人未有升天者、惟人子由天而降、依然在天、○

所謂上帝餅者、乃降自天、以生賜世者也、

疇能升穹蒼、疇能降寰宇、疇能止狂飆、疇能包江海、疇能奠山嶽、其名何名、其子之名又何名、請以告我。

耶穌曰、我未升見父、勿援止我、往告我兄弟、曰、我升見我父、即爾父、我上帝、即爾上帝、

約拿三日三夜、在巨魚腹、如是、人子亦將三日三夜在地中、

蓋父自愛爾、以爾愛我、且信我出自上帝也、我自父臨世、復離世歸父、

人欲害予、必陷於地下兮、

我在母胎、受造甚巧、骨骸潛長、皆爾所知兮、

爾使人子、少遜於天使兮、後加以尊榮。

耶和華臨格、觀眾所築之邑臺、

惟見耶穌少遜於天使、緣其受死、加以尊榮、以上帝恩為眾死、

此天降之餅、非如爾祖食嗎嗱而死、食此餅者永生也、

耶穌曰、我雖自證、我證亦真、蓋我自知何來何去、爾不知我何來何去、

我乃生之餅、天降者也、食此則永生、我所予之餅、即我之肉、為世得生而捐者、○

我耶和華救雅各家以色列族、以彰己榮、天上地下、俱當歡呼、山岡林木、無不謳歌。

倘見人子升故處、則又何如、

我降自天、非行己意、乃遣我者之意、

夫大闢固未以身升天、而當時言曰、主謂我主云、坐吾右、我將以汝敵、置爾足下、然則舉以色列家宜確知、爾所釘之耶穌、上帝立之為主、為基督矣、○
