καὶ ἄλλας δὲ πράξεις εὕροις ἂν ὑπὸ τοῦ σωτῆρος ἡμῶν κρείττονι ἢ κατὰ Μωσέα δυνάμει γεγονυίας, παραπλησίας γε μὴν αἷς καὶ ὁ Μώσης διεπράξατο, οἷον, ὡς ἐπὶ παραδείγματος, Μώσης ἐφεξῆς τεσσαράκοντα ἡμέρας ἐνήστευσεν, ὡς ἡ γραφὴ μαρτυρεῖ λέγουσα “καὶ ἦν ἐκεῖ; Μωσῆς ἔναντι κυρίου τεσσαράκοντα ἡμέρας καὶ τεσσαράκοντα νύκτας, ἄρτον οὐκ ἔφαγεν, καὶ ὕδωρ οὐκ ἔπιεν.” Ὡσαύτως δὲ καὶ ὁ Χριστός. γέγραπται γοῦν ‘καὶ ἤγετο εἰς τὴν ἔρημον τεσσαράκοντα ἡμέρας πειραζόμενος ὑπὸ τοῦ διαβόλου, καὶ οὐδὲν ἔφαγεν ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις.” καὶ πάλιν Μώσης ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ τροφὰς τῷ λαῷ παρέσχε. λέγει δ’ οὖν ἡ γραφή “ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ δίδωμι ὑμῖν ἄρτους ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ.”
