τοῦτο δὲ ἑρμηνεύων ὁ ἀπόστολός φησι τὸ δὲ ἀνέβη τί ἐστὶν, εἰ μὴ ὅτι καὶ κατέβη πρῶτον εἰς τὰ κατώτατα τῆς γῆς ; ὁ καταβὰς αὐτός ἐστι καὶ ὁ ἀναβὰς ὑπεράνω τῶν οὐρανῶν.” ἐν ἀλαλαγμῷ δὲ αὐτόν φησιν ἀνεληλυθέναι διὰ τὴν εἰς αὐτὸν θεολογίαν τῶν δορυφορούντων αὐτὸν ἀνιόντα ἀγγέλων, οἳ καὶ ἔλεγον ‟ἄρατε οἱ ἄρχοντες ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐπάρθητε πύλαι αἰώνιοι, καὶ εἰσελεύσεται ὁ βασιλεὺς τῆς δόξης.” φωνὴν δὲ οὐκ ἂν σφαλείης τὸ κήρυγμα εἰπὼν τὸ εὐαγγελικὸν εἰς πᾶσαν ἐξηχῆσαν τὴν οἰκουμένην.
