Ἔτι φησὶν ἐπὶ τοῦ βαπτίσματος ὁ Ματθαῖος· «Ἀνεῴχθησαν αὐτῷ οἱ οὐρανοί, καὶ εἶδε Πνεῦμα Θεοῦ καταβαῖνον ὡσεὶ περιστερὰν καὶ ἐρχόμενον εἰς αὐτόν. Καὶ ἰδοὺ φωνὴ ἐξ οὐρανοῦ λέγουσα· Σὺ εἶ ὁ Υἱός μου ὁ ἀγαπητὸς ἐν ᾧ εὐδόκησα.» Οὐ γὰρ τότε κατῆλθεν ὁ Χριστὸς εἰς τὸν Ἰησοῦν, οὐδὲ ἄλλος μὲν ὁ Χριστὸς ἄλλος δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, ἀλλ' ὁ Λόγος τοῦ Θεοῦ ὁ Σωτὴρ πάντων καὶ κυριεύων οὐρανοῦ καὶ γῆς, οὗτός ἐστιν Ἰησοῦς, καθὼς προεδιδάξαμεν, προσλαβόμενος σάρκα καὶ χρισθεὶς ὑπὸ τοῦ Πατρὸς τῷ Πνεύματι, Χριστὸς Ἰησοῦς ἐγίνετο, καθὼς Ἠσαΐας φησίν.
