Chapter
XLVII.—Simon’s Vaunt.
“I am the first power, who am always, and
without beginning.699
699 [Compare with this
chapter book ii. 9, 14; Homily II. 32.—R.] | But having
entered the womb of Rachel, I was born of her as a man, that I might be
visible to men. I have flown through the air; I have been mixed
with fire, and been made one body with it; I have made statues to move;
I have animated lifeless things; I have made stones bread; I have flown
from mountain to mountain; I have moved from place to place, upheld by
angels’ hands, and have lighted on the earth. Not only have
I done these things; but even now I am able to do them, that by facts I
may prove to all, that I am the Son of God, enduring to eternity, and
that I can make those who believe on me endure in like manner for
ever. But your words are all vain; nor can you perform any real
works such as I have now mentioned, as he also who sent you is a magician, who yet
could not deliver himself from the suffering of the
cross.”
