Chapter XII.—The meek reply of
Christ.
But the Lord is long-suffering, and does not reduce to
nothing him who in his ignorance dares [to utter] such words, but meekly
replies, “Get thee hence, Satan.”1351
He does not say, “Get thee behind Me,” for it is not
possible that he should be converted; but, “Begone, Satan,”
to the course which thou hast chosen. “Begone” to those
things to which, through thy malevolence, thou hast been called. For I
know Who I am, and by Whom I have been sent, and Whom it behoves Me to
worship. For “thou shall worship the Lord thy God, and Him only
shalt thou serve.”1352
I know the one [God]; I am acquainted with the only [Lord] from
whom thou hast become an apostate. I am not an enemy of God; I
acknowledge His pre-eminence; I know the Father, who is the author of my
generation.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
