167. There is, indeed, a difference of words, not of meaning. For though they said different things, neither was in error, for both the Father is seen in the Son, Who said, “He that seeth Me seeth the Father also,” S. John xiv. 9. and the Son is seen in the Spirit; for as “no man says Lord Jesus, except in the Holy Spirit,” 1 Cor. xii. 3. so Christ is seen not by the eye of flesh, but by the grace of the Spirit. Whence, too, the Scripture says: “Rise, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine upon thee.” Eph. v. 14. And Paul, when he had lost his eyesight, how did he see Christ except in the Spirit? Acts ix. 8. Wherefore the Lord says: “For to this end I have appeared unto thee, to appoint thee a minister and a witness of the things wherein thou hast seen Me, and of the things wherein thou shalt see Me.” Acts xxvi. 16. For the prophets also received the Spirit and saw Christ.
