Cyril of Alexandria · Comentário Patrístico (catena)

Salmos 105:15

You are right to conclude that he [Jesus] is called Christ only because of the anointing, just as an apostle is so called because of his apostolic function and an angel from his office as messenger. Names like these clearly indicate certain functions rather than individual realities or specific persons. Even the prophets are called Christs, as it is sung in the Psalms: "Do not touch my Christs, and do not harm my prophets" The prophet Habbakuk also said, "You came forth for the salvation of your people, to save your Christs." But tell me this: Is it not true that even they would admit that there is only one Christ and Son, who is the Lord made man, the Only Begotten of God made flesh? — ON THE UNITY OF CHRIST
