“This is my beloved Son,” yes. none other than the One who himself becomes hungry, yet feeds countless numbers. He is my son who himself grows weary, yet gives rest to the weary. He has no place to lay his head, yet bears up all things in his hand. He suffers, yet heals sufferings. He is beaten, yet heals confers liberty upon the world.”
Hippolytus of Rome (c. 170 – c. 236) Discourse on the Holy Theophany 7. TLG 2115.026, 7.5-6, 9-10, 12-20.
