10 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ηλιου καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς τὸν πεντηκόνταρχον καὶ εἰ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ ἐγώ καταβήσεται πῦρ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ καταφάγεταί σε καὶ τοὺς πεντήκοντά σου καὶ κατέβη πῦρ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ κατέφαγεν αὐτὸν καὶ τοὺς πεντήκοντα αὐτοῦ


Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 10. But it is the dictate of the Divine Word to self-love and its combined falsities, that since Divine Truth is from Divine Good, Divine Good is communicated therewith, and being hateful to self-love with its errors, appears to cause torment; and hence the corrupted man is totally vastated as to the will, being consumed, in reality by self-love.
