Matt. xxiv.
36. R.V. in this
passage inserts “Neither the Son,” on the authority
of א, B. D.
Plainly St. Basil knew no such difference of reading. On
the general view taken by the Fathers on the self-limitation of
the Saviour, cf. C. Gore’s Bampton Lectures
(vi. p. 163, and notes 48 and 49, p. 267).
