my Savior and Lord is about to stand before the Father, being judged with all of us men. And he is judged with all men. I say: he is judged, he himself is also examined, and he stood indeed vindicating the truth, but not as an accuser. "Woe is me, mother, what a man you have borne me, one who judges and is judged in all the earth?" A prophet cannot say "in all the earth." But I know those who are fond of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and not only fond but also loving, being indignant and saying that <not> the Savior says this, that the voice is not according to the Son of God. But must it be shown that "Woe is me, mother" is not foreign to the Son of God? "My soul is very sorrowful, even to death," and "my soul is troubled," and of the things said among the prophets, likewise also here: "Woe is me, mother, what a man you have borne me, one who judges and is judged in all the earth," or when a late-gleaning is lost for finding a cluster of grapes: "Woe is me, O soul, for the godly has perished from the earth, and he who acts rightly among men does not exist." Who is it there that says "Woe is me, for I have become <as> one gathering straw in the harvest"? For was the prophet gathering and does he wish to gather? For does the prophet have a field? But it is for no one to gather [and] all things from the harvest and from the things sown, except for the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Since, therefore, there are many fallings among the nations, but also among us who are considered to be of the church, he laments and mourns our sins, saying: "Woe is me, for I have become as one gathering straw." Let each of us examine himself: Is he an ear of corn? Will the Son of God find in him anything to gather or to harvest? We will find that we are some who are blighted by the wind; if indeed we still have a little within ourselves, two or three grains, our sins are many upon us. Seeing, therefore, also the churches, which are so-called, filled with sinners, he says: "Woe is me, for I have become as one gathering straw in the harvest and as a late-gleaning in the vintage." He came seeking fruit on the vine; for each of us is planted ... and as a vine "in a fruitful place," and "he brought a vine out of Egypt," "But I planted you a fruitful vine, wholly true." He comes, seeking somehow to gather the vintage; he finds a certain late-gleaning and small clusters, not flourishing nor many. Which of us has clusters of virtue? Which of us has fruits of God? "O Lord our God, how wonderful is your name in all the earth." 15.4 Let these things have been said by me as in a digression <concerning> the "Woe is me, mother." that it is not foreign to the divinity of our Savior, seeing the sins of men, now to say "Woe is me," of the Savior not as he is God but as he is man, not as he is wisdom but as he is soul, I set forth that <the> prophetic: "Woe is me, O soul, for the godly has perished from the earth, and he who acts rightly among men does not exist." The blessed soul came upon human life, he took up a body on behalf of men. If he should see sins, he says to the Father: "What profit is there in my blood, in my going down to corruption? Will dust confess to you?" But concerning us may he not say "Woe is me," concerning us may the angels of the heavens not say it. When our Savior says "Woe is me," they themselves will also say "Woe is me"; for they are not better than our Savior, and they themselves see our faults. But blessed are those concerning whom the angels will not say "Woe is me," but they are called blessed; for "there is joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine who have no need of repentance." These things for consolation. "Woe is me, mother, what a man have you borne me?" Whom does he call mother? Among women can he not mean both the soul and Mary? But if one accepts "Just now my mother, the Holy Spirit, took me and brought me to the great mountain Tabor" and the following, one can see his mother. "Woe is me, mother, what a man have you borne me, one who judges and is judged in all the earth?" He judges all the earth and is judged and is about to say to each: I have done these and these things, and the

ὁ σωτήρ μου καὶ κύριος μέλλει ἐπὶ τοῦ πατρὸς ἑστάναι, κρινόμενος μετὰ πάντων ἡμῶν τῶν ἀνθρώπων. καὶ κρίνεται μετὰ πάντων τῶν ἀνθρώπων. λέγω· κρίνεται, ἐξετάζεται καὶ αὐτός, καὶ ἔστη μὲν ἐκδικῶν τὴν ἀλήθειαν, οὐχ ὡς κατήγορος δέ. «οἴμοι ἐγώ, μῆτερ, ὡς τίνα με ἔτεκες ἄνδρα δικαζόμενον καὶ διακρινόμενον ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ;» οὐ δύναται προφήτης τὸ «πάσῃ τῇ γῇ» λέγειν.
