Chapter IV.—It
is Asserted that Christ’s Teaching is Different from
Peter’s.
“‘And that he does not really believe
even the doctrines proclaimed by his teacher is evident, for he
proclaims doctrines opposite to his.1318

chapters are peculiar to the Homilies.—R.] | For
he said to some one, as I learn,1319
“Call
me not good, for the good is one.” Now in speaking of the
good one, he no longer speaks of that just one,1320

whom the Scriptures proclaim, who kills and makes alive,—kills
those who sin, and makes alive those who live according to His
will. But that he did not really call Him who is the framer of
the world good, is plain to any one who can reflect. For the
framer of the world was known to Adam whom He had made, and to Enoch
who pleased Him, and to Noah who was seen to be just by Him; likewise
to Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob; also to Moses, and the people, and
the whole world. But Jesus, the teacher of Peter himself, came and
said,1321

Son, as no one knoweth1322

except the Father, and those to whom the Son may wish to reveal
Him.” If, then, it was the Son himself who was present, it
was from the time of his appearance that he began to reveal to those to
whom he wished, Him who was unknown to all. And thus the Father
was unknown to all who lived before him, and could not thus be He who
was known to all.
