'For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ' (2 Cor. 46) 'All things are delievered unto me of my father and no man knoweth the Son, but the father neither knoweth any man the father, save the son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him' (Matt. 1127)." »Eugene Reuweler
