Do we then deem it any great and wonderful thing for the Maker of all things to raise
up again those that have piously served Him in the assurance of a good faith, when even by
a bird He shows us the mightiness of His power to fulfil His promise?104 For [the Scripture]
saith in a certain place, “Thou shalt raise me up, and I shall confess unto Thee;”105 and
again, “I laid me down, and slept; I awaked, because Thou art with me;”106 and again, Job
says, “Thou shalt raise up this flesh of mine, which has suffered all these things.”107
