4. There was in Constantinople a\u00a0monastic physicians\u00a0named Eutyches,\u00a0who was saying that the body of Christ is different from our [bodies] in terms of\u00a0its nature, and that Christ had two natures before the incarnation and after the incarnation one nature.\u00a0 This is\u00a0the doctrine of the Jacobites.\u00a0 This monk Eutyches was the first to formulate such a doctrine.\u00a0 Having heard of this, Eusebius, Bishop of Dorilea, went to him, argued with him,\u00a0set forth\u00a0his arguments and refuted the doctrine.\u00a0 Then Eusebius went to Flavian, Patriarch of Constantinople, spoke of Eutyches, the falsity of his doctrine and of how he had sowed confusion in the doctrine of the population of Constantinople.\u00a0 Flavian, Patriarch of Constantinople, sent for Eutyches, telling him to come to him, and he called a council in Constantinople (17) in which he disputed with him.\u00a0 Eutyches said:\u00a0“If we were to say that Christ has two natures, we would be supporting what\u00a0Nestorius says.\u00a0 We say instead that Christ has only one nature and one person, because he is the result of two natures that existed [as such] before the union.\u00a0 But when he took a body, he has ceased the duality and became one nature and one person.”\u00a0 Flavian, Patriarch of Constantinople, answered him, saying:\u00a0“If, as you argue, the Christ had only one nature, then the nature existing from eternity was made again, and that the\u00a0nature\u00a0that always was\u00a0would be the\u00a0nature that was not.\u00a0 But if it were possible that the\u00a0nature\u00a0that has always been is [also]\u00a0made again, then\u00a0he who is\u00a0standing is also sitting, heat is cold,\u00a0light is\u00a0dark, and so\u00a0we might say\u00a0of other nonsense that can not coexist in a\u00a0one part.”\u00a0 He [= Eutyches] however, refused to withdraw from his doctrine and Flavian, Patriarch of Constantinople excommunicated him, but did not remove him from Constantinople, because he was a\u00a0physician and people needed him.\u00a0 King Theodosius heard the doctrine.\u00a0 Eutyches spoke in his defense before the king Theodosius, saying that Flavian had unfairly excommunicated him, and he asked the king to write to all the patriarchs, [ordering them] to get together and\u00a0to review his case.\u00a0 The king then wrote to Dioscorus, Patriarch of Alexandria, Domnus, Patriarch of Antioch, to Leo, patriarch of Rome and Juvenal, Patriarch of Jerusalem,\u00a0to present themselves together with their bishops in order to examine the case of Eutyches.\u00a0 They gathered together in the city of Ephesus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
