The head with the feet and the inwards
And there are some who partake of the head and, if you will, of each of the parts of the head — for example of ears, as those who have ears may be able to hear his words. Those who have tasted of the eyes will see clearly, their feet not stumbling. Those of the hands who are workers, no longer having hands hanging down nor drawn back from giving, grasp instruction before the Lord is angry. And others, having leaned on his breast, will know through this eating also who the betrayers of Christ are (Matthew 11:15) (Psalm 2:12) (John 13:23) (John 13:21–26) (Psalm 119:105) (Hebrews 12:12).
Greek
[Εἴσι δέ τι]νες οἱ μεταλαμβ[άνουσι τῆς]|| κε[φαλῆς καί, εἰ βούλει, τῶν] τ[ῆς κεφαλῆς ἑκάστου μερῶν, οἷον ὤτων ὡς ἂν ἔχοντες ὦτα δύνανται τῶν λόγων ἀκούειν αὐτοῦ· τῶν δὲ ὀφθαλμῶν οἱ γευσάμενοι τηλαυγῶς ὄψονται, μὴ προσκοπτόντων αὐτοῖς τῶν ποδῶν, τῶν δὲ χειρῶν οἱ ὄντες ἐργατικοὶ μηκέτι τὰς χεῖρας ἔχοντες ἀνειμένας μηδὲ πρὸς τὸ διδόναι συνεσταλμένας, δρασσόμενοι παιδείας πρὶν ὀργισθῆναι κ(ύριο)ν· ἄλλοι δὲ ἐπὶ τὸ στῆθος ἀναπεσόντες αὐτοῦ διὰ ταύτης τῆς βρώσεως γνώσονται καὶ τίνες οἱ προδόται τοῦ X(ριστο)ῦ·
