The Passover is not a type of the passion
Since then lacuna. The sheep is sacrificed by holy ones or Nazirites, but the Savior is sacrificed by the lawless and by sinners. And that the sheep of the Passover is sacrificed by holy ones, the apostle has also said: "For our Passover also has been sacrificed, Christ." (1 Corinthians 5:7) Christ is sacrificed according to the type of the Passover. He is sacrificed by the holy ones. And the Passover is a type of Christ — yet not of his passion (Numbers 6:14–17) (Acts 2:23).

[Ἐ]πεὶ οὖν ... μ ... σιν το ... το ... γοις το ... ινο. [Τὸ μὲν ] πρόβα[τ]ον ὑπ[ὸ ἁγί]ων ἢ [Να]ζιραίων θύ[εται,] ὁ δὲ σ(ωτ)ὴρ ὑπὸ ἀνόμων [καὶ ἁ]μαρτωλῶν θύεται· κα[ὶ ὅτι] τοῦ πάσχα τὸ πρόβατον ὑπὸ ἁγίων θύεται, εἴρηκέν τε ὁ ἀπόστολος· "Καὶ γὰρ τὸ πάσχα ἡμῶν ἐτύθη X(ριστό)ς", θύεται μὲν ὁ X(ριστὸ)ς κατὰ τὸν τύπον τοῦ πάσχα, ὑπὸ τῶν ἁγίων θύεται,|| καὶ τύπος μὲν X(ριστο)ῦ ἐστιν τὸ πάσχα, οὐ μέντοι γε τοῦ πάθους αὐτοῦ.
