Greek text · Archambault 1:160–162

Κἀκεῖνος ἀπεκρίνατο· Ἔστω καὶ ταῦτα οὕτως ἔχοντα ὡς λέγεις, καὶ ὅτι παθητὸς Χριστὸς προεφητεύθη μέλλειν εἶναι, καὶ λίθος κέκληται, καὶ ἔνδοξος μετὰ τὴν πρώτην αὐτοῦ παρουσίαν, ἐν ᾗ παθητὸς φαίνεσθαι κεκήρυκτο, ἐλευσόμενος καὶ κριτὴς πάντων λοιπὸν καὶ αἰώνιος βασιλεὺς καὶ ἱερεὺς γενησόμενος· εἰ οὗτος δέ ἐστι περὶ οὗ ταῦτα προεφητεύθη, ἀπόδειξον.

English · Claude translation

And he answered, “Let these things be as you say: that the Christ was foretold as one who would suffer, and has been called a Stone, and that after his first coming, in which it was proclaimed he would appear subject to suffering, he will come in glory and be judge of all, and eternal King and Priest. But prove that this man is the one of whom these things were prophesied.”
