The Nature of the Anointed
Therefore, if indeed the Anointed proves God, whose throne was said to be eternal, the one who anointed is clearly God by nature, having been born of God; but the one anointed has acquired virtue through the judgment of a divine craft, being adorned by the divinity that dwells in him.
In short, the prophet Isaiah, having passed through the traces of his sufferings, brings them to others and cries out this more loudly: 'We saw him, yet he had neither appearance nor beauty; but his appearance was without value and lacking among the sons of men' (Isaiah 53:2).
Then he shines forth brokenly as if toward man, but the forms and the sufferings of elegance do not rise toward the divine.

Commentarius in Psalmum 92 (fragmenta) ΕΡΜΗΝΕΙΑ ΤΟΥ 92 ΨΑΛΜΟΥ 35 Πρόδηλον οὖν εἴπερ ὁ χρίων ἀποδεικνύει Θεὸν οὗ τὸν θρόνον εἶπεν αἰώνιον, δῆλος μέν ἐστι φύσει Θεὸς ἐκ Θεοῦ γεννηθεὶς ὁ χρίσας, ὁ δὲ χρισθεὶς ἐπίκτητον εἴληφεν ἀρετὴν ἐκκρίτῳ ναουργίᾳ κοσμηθεὶς ἐκ τῆς τοῦ κατοικοῦντος ἐν αὐτῷ θεότητος. 36 Πέρας γοῦν ὁ προφήτης Ἡσαΐας αὐτὰ μὲν τὰ τῶν παθῶν αὐτοῦ διεξιὼν ἴχνη πρὸς τοῖς ἄλλοις ἐπιφέρει καὶ τοῦτο μεγαλοφωνοτέρᾳ βοῇ, τό· καὶ εἴδομεν αὐτὸν καὶ οὐκ εἶχεν οὔτε εἶδος οὔτε κάλλος· ἀλλὰ τὸ εἶδος αὐτοῦ ἄτιμον καὶ ἐκλεῖπον παρὰ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν ἀνθρώπων. Εἶτα διαρρήδην ἐκφαίνων ὡς εἰς τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἀλλ' οὐκ εἰς τὸ θεῖον ἀνήρτηται τὰ τῆς εὐπρεπείας εἴδη τε καὶ πάθη
