Καὶ ταῦτα διδάσκων τὸν βαπτιστὴν ὁ δεσπότης ἐβόα· «Ἄφες ἄρτι· οὕτως γὰρ πρέπον ἐστὶν ἡμῖν πληρῶσαι πᾶσαν δικαιοσύνην». Ἄφες ἄρτι· ἄωρόν μοι νῦν δοξολογίαν προσφέρεις· οὐκ ἐν καιρῷ μοι γυμνοῖς τὸ ἀξίωμα ἐκλαχισ... τῷ διαβόλῳ μὴ θέλω τὸ τῆς θεότητός μοι κεκρυμμένον μυστήριον. Οὐκ ἐᾷς αὐτὸν ὡς ἑνί μοι τῶν ἐξ Ἀδὰμ προσελθόντα παρὰ τῆς συνημμένης μοι σοφῶς καταρραγῆναι θεότητος, φυγαδεύεις τὴν θήραν.
