Amphilochius of Iconium39
117

A would not have said, writing in the Gospel, that the Lord says from the cross, "Behold thy son," in such a way that from that day on John took Mary into his own home. How, then, does he say here that she was not present? But there is nothing foreign in this. For just as the Lord is the Truth, so the devil happens to be a liar. For he is a liar, and the father of it; and when he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own. And these things, indeed, regarding the lie.

XIX. Reliqua Amphilochiana excerpta quæ superant. Ex catena in Joannem. B Amphilochii. Not because the Son of Man descended from heaven, but because He who descended, the Son of God, He Himself ascended having become the Son of Man, He said by way of assurance: "No one has ascended into heaven, but He who descended from heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven." For the flesh, after the resurrection, having become impassible and immortal through its communion with God, escaped from passion. For it is honored with the same session, indivisibly with Him. Therefore, Paul also said: "He who descended, He is also the one who ascended above all the heavens, that He might fill all things."

Apud Anastasium in Hodego, cap. 10. Amphilochii. For into one person, just as your holiness also teaches, the two natures have come together; which we confess to exist and to be preserved in Christ immutably and indivisibly.

XX. Ex Elementis Damasceni Rupefucaldinis. Amphilochii. C When the Apostle considered the angels as certain pedagogues or tutors appointed over men, he called them as witnesses.

XXI. Ex iisdem Elementis. Sancti Amphilochii episcopi Iconii. God is so called, because He has placed all things under His own power and protection; or due to *theein* (to run), which is to run, and to move, and to govern, and to give life to all things.

XXII. Ex Euphemio Antiocheno, ap. Photium, Biblioth. cod. CCXXIX, p. 790. D Sanctus quoque Amphilochius Iconii episcopus ita ait: Apparet certe divinos Patres nostros consubstantialem asserere Patri Filium secundum divinitatem, et consubstantialem Matri secundum humanitatem; duplicem quoad essentiam sive naturam, non duplicem quoad personam.
