Father And God


Ἀπὸ γαστὸς μητρός μου, Θεός μου εἰ σύ

Πρὸ τῆς ἐνανθρωπήσεως ὁ ̓Ιησοῦς μόνην τὴν πρὸς πατέρα ἔφερεν οἰκειότητα· ην γὰρ αὐτοῦ πατὴρ ὁ θεός, καὶ αὐτὸς υἱὸς θεοῦ. Ἀφ' ου δὲ σὰρξ γενόμενος ἐκ κοιλίας προῆλθεν σχέσιν ἔσχεν τὴν πρὸς τὸν πατέρα, τὴν πρὸς θεόν. διό φησιν· Εἰ καὶ ἀεὶ πατήρ μου τυγχάνεις, ἀλλὰ καὶ θεός μου εἶναι ἤρξω ἐκ κοιλίας μητρός.

'From the womb of my mother, you are my God.' 1

Before the incarnation, Jesus only had relation to His Father, for His Father was God, and He the Son of God. Then made flesh He came from the womb, and He had relation with His Father and with God. That is, 'If indeed my Father you always are, but even my God you have begun to be from the womb of my mother.'
