ACC ~ John 7 v17

THOSE WHO DO THE FATHER’S WILL KNOW HIS TEACHING

CYRIL OF ALEXANDRIA: He tells them, You will fully know that “my doctrine” comes from God the Father when you choose to follow his will rather than your own…. He justly accuses them because they unreasonably mock what he teaches, even though God the Father consents and agrees with what he is teaching, and (what is also true) even co-teaches and co-interprets [with Jesus]… No person of sound mind would ever think that Jesus here casts aspersions on his own words. Rather, he is saying that his words will never be anything other than in agreement with the will of God the Father. For the Father speaks by his own Word and Wisdom and offspring. But that [offspring] in no way speaks differently from the [Father]. How could it? COMMENTARY ON THE GOSPEL OF JOHN 4.5. [1]
