| Ἦλθέ τις τῶν γερόντων πρὸς τὸν ἀββᾶν Θεόδωρον, και εἷπεν αὐτῷ· Ἰδοὺ ὁ δεῖνα ὁ αδελφος ὑπέστρεψεν εις τὸν κόσμον. Και εἷπεν αὐτῷ ὁ γερων· Ἐπι τούτῳ θαυμάζεις; μὴ θαυμαζῃς, ἀλλὰ θαύμασον μᾶλλον ἐὰν ἀκούσῃς ὅτι ἠδυνήθη τις ἐκφυγειν ἀπὸ τοῦ στόματος τοῦ ἐχθροῦ.
᾽Αποφθεγματα των ἀγιων γεροντων, Παλλαδιος |
One of the elders come to Father Theodoros and said to him, 'Behold, a brother has gone back to the world.' And he replied, 'Why are you amazed? Do not be amazed, but rather be astonished when you hear that someone is able to flee from the mouth of the enemy.'
