268. If Christ in one place, ('John' xiv.
28,) says, 'My Father is greater than I'; he must be understood of his relation to the Father as his Son, born of a woman. I do not see the necessity of this: does not Christ say, 'My Father and I will come and we will dwell in you ?' Nay, I dare confidently affirm that in no one passage of St.John's Gospel is our Lord declared in any special sense the Son of the First Person of the Trinity in reference to his birth from a woman.
And remember it is from St.John's Gospel that the words are cited.
So too the answer to Philip ought to be interpreted by ch.i.18.of the same Gospel. Ib.p.
276. I confess I do not agree with Skelton's interpretation of any of these texts entirely.
