Cyril of Alexandria: Fragments on Matthew · §126

Matthew 11:27

Just as the Father is said to have made all things, though he makes all things through the Son, so he is also said to hand all things over to the Son while himself having power, ruling the universe through him, and being with him. And even if, as man, he is said economically to receive authority — since human nature is not of itself master — that too is not unreasonable.

Greek

Πρὸς τοὺς ἐχθροὺς τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ φίλους τοῦ σατανᾶ οὐ δεῖ ἔχειν φιλίαν.
