Εἰ μὲν ἠγνόεις τὸ πρᾶγμα, παράνομε Ἰουδαῖε, δικαίως καὶ ἐζήτεις τὸν τρόπον· οὐκ ἤκουσας πάλαι Ἠσαΐου ἐν προφήταις κράζοντος· «Ἀκούσατε δὴ, οἶκος Δαυίδ, μὴ μικρὸν ὑμῖν ἀγῶνα παρέχει ἀνθρώποις; καὶ πῶς Κυρίῳ παρέχετε ἀγῶνα; Διὰ τοῦτο δώσει Κύριος αὐτὸς ὑμῖν σήμειον· ἰδοῦ ἡ παρθένος ἐν γαστρὶ λήμψεται καὶ τέξεται υἱὸν καὶ καλέσουσιν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἐμμανουήλ.»
