All such desires are cut short by the statement: the Word became flesh. It is in his sheer humanity that he is the Revealer. True, his own also see his δ_ξα (v.14b); indeed if it were not to be seen, there would be no grounds for speaking of revelation. But this is the paradox which runs through the whole gospel: the δ_ξα is not to be seen alongside the _ά_ξ as through a window; it is to be seen in the _ά_ξ and nowhere else. If man wishes to see the δ_ξα, then it is on the _ά_ξ that he must concentrate his attention, without allowing himself to fall victim to appearances. The revelation is present in a peculiar hiddenness.
