Chapter VI.
But let it be granted that Jesus observed all the
Jewish usages, including even their sacrificial observances, what does
that avail to prevent our recognising Him as the Son of God?
Jesus, then, is the Son of God, who gave the law and the prophets; and
we, who belong to the Church, do not transgress the law, but have
escaped the mythologizings3226
of the Jews, and
have our minds chastened and educated by the mystical contemplation of
the law and the prophets. For the prophets themselves, as not
resting the sense of these words in the plain history which they
relate, nor in the legal enactments taken according to the word and
letter, express themselves somewhere, when about to relate histories,
in words like this, “I will open my mouth in parables, I will
utter hard sayings of old;”3227
and in another
place, when offering up a prayer regarding the law as being obscure,
and needing divine help for its comprehension, they offer up this
prayer, “Open Thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things
out of Thy law.”3228
