... when “He had increased”—just as the same John used to fore-announce “that it was needful” that “He should increase and himself decrease” —the whole work of the forerunner passed over, together with his spirit itself, unto the Lord. Therefore, after what form of words John taught to pray is not extant, because earthly things have given place to heavenly. “He who is from the earth,” says John, “speaketh earthly things; and He who is here from the heavens speaketh those things which He hath seen.”[John 3:31-32] And what is the Lord Christ’s—as this method of praying is— that is not heavenly? And so, blessed brethren, let us consider His heavenly wisdom: first, touching the precept of praying secretly, whereby He exacted man’s faith, ...

... received of my Father.” Now who is it who says that He can lay down His life, or can Himself recover His life again, because He has received it of His Father?

... I am one sent before him. And he that hath a bride is a bridegroom: and the friend of the bridegroom is he that standeth and listeneth to him, and rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Lo now, behold, [13, 14] [Arabic, p. 23] my joy becometh complete. And he must increase and I decrease. For he that is come from above is higher than everything; and he that is of the earth, of the earth he is, and of the earth he speaketh; and he that came down from heaven is [15] higher than all.[John 3:32] And he beareth witness of what he hath seen and heard: and no man [16] receiveth his witness. And he that hath received his witness hath asserted that he is [17] truly God. And he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: God gave [18] not the ...
