1We call upon you, all-powerful Lord Jesus Christ, heavenly king.

We call upon you who made heaven and earth.

I exorcise you, unclean spirit, by the word of God who made heaven and earth.

Fear the light held back as a garment.

The only one possessing immortality and unapproachable light.

To whom glory and power belong into the ages.

Amen.

Greek · §1

Fragmenta precationis et exorcismi Ἐπικαλούμεθά σε, Θεὲ παντοκράτορ Κύριε Ἰησοῦ Χριστὲ οὐράνιε βασιλεῦ· ἐπικαλούμεθά σε τὸν ποιήσαντα τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν. Ἐξορκίζω σε, πνεῦμα ἀκάθαρτον, κατὰ τοῦ λόγου Θεοῦ τοῦ ποιήσαντος τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν. φοβήθητι τὸν ἀναβαλλόμενον φῶς ὡς ἱμάτιον· τὸν μόνον ἔχοντα ἀθανασίαν καὶ φῶς ἀπρόσιτον· ᾧ ἡ δόξα καὶ τὸ κράτος εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας.
