Then said Jesus again unto them,
I go my way, and you shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: where I go, you cannot come.

Theophilus of Antioch
AD 184
He shows here that He will rise again in glory, and sit at the right hand of God.
I affect nothing worldly, nothing earthly: I could never come to such madness as to kill Myself. Apollinarius, however, falsely infers from these words, that our Lord's body was not of this world, but came down from heaven. Did the Apostles then, to whom our Lord says below, You are not of this world, derive all of them their bodies from heaven? In saying then, 1 am not of this world, He must be understood to mean, I am not of the number of you, who mind earthly things.
