who also, as Luke says, descended at the day of Pentecost upon the disciples after the Lord's ascension, having power to admit all nations to the entrance of life, and to the opening of the new covenant; from whence also, with one accord in all languages, they uttered praise to God, the Spirit bringing distant tribes to unity, and offering to the Father the first-fruits of all nations.

through which, when Christ was crucified, the principalities-among which, I think, was also the prince of this world-were made a show of and triumphed over before the believing world. Wherefore, when His suffering was at hand he said, "Now the prince of this world has been judged,"[130]

John 16:12 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian The Prescription Against Heretics

John 16:12 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Against Celsus Book II

John 16:14 - NIV, NAB - in A Treatise of Novatian Concerning the Trinity

If Christ was only man, how does He say that the Paraclete "shall take of His, those things which He shall declare? "[117]

John 16:14 - NIV, NAB - in Archelaus Acts of the Disputation with the Heresiarch Manes

For which of us could have hoped that Paul, the persecutor and enemy of the Church, would prove its defender and guardian? Yea, and not that alone, but that he would become also its ruler, the founder and architect of the churches?

John 16:20 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Treatise VII On the Mortality

So many persecutions the soul suffers daily, with so many risks is the heart wearied, and yet it delights to abide here long among the devil's weapons, although it should rather be our craving and wish to hasten to Christ by the aid of a quicker death; as He Himself instructs us, and says, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice; and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy."[11]

And since we have Him as an Advocate with the Father for our sins, let us, when as sinners we petition on behalf of our sins, put forward the words of our Advocate. For since He says, that "whatsoever we shall ask of the Father in His name, He will give us,"[6]

John 16:28 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Praxeas

"[331]

John 16:28 - NIV, NAB - in Hippolytus Dogmatical and Historical Fragments

But let us also look at the subject in hand,-namely, the question, brethren, that in reality the Father's power, which is the Word, came down from heaven, and not the Father Himself. For thus He speaks: "I came forth from the Father, and am come."[274]

John 16:28 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Treatise VII On the Mortality

How great is the advantage of going out of the world, Christ Himself, the Teacher of our salvation and of our good works, shows to us, who, when His disciples were saddened that He said that He was soon to depart, spoke to them, and said, "If ye loved me, ye would surely rejoice because I go to the Father; "[14]

the meaning of these words, When God gives to the tempter permission to persecute us, then we suffer persecution; and when God wishes us to be free from suffering, even in the midst of a world that hates us, we enjoy a wonderful peace, trusting in the protection of Him who said, "Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."[131]

John 16:33 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Treatise VII On the Mortality
