Yet Augustine explains (''Answer to Maximinus the Arian'' [427-428 AD], Book 2, ch. 20): "When Christ says 'Not what I will, but what Thou wilt', He shows Himself to have willed something else than did His Father; and this could only have been by His human heart, since He did not transfigure our weakness into His Divine but into His human will."<ref>Aquinas, Thomas (1267-1274).
