Just as the Father is said to have made all things, though he makes all things through the Son, so he is also said to hand all things over to the Son while himself having power, ruling the universe through him, and being with him. And even if, as man, he is said economically to receive authority — since human nature is not of itself master — that too is not unreasonable (Matthew 11:27).
Greek
Ὥσπερ οὖν ὁ πατὴρ λέγεται πεποιηκέναι τὰ πάντα, καίπερ διὰ τοῦ υἱοῦ πάντα ποιῶν, οὕτω καὶ λέγεται τῷ υἱῷ πάντα παραδιδόναι αὐτὸν ἔχων δύναμιν καὶ δι' αὐτοῦ κατάρχων τῶν ὅλων καὶ συνὼν αὐτῷ. πλὴν εἰ καὶ ὡς ἄνθρωπος ἐξουσίαν λαμβάνειν οἰκονομικῶς λέγεται ὡς μὴ πεφυκυίας ἀνθρώπου φύσεως δεσπόζειν, οὐδὲ τοῦτο ἔξω τοῦ εἰκότος.
