Greek text · Archambault 1:306

Καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἄλλων ὧν προεῖπον ὁμοίως διὰ Δαυΐδ λελέχθαι λόγων, ὅτι ἀπʼ ἄκρων τῶν οὐρανῶν προέρχεσθαι ἔμελλεν καὶ πάλιν εἰς τοὺς αὐτοὺς τόπους ἀνιέναι ἐμηνύετο, ἀναμνήσθητε, ἵνα καὶ θεὸν ἄνωθεν προελθόντα καὶ ἄνθρωπον ἐν ἀνθρώποις γενόμενον γνωρίσητε, καὶ πάλιν ἐκεῖνον παραγενησόμενον, ὃν ὁρᾶν μέλλουσι καὶ κόπτεσθαι οἱ ἐκκεντήσαντες αὐτόν.

English · Claude translation

“And from the other words which I said before were likewise spoken through David, remember that it was indicated that he would come forth from the heights of the heavens and go up again to the same places, so that you may recognize him as God coming forth from above and becoming man among men, and as the one who will come again, whom those who pierced him will see and mourn.
