Chapter X.
He collects more witnesses of the same fact.
But why am I lingering so
long over one instance, as if many were wanting? For even then how
could the fact that God was to come in the flesh escape the knowledge
of men, when the Prophet said openly as if to all mankind of Him:
“Behold your God;” and elsewhere: “Behold our
God.” And this: “God the mighty, the Father of the world to
come, the Prince of Peace;” and: “of His kingdom there
shall be no end.”2617
| 2617 Isa. xl. 9; xxv. 9; ix. 6, 7. | But also when
He had already come, could the fact of His having come escape the
knowledge of those who openly confessed that He had come? Was Peter
ignorant of the coming of God, when he said, “Thou art the
Christ, the Son of the living God?”2618
Did not Martha know what she was saying
or whom she believed in, when she said, “Yea, Lord, I have
believed that Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God, who art
come into this world?”2619
And all those
men, who sought from Him the cure of their sicknesses, or the
restoration of their limbs, or the life of their dead, did they ask
these things from man’s weakness, or from God’s
omnipotence?E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
