Saint Quote: Saint Epiphanius of Salamis, Early Church Father

We see that the Savior took the bread in His hand, and when He had given thanks He said: “This is my body....” And we see that it is not equal or similar to either a corporeal image, or the invisible Deity, or the arrangement of the members of the body. For it is of rounded shape and without feeling as far as its power is concerned. But He wanted to say by grace: “This is my body...” and no one should refuse to believe this statement. For he who does not believe that He is truthful, as He Himself has said, cuts himself off from grace and salvation. But what we have heard, that we believe, namely, that it is His body and blood.

– Saint Epiphanius of Salamis
