145. And how should He not be a master Who speaks what He wills, and commands what He wills, as the Father commands and the Son commands? For as Paul heard the voice saying to him, “I am Jesus, Whom thou persecutest,” Acts ix. 5. so, too, the Spirit forbade Paul and Silas to go into Bithynia. And as the Father spake through the prophets, so, too, Agabus says concerning the Spirit: “Thus saith the Holy Spirit, Thus shall the Jews in Jerusalem bind the man, whose is this girdle.” Acts xxi. 11. And as Wisdom sent the apostles, saying, “Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel,” S. Mark xvi. 15. so, too, the Holy Spirit says: “Separate Me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.” Acts xiii. 2. And so being sent forth by the Holy Spirit, as the Scripture points out farther on, they were distinguished in nothing from the other apostles, as though they were sent in one way by God the Father, in another way by Spirit.
