III.120 From a Homily on the Lord’s Paschal Supper, ibid., p. 293. Luke xxii. 16.
St. Hippolytus, Bishop and Martyr, in his Homily on the Paschal Supper.
He was altogether121 ὅλος. in all, and everywhere; and though He filleth the universe up to all the principalities of the air, He stripped Himself again. And for a brief space He cries that the cup might pass from Him, with a view to show truly that He was also man.122 καὶ ἄνθρωπος, also man. See Grabe, Bull’s Defens. Fid. Nic., p. 103. But remembering, too, the purpose for which He was sent, He fulfils the dispensation (economy) for which He was sent, and exclaims, “Father, not my will,”123 Luke xxii. 42. and, “The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”124 Matt. xxvi. 41.
