Luke x. 22.
You may believe Him, if He is the Christ of the Creator to whom all things belong; because the Creator has not delivered to a Son who is less than Himself all things, which He created by4491 4491 Per.
Him, that is to say, by His Word. If, on the contrary, he is the notorious stranger,4492 4492 ἐπερχόμενος ille; on which see above, chap. xxiii. p. 385.
what are the “all things” which have been delivered to him by the Father? Are they the Creator’s? Then the things which the Father delivered to the Son are good, and the Creator is therefore good, since all His “things” are good; whereas he4493 4493 Marcion’s god.
is no longer good who has invaded another’s good (domains) to deliver it to his son, thus teaching robbery4494 4494 Alieno abstinere.
of another’s goods. Surely he must be a most mendacious being, who had no other means of enriching his son than by helping himself to another’s property! Or else,4495 4495 Aut si.
if nothing of the Creator’s has been delivered to him by the Father, by what right4496 4496 Ecquomodo.
does he claim for himself (authority over) man? Or again, if man has been delivered to him, and man alone, then man is not “all things.” But Scripture clearly says that a transfer of all things has been made to the Son. If, however, you should interpret this “all” of the whole human race, that is, all nations, then the delivery of even these to the Son is within the purpose of the Creator:4497 4497 Creatoris est.
“I will give Thee the heathen for Thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for Thy possession.”4498 4498

Luke x. 22.
And so it was an unknown god that Christ preached! And other heretics, too, prop themselves up by this passage; alleging in opposition to it that the Creator was known to all, both to Israel by familiar intercourse, and to the Gentiles by nature. Well, how is it He Himself testifies that He was not known to Israel? “But Israel doth not know me, and my people doth not consider me;”4500 4500
