Exodus 12:8–9
And after we have been anointed — that is, have believed in Christ — then we are also commanded to come to the eating of Christ, as the next words show: And they shall eat the meats this night, roasted with fire, and unleavened bread on bitter herbs they shall eat. You shall not eat of them raw, nor boiled in water, but roasted with fire, the head with the feet and the inwards (Exodus 12:8–9).
Greek
Μετὰ δὲ τὸ χρισθῆναι ἡμᾶς, τοῦτ' ἔστιν τὸ πιστεῦσαι εἰς X(ριστό)ν, τότε καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν βρῶσιν ἔρχεσθαι κελευόμεθα τοῦ X(ριστο)ῦ ὡς δηλοῖ τὰ ἑξῆς ῥητά· Καὶ φάγονται τὰ κρέα τῇ νυκτὶ ταύτῃ ὀπτὰ πυρὶ καὶ ἄζυμα ἐπὶ πικρίδων ἔδονται.|| [Οὐκ ἔδεσθε ἀπ' αὐτῶν ὠμὸν οὐδὲ ἡψημένον ἐν ὕδατι, ἀλλ' ἢ ὀπτὰ πυρί, κεφαλὴν σὺν τοῖς ποσὶ καὶ τοῖς ἐνδοσθίοις.]
