The clothing of those at the meal
For it is confessed that he transferred us from Egypt and from its rulers, whom he nailed to the cross, having made a show of them triumphing in openness over them in it. For this reason "Behold I have come — for it is written in the heading of a book about me —, O God, to do your will," (Colossians 2:14–15) having said beforehand: "Sacrifice and offering you did not want, but a body you prepared for me; burnt offering and offering for sin you did not take pleasure in," (Hebrews 10:5–7) (Psalm 40:6–8)
Greek
Ὁμολογουμένως γὰρ μετέστησεν ἡμᾶς Αἰγύπτου καὶ τῶν αὐτῆς ἀρχόντων, οὓς προσήλωσεν τῷ σταυρῷ παραδειγματίσας <ἐν παρρησίᾳ θριαμβεύσας> αὐτοὺς ἐν αὐτῷ. Διὰ τοῦτο "Ἰδοὺ ἥκω – γέγραπται γὰρ ἐν κεφαλίδι βιβλίου περὶ ἐμοῦ –, ὁ θεός, τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ θέλημά σου, προειπών· θυσίαν καὶ προσφορὰν οὐκ ἠθέλησας, σῶμα δέ μοι κατηρτίσω, ὁλοκαύτωμα καὶ περὶ ἁμαρτίας οὐκ εὐδόκησας",
