Moreover, the blessed Paul the Apostle says, He became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross Phil. ii. 8.. But obedience is subjection of the real will, not of the unreal will. For that which is irrational is not said to be obedient or disobedient Max., ut supr.. But the Lord having become obedient to the Father, became so not as God but as man. For as God He is not said to be obedient or disobedient. For these things are of the things that are under one’s hand τῶν ὑπὸ χεῖρα γὰρ ταῦτα., as the inspired Gregorius said Orat. 36, some distance from the beginning.. Wherefore, then, Christ is endowed with volition as man.
