Yea, and in other testimonies also he doth this: as when he saith, \"but when He bringeth in again the First-Begotten into the world, He saith, And let all the Angels of God worship Him. And again, I will be to Him a Father. And of the Angels He saith, Who maketh His angels spirits. And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundations of the earth\": so also here he saith, \"but one in a certain place testified, saying.\" And this very thing (I conceive) is the act of one that conceals himself, and shows that they were well skilled in the Scriptures; his not setting down him who uttered the testimony, but introducing it as familiar and obvious.<br/><i>— Homily on Hebrews 4</i></p><p><b>Oecumenius</b>: \"But there is a certain one who testified somewhere, saying.\" Speaking to those who knew the Scriptures, Paul does not mention the names of those who say: \"What is man?\"<br/><i>— The Pseudo-Oecumenian Catena on Hebrews</i></p><p><b>Oecumenius</b>: \"that you are mindful of him.\" For you have not only brought him into being, but also granted him to be well, and you will continue to be mindful, and you will visit him when he is in a bad state.<br/><i>— The Pseudo-Oecumenian Catena on Hebrews</i></p><p><b>Photios I of Constantinople</b>: Why does he bring up the quote, \"what are human beings that you are mindful of them?\" He purports to prove, from the contrary, the following statement, that Christ is far superior to the angels. \"A little while lower than the angels,\" he brings … up in order to disprove the opposite proposition. He means that he was made lower through the suffering of death, \"we saw him, but he had no form nor beauty.\" Therefore, it was appropriate to say that about the Lord, because he was exalted; again, it was appropriate to exhort them [angels] to \"put everything in subjection under his feet.\"<br/><i>— FRAGMENTS ON THE EPISTLE TO THE Hebrews 2.6-9</i></p><p><b>Tertullian</b>: Gird Thee Thy sword around Thy thigh, most potent in Thy bloom and beauty!\" while the Father withal afterwards, after making Him somewhat lower than angels, \"crowned Him with glory and honour and subjected all things beneath His feet.\" And then shall they \"learn to know Him whom they pierced, and shall beat their breasts tribe by tribe; \" of course because in days bygone they did not know Him when conditionedin the humility of human estate.<br/><i>— An Answer to the Jews</i></p>","source_html_sha256":"6f77d35d4ac215f31047814979f4259aa4f2a2636965a3eb867fa29c443e48d2","source_module":"ECF","source_row_id":6620,"source_url":"https://www.sermonindex.net/commentary/ecf/","text_sha256":"bb2dc24d5fc7d55405c394f7f7f003b373099c5994de29da66868299de49f611","translator":null,"work":null}
