Now for this cause also he did not immediately, upon his coming, accomplish his sacrifice on behalf of all, by offering his body to death and raising it again, for by this means he would have made himself invisible.

But he made himself visible enough by what he did, abiding in it and doing such works and showing such signs, as made him known no longer as man, but as God the Word, for by his becoming man the Saviour was to accomplish both works of love.

first in putting away death from us and renewing us again secondly being unseen and invisible in manifesting and making himself known by his works to be the word of the father and the ruler and king of the universe

for he was not, as might be imagined, circumscribed in the body, nor, while present in the body, was he absent elsewhere, nor, while he moved the body, was the universe left void of his working and providence.

But, thing most marvellous, word as he was, so far from being contained by anything, he rather contained all things himself, and, just as while present in the whole of creation, he is at once distinct in being from the universe, and present in all things by his own power,

giving order to all things and over all and in all revealing his providence and giving life to each thing and all things including the whole without being included but being in his own father alone wholly and in every respect thus even while present in a human body and himself quickening it he was without inconsistency quickening the universe as well and was in every process of nature and was outside the whole and while known from the body by his works

it was none the less manifest from the working of the universe as well now it is the function of soul to behold even what is outside its own body by acts of thought without however working outside its own body or moving by its presence things remote from the body

Never, that is, does a man, by thinking of things at a distance, by that fact either move or displace them, nor, if a man were to sit in his own house and reason about heavenly bodies, would he by that fact either move the sun or make the heavens revolve.

But he sees that they move and have their being without being actually able to influence them.

Now the word of God in his man's nature was not like that, for he was not bound to his body, but rather was himself wielding it, so that he was not only in it, but was actually in everything, and while external to the universe, abode in his Father only.

This was the wonderful thing, that he was at once walking as man, and as the word was quickening all things, and as the Son was dwelling with his Father.

so that not even when the virgin bore him did he suffer any change nor by being in the body was his glory dulled but on the contrary he sanctified the body also for not even by being in the universe does he share in its nature but all things on the contrary are quickened and sustained by him

for if the sun too which was made by him and which we see as it revolves in the heavens is not defiled by touching the bodies upon earth nor is it put out by darkness but on the contrary itself illuminates and cleanses them also much less was the all-holy word of god maker and lord also of the sun defiled by being made known in the body on the contrary being incorruptible he quickened and cleansed the body also which was in itself mortal

who did for so it says no sin neither was guile found in his mouth accordingly when inspired writers on this matter speak of him as eating and being born understand that the body as body was born and sustained with food corresponding to its nature while god the word himself who was united with the body while ordering all things also by the works he did in the body showed himself to be not man but god the word

but these things are said of him because the actual body which ate was born and suffered belonged to none other but to the lord and because having become man it was proper for these things to be predicated of him as man to show him to have a body in truth and not in seeming but just as from these things he was known to be bodily present so from the works he did in the body he made himself known to be son of god whence also he cried to the unbelieving jews

if i do not the works of my father believe me not but if i do them though ye believe me not believe my works that ye may know and understand that the father is in me and i in the father for just as though invisible he is known through the works of creation so having become man and being in the body unseen it may be known from his works that he who can do these is no man but the power and word of god

for his charging evil spirits and their being driven forth this deed is not of man but of god or who that saw him healing the diseases to which the human race is subject can still think him man and not god for he cleansed lepers made lame men to walk opened the hearing of deaf men made blind men to see again and in a word drove away from men all diseases and infirmities from which acts it was possible even for the most ordinary observer to see his godhead

for who that saw him give back what was deficient to men born lacking and open the eyes of the man born blind from his birth would have failed to perceive that the nature of men was subject to him and that he was its artificer and maker

for he that gave back that which the man from his birth had not must be it is surely evident the lord also of men's natural birth therefore even to begin with when he was descending to us he fashioned his body for himself from a virgin thus to afford to all no small proof of his godhead in that he who formed this is also maker of everything else as well

for who seeing a body proceeding forth from a virgin alone without man can fail to infer that he who appears in it is maker and lord of other bodies also or who seeing the substance of water changed and transformed into wine fails to perceive that he who did this is lord and creator of the substance of all waters
