CHAPTER 16

(d) That the same Lord teaches of another Lord, namely, His Son. (243) 

[Passage quoted, Exod. xx. 2, 5, 7.] 

From the Decalogue.

HERE, too, the Lord Himself teaches in the passage before us about another Lord. For He says: "I am the Lord thy God," and adds: "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God." The second Lord is here mystically instructing His Servant about the Father, that is to say, the God of the Universe. And you could find many other similar instances occurring in Holy Scripture, in which God gave answers as if about another God, and the Lord Himself as if about another Lord.
