Ὅτι δὲ καὶ ἄγγελοι καὶ ἀπόστολοι τοῦ θεοῦ λέγονται οἱ ἀγγέλλειν τὰ παρʼ αὐτοῦ ἀποστελλόμενοι προφῆται, ἐν τῷ Ἡσαΐᾳ δεδήλωται. Λέγει γὰρ ἐκεῖ ὁ Ἡσαΐας· Ἀπόστειλόν με. Καὶ ὅτι προφήτης ἰσχυρὸς καὶ μέγας γέγονεν ὁ ἐπονομασθεὶς τῷ Ἰησοῦ ὀνόματι, φανερὸν πᾶσίν ἐστιν.

“And that the prophets who are sent to announce the things from God are called angels and apostles of God is shown in Isaiah. For there Isaiah says, ‘Send me.’ And that he who was given the name of Jesus became a mighty and great prophet is plain to all.
