Chapter XVI.—These Things Hidden Justly from the
Wise.
“And do not say He acted impiously towards
the wise in hiding these things from them. Far be such a
supposition from us. For He did not act impiously; but since they
hid the knowledge of the kingdom,1389 and
neither themselves entered nor allowed those who wished to enter, on
this account, and justly, inasmuch as they hid the ways from those who
wished, were in like manner the secrets hidden from them, in order that
they themselves might experience what they had done to others, and with
what measure they had measured, an equal measure might be meted out to
them.1390 For to him who is worthy to know, is
due that which he does not know; but from him who is not worthy, even
should he seem to have any thing it is taken away,1391 even if he be wise in other matters; and
it is given to the worthy, even should they be babes as far as the
times of their discipleship are concerned.
