐπάνω πάντων ἐστίν« καὶ »ὁ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἐρχόμενος ὃ ἑώρακεν καὶ ἤκουσεν μαρτυρεῖ«· τίς δ’ ἦν »ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ«; μήτι γε ἡ σὰρξ ἣν ἀνείληφεν ὁ σωτήρ; οὐδαμῶς. ἀλλ’ αὐτός δηλονότι τὸ φῶς καὶ ὁ λόγος καὶ ὁ θεὸς καὶ ὁ μονογενὴς καὶ ὁ υἱός, αὐτὸς ὢν ταῦτα πάντα, »ἃ ἑώρακεν« τοίνυν οὗτος »καὶ ἃ ἤκουσεν«, φησίν, »μαρτυρεῖ«. οὐκοῦν καὶ ἑώρα καὶ ἤκουσεν πρὶν ἐπὶ γῆς ἐλθεῖν.
