Ἀλλ᾿ ἵνα μή τις λέγῃ· Ἠγνόει οὖν ὅτι μέλλει πάσχειν· ἐπάγει ἐν τῷ ψαλμῷ εὐθύς· Καὶ οὐκ εἰς ἄνοιαν ἐμοί. Ὅνπερ τρόπον οὐδὲ τῷ θεῷ εἰς ἄνοιαν ἦν τὸ ἐρωτᾶν τὸν Ἀδὰμ ποῦ ἐστιν [cf. Gen., III, 9], οὐδὲ τὸν Κάϊν ποῦ Ἄβελ [cf. Gen., IV, 9], ἀλλ᾿ εἰς τὸ ἕκαστον ἐλέγξαι ὁποῖός ἐστι, καὶ εἰς ἡμᾶς τὴν γνῶσιν πάντων διὰ τοῦ ἀναγραφῆναι ἐλθεῖν, καὶ οὗτος ἐσήμαινεν οὐκ εἰς ἄνοιαν τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ἀλλὰ τῶν νομιζόντων μὴ εἶναι αὐτὸν Χριστόν, ἀλλ᾿ ἡγουμένων θανατώσειν αὐτὸν καὶ ὡς κοινὸν ἄνθρωπον ἐν ᾅδου μενεῖν.
