291. Since all divinity is in the Lord, he has all power in heaven and on earth. This he himself tells us in John: "The Father has given all things into the hand of the Son" (John 3:35); again, "The Father has given the Son power over all flesh" (John 17:2); in Matthew, "All things have been delivered to me by the Father" (Matthew 11:27); and again, "All power has been given to me in heaven and on earth" (Matthew 28:18). Divinity is that kind of power.
