Preparing The Meal

Ἐρώτησις α'  Ἀπέλθατε τὴν ἀπέναντι κώμην, καὶ εὑρήσετε ἄνθρωπον κεράμιον ὕδατος βαστάζοντα. Τίς ἡ πόλις; Ἐκκλησία. Τί τὸ κεράμιον τοῦ ὕδατος; Τὸ ἅγιον βάπτισμα. Τίς ὁ ἄνθρωπος; Ὁ Πρόδρομος. Τί τὸ ἀνώγεον; Ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν. Ἂλλα ϛ'  Ἀπέλθατε εἰς τὴν ἀπέναντι κώμην πρὸς τὸν δεῖνα, καὶ εἴπατε αὐτῷ· Ὁ Διδάσκλαος λέγει· Πρὸς σὲ ποιῶ τὸ Πάσχα μετὰ τῶν μαθητῶν μου. Τίς ἡ πόλις; Ὁ ᾅδῃς. Ὁ δεῖνα; Ὁ Ἀδάμ· ἔμελλε γὰρ ἐγεῖραι αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν. Ψευδο Ἀθανάσιος, Πησεις Και Ἐρμηνειαι Παραβολων Του Ἅγιον Εὔαγγελιου Source: Migne PG 28.712a,c
