καὶ πρέπον γε ἐπὶ τῆς Ἰησοῦ ψυχῆς οὕτω λέγειν τὸν θάνατον γεγονέναι, καὶ αὐτὸν παραστῆσαι βουλόμενον τοῖς μαθηταῖς τὸ ἐξαίρετον τῆς ἐντεῦθεν αὐτοῦ ἀπαλλαγῆς εἰρηκέναι τὸ »Οὐδεὶς »αἴρει τὴν ψυχήν μου ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ, ἀλλ’ ἐγὼ τίθημι αὐτὴν ἀπ’ ἐμαυτοῦ«· τοῦτο γὰρ οὔτ’ ἂν Μωϋσῆς, οὔτε τῶν Πατριαρχῶν τις ἢ προφητῶν, οὔτ’ ἂν τῶν ἀποστόλων τις εἶπεν 〈πλὴν〉 τοῦ Ἰησοῦ, ἐπεὶ πάντων αἱ ψυχαὶ ἀνθρώπων αἴρονται ἀπ’ αὐτῶν.
