And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why ask you thus after my name, seeing it is wonderful?
All Commentaries on Judges 13:18 Go To Judges 13
Gregory of Nyssa
AD 394
And so, too, the word that was spoken to Manoah shows the fact that the Divinity is not comprehensible by the significance of his name, because, when Manoah asks to know his name, that when the promise has come actually to pass, he may by name glorify his benefactor, he says to him, “Why do you ask this? It also is wonderful”; so that by this we learn that there is one name significant of the divine nature—the wonder, namely, that arises unspeakably in our hearts concerning it.
