19. The Lord, then, doth not deny His
goodness—He rebukes this sort of disciple. For when the
scribe said, “Good Master,” the Lord answered, “Why
callest thou Me good?”—which is to say, “It is not
enough to call Him good, Whom thou believest not to be
God.” Not such do I seek to be My disciples—men who
rather consider My manhood and reckon Me a good master, than look to My
Godhead and believe Me to be the good God.
