1 Gen 2.7. 2 John 1.14. 3 Matt 3.13–16, Mark 1.9, Luke 3.21. 4 1 Cor 15.20–23. 5 Rom 8.29. 6 Col 1.18. 7 In the early church, “illumination” is another name for baptism. 8 1 Pet 3.21. 9 2 Kgs 2.11. 10 Matt 16.19. 11 Matt 6.12, Luke 11.4. 12 Rom 6.4, Col 2.12. 13 1 Pet 2.9. 14 Matt 5.14, Phil 2.15. 15 Gen 1.2–5. 16 Gen 1.14–17. 17 Gen 2.16–17. 18 Ps 119.105. 19 Prov 6.23. 20 Exod 34.29–30, 35. 21 Exod 3.2. 22 Exod 13.21. 23 2 Kgs 2.11. 24 Luke 2.9. 25 Matt 2.9. 26 Matt 17.2, Mark 9.3, Luke 9.29. 27 Acts 9.3–9, 18. 28 Wis 3.7, LXX. 29 Ps 81.1, 6, LXX. 30 Gen 2.7. 31 Gen 1.26–27. 32 Prov 18.3. 33 John 3.5. 34 John 3.3–4. Gregory wrote before the sacrament of confession took its present form and became known as a second baptism. 35 Luke 13.6–9. 36 Rom 6.4, Col 2.12. 37 Eph 2.6. 38 Rom 8.17. 39 Eph 6.16. 40 Ps 97.5.

41 Matt 4.3.

42 John 6.33. 43 Matt 4.6. 44 Matt 4.3–4, Luke 4.3–4. 45 Ps 91.11–12, Matt 4.6, Luke 4.10–11. 46 Ps 90.13, LXX. 47 Matt 4.8–9, Luke 4.5–8. 48 Gal 3.27. 49 Matt 4.11, Luke 4.13. 50 Exod 12.22, Num 19.6, Ps 51.7, Heb 9.19. 51 Num 19.2–4, 9. 52 Heb 9.13, 10.4. 53 Here the same Greek word can mean either “to be baptized” or “to be sunk.” Gregory is clearly playing with this ambiguity. 54 Matt 25.14–30.

55 2 Cor 6.2.

56 Eph 5.14. 57 Isa 28.19, LXX. 58 Reference uncertain. 59 Eccl 3.1–8. 60 Exod 12.21–24. 61 Prov 3.24, LXX. 62 Ps 90.5–6, LXX. 63 Matt 8.22. 64 2 Cor 11.14. 65 Luke 10.18. 66 1 Tim 6.11. 67 Eph 6.16. 68 1 Sam 17.50. 69 1 Sam 18.7. 70 1 Sam 1.11. 71 1 Sam 1.28. 72 1 Sam 2.18–19. 73 Prov 4.9. 74 Eph 5.23–27, 2 Cor 11.2, John 3.29. 75 John 2.1–11. 76 1 Cor 7.5. 77 1 Cor 7.6. 78 Matt 22.21, Mark 12.17, Luke 20.25. 79 Gen 19.17, 24–26. 80 Gen 19.17. 81 Josh 2.1–21, 6.17, 22–23. 82 Luke 18.13–14. 83 Matt 20.1ff.

84 2 Tim 4.8.

85 Ps 34.5.

86 John 12.35. 87 John 9.4. 88 John 1.9. 89 Prov 6.9. 90 Ps 140.4, LXX. 91 Luke 12.19–20. 92 Ps 42.1. 93 Gen 21.15–19. 94 This refers to the myth of Tantalus, who is punished after death for cutting up, cooking and serving his son at a feast. In the underworld he is immersed in water up to his neck while tree branches bearing luscious fruit hang above him. When he bends to drink the water it drains away, and when he reaches to pluck the fruit it moves beyond his reach. Hence the word “tantalize.” See also Oration 39.5 and my first note on the paragraph. 95 Matt 21.31. 96 Matt 11.12. 97 Prov 1.11. 98 Ps 94.1. 99 Mic 4.2. 100 Matt 11.28. 101 John 14.31. 102 Lam 4.7. 103 John 20.3–4. 104 Rom 13.
