Καὶ γὰρ υἱὸν θεοῦ, Χριστόν, κατὰ τὴν τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ἀποκάλυψιν ἐπιγνόντα αὐτὸν ἔνα τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ, Σίμωνα πρότερον καλούμενον, ἐπωνόμασε Πέτρον [cf. MT., XVI, 15-18]. Καὶ υἱὸν θεοῦ γεγραμμένον αὐτὸν ἐν τοῖς ἀπομνημονεύμασι τῶν ἀποστόλων αὐτοῦ [ibid.] ἔχοντες καὶ [fol. 153] υἱὸν αὐτὸν λέγοντες νενοήκαμεν ὄντα καὶ πρὸ πάντων ποιημάτων ἀπὸ τοῦ πατρὸς δυνάμει αὐτοῦ καὶ βουλῇ προελθόντα, ὃς καὶ σοφία [Prov., VIII, 1 sqq.] καὶ ἡμέρα [Ps., CXVII, 24] καὶ ἀνατολὴ [ZACH., VI, 12] καὶ μάχαιρα [Is., XXVII, 1] καὶ λίθος [DAN., II, 34] καὶ ῥάβδος [Is., XI, 1] καὶ Ἰακὼβ [Ps., XXIII, 6] καὶ Ἰσραὴλ [Ps., LXXI, 18] κατ᾿ ἄλλον καὶ ἄλλον τρόπον ἐν τοῖς τῶν προφητῶν λόγοις προσηγόρευται, καὶ διὰ τῆς παρθένου ἄνθρωπον γεγονέναι, ἵνα καὶ δι᾿ ἦς ὁδοῦ ἡ ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄφεως παρακοὴ τὴν ἀρχὴν ἔλαβε, διὰ ταύτης τῆς ὁδοῦ καὶ κατάλυσιν λάβῃ.
