Abstract

The article touches upon the problem of dependence of Byzantine theology on Western theology on the example of the Christological dispute concerning the Savior’s saying: My Father is more than Me (Jn. 14, 28). The discussion that took place during the reign of Emperor Manuel I Comnenus ended with a Conciliar decision in favor of the Latin version of the interpretation of the passage. The Council of Constantinople, convened in 1166, decided to interpret Jn. 14, 28 as applied to the mankind of Christ. In addition to this exegesis, other interpretations were also adopted, but the main emphasis was placed on the Christological dimension and the interpretations of «mental separation» and «common person» were strongly rejected. The article deals with the question of the influence on the decisions of the Council of the Western theologian Hugo Etherian, who tried to prove that Christ in humanity, even in the glorious state is less than God the Father.
