Augustine of Hippo, on John 5:21

“For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and giveth life: so the Son also giveth life to whom he will.”

“(iv. de Trin. c. 28. [xx.]) It is not, however, as being born of the Father, that the Son is said to be sent, but from His appearing in this world, as the Word made flesh; as He says, I went forth from the Father, and am come into the world: (John 16:28) or from His being received into our minds individually, as we readl, Send her, that she may be with me, and may labour with me.”
