221. This is what others say, but I—to
return to my former point, where I stated it was written of the
Father: “It may be they will reverence My
Son,”—I think indeed this was written in order that the
Father, as He was speaking of men, might also seem to have spoken with
human feelings. But still more am I inclined to think that the
Son Who went about with men, and lived the life of man, and took upon
Him our flesh, assumed also our feelings; so that after our ignorance
He might say He knew not, though there was not anything He did not
know. For though He seemed to be a man in the reality of His
body, yet was He Life, and Light, and virtue came out of Him, S. Luke vi. 19. to heal the
wounds of the injured by the power of His
Majesty.
