Matthew 26:37–38
He is grieved as a human, and the impassible one makes his own what belongs to the soul and what belongs to the body. Since what belongs to humanity is common to him, just as what befits divinity alone has somehow also become common to the flesh through the ineffable and inexpressible union, let what happened scandalize no one; for the Word’s coming together with flesh, having suffered what is its own, will confirm well in us the mystery of the incarnation (Matthew 26:37–38).
Greek
λυπεῖται δὲ ὡς ἄνθρωπος καὶ τὰ τῆς ψυχῆς καὶ τὰ τοῦ σώματος ἴδια ποιεῖται ὁ ἀπαθής. ἐπειδὴ τὰ τῆς ἀνθρωπότητος κοινά ἐστιν αὐτῷ, ὥσπερ καὶ τὰ μόνῃ τῇ θεότητι πρέποντα κοινά πως γέγονε τῇ σαρκὶ διὰ τὴν ἄρρητον καὶ ἀνέκφραστον ἕνωσιν, καὶ μὴ σκανδαλιζέτω τινὰ τὸ συμβάν· ἡ γὰρ πρὸς σάρκα σύνοδος τοῦ λόγου παθοῦσα τὰ ἑαυτῆς βε βαιώσει καλῶς ἐν ἡμῖν τῆς ἐνανθρωπήσεως τὸ μυστήριον.
