ACC ~ John 4 v32

JESUS REPLENISHES HIMSELF FROM THE FATHER

ORIGEN: And it is not out of place to say that not only do people and angels need spiritual food, but so too does the Christ of God. For, if I may put it this way, he is always replenishing himself from the Father, who alone is without need and sufficient in himself. Now the common person who is being taught receives his foods from the disciples of Jesus who are commanded to distribute food to the crowds, [1] and Jesus’ disciples receive their food from Jesus himself…. The Son of God, however, receives his food from the Father alone, without the intervention of any other being. COMMENTARY ON THE GOSPEL OF JOHN 13.219-220. [2]
