English, p.105

Then he went on with what he was saying: 'Just as you see that my clothing is completely unmarked by these burning coals, so is my body undefiled by intercourse with woman.' They still would not believe him, but refused to accept what be had said. He was dragged away and reviled, and they expelled him from their city, so that the saying of Saint Martin might be fulfilled: 'Know this, that during your tenure of the episcopate you will suffer much ill-treatment.'

NB: Similar to "so that the words of the prophets might be fulfilled"


Deutsch, S.59

Da sprach er: ,,Ihr seht, dies Kleid ist nicht verletzt vom Feuer, und so ist auch mein Leib nicht befleckt durch die Umarmung eines Weibes"; sie aber glaubten ihm nicht, sondern widersprachen ihm, rissen ihn fort, schmähten und stießen ihn aus der Stadt, auf daß das Wort des Heiligen erfüllt würde: ,,Wisse, viel Leiden wirst du als Bischof erdulden."


Latin, p.58 (38)

Illo quoque sie prosequente: ,Sicut istud vestimentum ab his ignibus videtis inlesum, ita et corpus meum a tactu muliebris coiti est inpollutum', illis vero non credentibus, sed contradicentibus, trahitur, calumniatur, eicitur, ut sermo sancti adimpleretur: ,Noveris, te in episcopatu multa adversa passurum'.


Notes:

- fulfilling prophecies
