Augustine of Hippo, on Luke 24:41
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
Luke 24:41 · Douay-Rheims
“But while they yet believed not, and wondered for joy, he said: Have you any thing to eat?”
On this verse:
“(de Con. Ev. lib. i. c. 11.) Let those then who dream that Christ could have done such things by magical arts, and by the same art have consecrated His name to the nations to be converted to Him, consider whether He could by magical arts fill the Prophets with the Divine Spirit before He was born. For neither supposing that He caused Himself to be worshipped when dead, was He a magician before He was born, to whom one nation was assigned to prophesy His coming.”
