Commentarii in evangelium Joannis (lib. 19, 20, 28, 32)

κατὰ γὰρ ἡμᾶς ἔγνω κύριος τοὺς ὄντας αὐτοῦ ἀνακραθεὶς αὐτοῖς καὶ μεταδεδωκὼς αὐτοῖς τῆς ἑαυτοῦ θειότητος καὶ ἀνειληφὼς αὐτούς, ὡς ἡ τοῦ εὐαγγελίου λέξις φησίν, εἰς τὴν ἑαυτοῦ χεῖρα, ἐν τῇ χειρὶ τοῦ πατρὸς ὄντων τῶν εἰς τὸν σωτῆρα πεπιστευκότων· διὸ καὶ εἰ μὴ πέσοιεν ἀπ’ αὐτῆς ἑαυτοὺς μακρύνοντες ἀπὸ τῆς χειρὸς τοῦ θεοῦ, οὐχ ἁρπαγήσονται· οὐδεὶς γὰρ ἁρπάζει ἐκ τῆς χειρὸς τοῦ πατρός.
