Matthew 10:40 Douay-Rheims

He that receiveth you, receiveth me: and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.

Hilary of Poitiers

c. A.D. 310–367 Patristic

These words shew that He has a Mediator’s office, and since He came from God, when He is received by us, through Him God is transfused into us; and by this disposition of grace to have received the Apostles is no other than to have received God; for Christ dwells in them, and God in Christ.
