148:1
Non per hoc minuit æqualitatem Filii Dei, quod filios hominis obedivit. Quomodo enim. non obediret Patri, qui subditus erat matri ? dicente evangelista de parentibus ejus: Et venit Nazareth, et erat subditus illis (Luc. II, 51). Sic enim factus est, dicente Apostolo, obediens usque ad mortem (Philipp. II, 8), sicut ipse Dominus dixit, Tristis esi anima mea usque ad mortem (Matth. xxvi, 38).
He did not thereby diminish the equality of the Son of God, in that He obeyed the sons of men. For how should He not obey the Father, who was subject to His mother? as the Evangelist says of His parents: «And He came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them» (Luke 2:51). For thus, as the Apostle says, He became «obedient even unto death» (Phil. 2:8), just as the Lord Himself said, «My soul is sorrowful even unto death» (Matt. 26:38).
祂順服了人的兒女，並未因此減損神之子的同等性。因為那順服於母親的祂，怎能不順服父呢？正如福音史家論及祂的父母所說：「祂就同他們下去，回到拿撒勒，並且順從他們」（路二51）。因為，正如使徒所言，祂成為「順服以至於死」（腓二8），正如主自己所說：「我心裡甚是憂傷，幾乎要死」（太二十六38）。
