... be either acknowledged or unknown without the other. “He that sent me,” says He, “is true; and I am telling the world those things which I have heard of Him.” And the Scripture narrative goes on to explain in an exoteric manner, that “they understood not that He spake to them concerning the Father,” although they ought certainly to have known that the Father’s words were uttered in the Son, because they read in Jeremiah, “And the Lord said to me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth;”[Jeremiah 1:9] and again in Isaiah, “The Lord hath given to me the tongue of learning that I should understand when to speak a word in season.” In accordance with which, Christ Himself says: “Then shall ye know that I am He and that I am saying nothing of ...
