由天而降、依然在天之人子外、從無升天者、

天主之糧、乃由天降、以生命賜世者也、

誰昇天又降、誰集風於手、誰包水在雲如在衣、誰奠定地之四極、其名何名、其子之名又何名、爾知之乎、

耶穌謂之曰、毋捫我、因我尚未升歸我父、可往見我兄弟、告之曰、我將升歸我父、亦爾之父、我天主、亦爾之天主、

約拿三日三夜在巨魚腹內、如是人子亦將三日三夜在地中、

蓋父自愛爾、以爾愛我、且信我出自天主、我由父出而臨世、復離世而歸父、

欲害我命者、必陷於禍患、必墮於地之深處、

我在暗中受造、在冥冥被聯絡、其時我之形體、未嘗隱於主、

主使之稍遜於天使、又加以尊貴榮耀、

主降臨、欲觀世人所建之城與臺、

惟見耶穌稍卑於天使、因死之苦、冠以尊榮、致其由天主恩為眾人受死、受死原文作嘗死

此乃由天降之糧、食此糧者必永生、非若爾祖食瑪拿、後亦死、

耶穌答曰、我雖為己作證、我證亦真、蓋我知我自何來何去、爾不知我自何來何去、

我乃生命之糧、由天降者、人食此糧則永生、我所賜之糧、即我之肉、我為使世人得生而舍之、

猶太人因耶穌云、我乃由天降之糧、遂非議之、

爾使其稍稍或作暫下同卑於天使、又冠之以尊以榮、使萬物服其足下、

主降臨於西乃山巔、召摩西登山巔、摩西登焉、

上天當謳歌、因主已成此事、下地當歡呼、山岡當發歌聲、林中諸樹亦當如此、因主已救贖雅各、在以色列中彰顯其榮、

倘爾見人子升於昔所在之處、則何如、

蓋我由天降、非為行己意、乃為行遣我者之意、

夫大衛未嘗升天、惟言曰、主謂我主云、爾坐我右、待我使爾敵、為爾足凳、是以舉以色列家當確知之、此耶穌、爾所釘於十字架者、天主已立之為主、為基督、○
