Clement of Alexandria · Excerpts from Theodotus · ca. 200 · Alexandria · Read in context

Summary: They read Christ's predictions of his passion as referring to another, the passible element.

Greek text · Stählin 3:127

καὶ ὅταν λέγῃ »δεῖ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἀποδοκιμασθῆναι, ὑβρισθῆναι, σταυρωθῆναι«, ὡς περὶ ἄλλου φαίνεται λέγων, δηλονότι τοῦ ἐμπαθοῦς.

English · Claude translation

And when he says, “The Son of Man must be rejected, insulted, crucified,” he appears to speak as of another, that is, of the one subject to passion.
