創造眾生的那位成為人
創造星的那位安歇母懷
生命之糧那位將要飢餓
生命活泉那位將要乾渴
生命之光那位將需睡眠
生命之道那位將會疲憊
真理本體將被控假見證
偉大的教師將遭受鞭打
根基將要被掛在木頭上
大能者將成為無力之輩
醫治者將要被刺透致死
生命本體將要進入死亡

attributed to 奧古斯丁

Man’s maker was made man,
that He, Ruler of the stars, might nurse at His mother’s breast;
that the Bread might hunger,
the Fountain thirst,
the Light sleep,
the Way be tired on its journey;
that the Truth might be accused of false witness,
the Teacher be beaten with whips,
the Foundation be suspended on wood;
that Strength might grow weak;
that the Healer might be wounded;
that Life might die.

– Augustine
