“And John gave testimony, saying: I saw the Spirit coming down, as a dove from heaven, and he remained upon him.”
On this verse:
“(Tr. vii. in Joan) It was necessary that the Only Son of God should baptize, not an adopted son. Adopted sons are ministers of the Only Son: but though they have the ministration, the Only one alone has the power.”
