211. Wherefore at another time also the Lord
Himself when asked by his Apostles (Yes, for they did not understand it
as Arius did, but believed that the Son of God knew the future.
For unless they had believed this, they would never have asked the
question.)—the Lord, I say, when asked when He would restore the
kingdom to Israel, did not say that He did not know, but says:
“It is not for you to know the times or years, which the Father
hath put in His own power.” Acts i. 7. Mark
what He said: It is not for you to know! Read again,
“It is not for you.” “For you,” He said,
not “for Me,” for now He spoke not according to His own
perfection but as was profitable to the human body and our soul.
“For you” therefore He said, not “for
Me.”
