1261:1
67. Hujus onagri vincula soluta sunt, cuminfirmitates passionis, in resurrectionis gloriam sunt commu tata. — Vincula quippe ejus tunc soluta sunt cum infirmitates passionis illius in resurrectionis sunt gloriam commutatae. Quasi quaedam vincula Dominus habuit ea quæ nos nequitia merito patimur, nostrae mortalitatis infirma, quibus et usque ad mortem sponte ligari se voluit, et quae per resurrectionem mirabiliter solvit. Esurire enim, sitire, lasseIcere, teneri, flagellari, cruciGgi, nostrae mortalitatis vinculum fuit. Sed cum expleta morte velum templi rumperetur, scinderentur petrae, monumenta panderentur, inferni claustra patescerent;
67. The bonds of this wild ass were loosed when the infirmities of his passion were changed into the glory of the resurrection.—For his bonds were then loosed when the infirmities of his passion were changed into the glory of the resurrection. The Lord had, as it were, certain bonds—those things which we by wickedness deservedly suffer, the infirm conditions of our mortality—by which he willed of his own accord to be bound even unto death, and which through the resurrection he wondrously loosed. For to hunger, to thirst, to grow weary, to be held, to be scourged, to be crucified, was the bond of our mortality. But when, death being accomplished, the veil of the temple was rent, the rocks were split, the tombs were opened, the bars of hell were unbarred;
六十七、這野驢的繩索被解開，是當他受難的軟弱被變為復活的榮耀之時。—因為他的繩索被解開，正是當他受難的軟弱被變為復活的榮耀之時。主彷彿有某些繩索—就是我們因罪孽理當受的、我們必死之性的軟弱—他甘願被這些束縛直到死地，又藉復活奇妙地解開了它們。因為飢餓、乾渴、疲乏、被拿住、被鞭打、被釘十字架，都是我們必死之性的繩索。但當死亡完成、殿裡的幔子裂開、磐石崩裂、墳墓開了、陰間的門閂被拔開之時；
1261:2
quid aliud tot argumentis tantae virtutis ostenditur, nisi quod illa infirmitatis nostrae vincula solvebantur, ut is qui ad suscipiendam servi formam venerat, in ipsa servi forma ab inferni vinculis absolutus, ad cœlum etiatn cum membris liber rediret? De quibus ejus vinculis Petrus apostolus attestatur dicens: Quem Deus su scitavit solutis doloribus inferni, juxta quod impossibile erat illum teneri ab eo (Act. II, 24). Et quia post mortem suam atque resurrectionem ad gratiam fidei gentilitatem vocare dignatus est, postquam dicta sunt soluta ejus vincula, apte subjungitur:
what else is shown by so many proofs of such great power, but that those bonds of our infirmity were being loosed, so that he who had come to take upon himself the form of a servant, in that very form of a servant loosed from the bonds of hell, might return free to heaven even with his members? Of which bonds of his the apostle Peter bears witness, saying: Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of hell, according as it was impossible that he should be held by it (Acts 2:24). And because, after his death and resurrection, he deigned to call the Gentiles to the grace of faith, after his bonds are said to be loosed, it is aptly subjoined:
這麼多如此大能的憑據所顯明的，豈不正是我們軟弱的那些繩索正被解開，使那位來取奴僕形像的主，在那奴僕形像本身之中從陰間的繩索得釋放，甚至能帶著他的肢體得自由歸回天上？論到他的這些繩索，使徒彼得作見證說：神卻將死的痛苦解釋了，叫他復活，因為他原不能被死拘禁（徒二24）。又因他在死而復活之後，屈尊召外邦人得著信心的恩典，故在說他的繩索被解開之後，就恰當地補上：
