14. We, however, can easily show that the
words treat of the Son’s action, for the Son Himself indeed
raised His own Body again, as He Himself said: “Destroy
this Temple, and in three days I will raise it again.” S. John ii. 19. And He Himself quickens us together
with His Body: “For as the Father raiseth the dead and
quickeneth them, so also the Son quickeneth Whom He
will.” S. John v. 21. And He
Himself hath granted forgiveness for sins, saying, “Thy sins be
forgiven thee.” S. Luke v. 20. He too
hath nailed the handwriting of the record to His Cross, in that He was
crucified, and suffered in the body. Nor did any divest Himself
of the flesh, save the Son of God, Who invested Himself
therewith. He, therefore, Who hath achieved the work of our
resurrection is plainly pointed out to be very God.
