77 Καὶ ὁ Ἰωάννης ἐν εὐφρασίᾳ πολλῇ ληφθεὶς καὶ καταμαθὼν τὴν ὅλην θεωρίαν τῆς σωτηρίας τοῦ ἀνθρώπου
εἶπεν· Ὢ τί κρατεῖς κύριε Ἰησοῦ Χριστὲ οὐκ οἶδα, ἠπορημένος ἐπὶ τῇ πολλῇ σου εὐσπλαγχνίᾳ καὶ ἀπείρῳ μακροθυμίᾳ· ὢ μέγεθος οἷον εἰς δουλείαν κατῆλθεν· ὢ ἐλευθερία ἄφραστος δουλαγωγηθεῖσα παῤ ὑμῶν· ὢ ἀπερινόητε δόξα ἡμῶν· ὁ καὶ τὸν νεκρὸν οἶκον φυλάξας ἀνύβριστον, ὁ τοῦ καθαιμάξαντος
ἑαυτὸν ἀνθρώπου λυτραωτὴς καὶ τοῦ τὰ φθειρόμενα σώματα σωφρονίζων· ὁ πατὴρ ὁ ἐλεήσας καὶ σπλαγχνισθεὶς ἐπὶ τὸν ἀμελήσαντα ἄνθρωπον· δοξάζομέν σε καὶ αἰνοῦμεν καὶ εὐλογοῦμεν καὶ εὐχαριστοῦμεν τὴν πολλήν σου χρηστότητα καὶ μακροθυμίαν ἅγιε Ἰησοῦ· ὅτι σὺ μόνος θεὸς καὶ οὐχὶ ἕτερος·
ὁ τὸ ἀνεπιβούλευτον κράτος καὶ νῦν καὶ εἰς τοὺς ἅπαντας αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων· ἀμήν.

[77] And John, filled with great gladness and perceiving the whole spectacle of the salvation of man, said: What thy power is, Lord Jesu Christ, I know not, bewildered as I am at thy much compassion and boundless long-suffering. O what a greatness that came down into bondage! O unspeakable liberty brought into slavery by us! O incomprehensible glory that is come unto us! thou that hast kept the dead tabernacle safe from insult; that hast redeemed the man that stained himself with blood and chastened the soul of him that would defile the corruptible body; Father that hast had pity and compassion on the man that cared not for thee; We glorify thee, and praise and bless and thank thy great goodness and long-suffering, O holy Jesu, for thou only art God, and none else: whose is the might that cannot be conspired against, now and world without end. Amen.
