Further, of those referring to the period after
the Resurrection that are suitable to man there are different
modes. For some did actually take place, yet not according to
nature κατὰ
θύσιν, but according to
dispensation, in order to confirm the fact that the very body, which
suffered, rose again; such are the weals, the eating and the drinking
after the resurrection. Others took place actually and naturally,
as changing from place to place without trouble and passing in through
closed gates. Others have the character of simulation κατὰ
προσποίησιν, as, He made as though He would have
gone further St. Luke xxiv. 28.. Others are
appropriate to the double nature, as, I ascend unto My Father and
your Father, and My God and your God St. John xx. 17., and The King of Glory shall come
in Ps. xxiv. 7., and He sat
down on the right hand of the majesty on High Heb. i. 3.. Finally others are to be understood
as though He were ranking Himself with us, in the manner of separation
in pure thought, as, My God and your God St. John xx. 17..
