Text In Ezram et Neemiam libri III (725 - 731) Bede
Quotation Recte inquiunt, stabat satan a dextris illius et a sinistris ut aduersaretur ei, quia uera erat accusatio eo quod et ipse cum ceteris alienigenam accepisset uxorem. Quod autem dicitur quia iesus erat indutus uestibus sordibus tripliciter interpretatur uel ob coniugium illicitum uel ob peccata populi uel propter squalorem captiuitatis.
Translation It is appropriate that they say, Satan was standing at his right side and on his left to accuse him, for the accusation was true because he too had taken a foreign wife as had the others. Now the words Jeshua was dressed in filthy clothes can be interpreted in three ways: they were filthy either because of illicit marriage, or because of the sins of the people, or because of the impurity of the captivity. (Trans. DeGregorio, p. 148)
