(_b_) Equally inadmissible is the other interpretation by which it was attempted to explain away this text. According to this second view, Christ’s words would mean: The Holy Ghost shall glorify Me because He shall receive of Mine _from My Father_, and shall show it to you. But there is nothing to justify this insertion of the words “from My Father;” on the contrary, the whole context points to the fact that the Holy Ghost is to receive what is the Son’s (of mine) _from the Son Himself_. For since the Holy Ghost in reality glorified the Father and Himself as well as the Son, when we find it here stated that He shall glorify the Son, _because_ He shall receive of Him, the natural inference is, that He receives from Him directly, and not merely through the Father. Besides, when the text distinctly states that the Holy Ghost shall receive of the Son, it is wholly arbitrary and really not an interpretation of the words at all to say that He receives of the Son _through the Father_, and not directly of the Son Himself. Hence the words of this verse plainly mean that the Holy Ghost receives from the Son, and consequently, as we saw above on verse 13, afford a proof that He proceeds from the Son, just as those of xv. 26 prove that He proceeds from the Father. He proceeds, therefore, as our faith professes, Ex Patre _Filioque_. 15. Omnia quaecumque habet 15. All things whatsoever the Pater, mea sunt. Propterea Father hath, are mine. dixi: quia de meo accipiet, et Therefore I said, he shall annuntiabit vobis. receive of mine, and show _it_ to you. 15. *Therefore I said, he shall receive*, &c. The present (λαμβάνει) is the more probable reading, but it is used for the future, so that the Vulgate gives the meaning. This verse is variously connected with the preceding, even by Catholic commentators. We believe that Christ is here proving what He has just said, namely, that the Holy Ghost should receive of Him. The proof is this: All whatsoever the Father hath (except, of course, the relation of Paternity) is the Son’s; but the Father has _spiratio activa_: in other words, the Holy Ghost proceeds from Him, therefore He proceeds from the Son also: “All things whatsoever the Father hath are mine; _therefore_ I said, He shall receive of mine, and shew it to you.” Note that this verse, too, furnishes a clear proof of the procession of the Holy Ghost from the Son, since the Son has all that the Father hath. 16. Modicum, et iam non 16. A little while, and now videbitis me: et iterum you shall not see me: and modicum, et videbitis me: quia again a little while, and you vado ad Patrem? shall see me: because I go to the Father.
