John Calvin on Christ's divine and human natures:
'For we know that in Christ the two natures were
united into one person in such a manner that each retained its own properties;
and more especially the divine nature was in a state of repose, and did not at
all exert itself, whenever it was necessary that the human nature should act
separately, according to what was peculiar to itself, in discharging the office
of mediator. There would be no impropriety, therefore in saying that Christ,
who knew all things (John 21:17), was ignorant of something in respect of his
perception as a man; for otherwise he could not have been liable to grief and
anxiety, and could not have been like us (Hebrews 2:17).'
