Commentary

Galatians 1:1

Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)

We are clearly given to understand that Jesus Christ was not a [mere] man but was of divine nature.… Because he knew him to be of a more sublime nature, he therefore said that he was not appointed by a man.

APOLOGY FOR ORIGEN

Galatians 1:12

For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Therefore he shows plainly that Jesus was not a [mere] man; and if he is not a man then without doubt he is God.
