Τότε εἶδεν ὁ ὀλοθρεύων τὸ αἷμα ταῖς θύραις ἐπικεχρισμένον καὶ οὐκ ἐτόλμησεν εἰσπηδῆσαι· νῦν ἂν ἴδῃ ὁ διάβολος οὐχὶ θύραις ἐπικεχρισμένον τὸ αἷμα τοῦ τύπου ἀλλὰ τῷ στόματι τῶν πιστῶν ἐπικεχρισμένον τὸ αἷμα τῆς ἀληθείας ταῖς θύραις τοῦ ναοῦ τοῦ χριστοφόρου, οὐ πολλῷ μᾶλλον ἑαυτὸν καθέξει; Εἰ γὰρ ἄγγελος ἰδὼν τὸν τύπον ᾐδέσθη, πολλῷ μᾶλλον ὁ διάβολος ἰδὼν τὴν ἀλήθειαν φεύξεται.
