- Micah 4:4
And each man will sit under his own vine and under his own fig tree, with no one to frighten him. For the mouth of the LORD of Hosts has spoken.
Commentary on Micah 4:42 voices
However, since here in Genesis we read that paradise was planted by God in the East, and there the man whom God formed was placed; we can now find the author of this paradise. For who else could have created paradise but the all-powerful God, who spoke and things came into being, never needing those things which he desired to be generated? Therefore, he himself planted the paradise of which Wisdom says: Every planting that my Father has not planted will be rooted up. Good planting of angels, good saints.
Ambrose of Milan· On Paradise, 397Patristic
(Chapter IV - Verses 1 onwards) And it shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and it shall be lifted up above the hills; and peoples shall flow to it, and many nations shall come, and say: 'Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths.'
Jerome· Commentary on Micah, 420Patristic
- Micah 4:5
Though each of the peoples may walk in the name of his god, yet we will walk in the name of the LORD our God forever and ever.
Commentary on Micah 4:52 voices
(Chapter IV - Verses 1 onwards) And it shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and it shall be lifted up above the hills; and peoples shall flow to it, and many nations shall come, and say: 'Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths.'
Jerome· Commentary on Micah, 420Patristic
They who are eager to go up into the mountain of the Lord and wish to learn thoroughly his ways promise a ready obedience, and they receive in themselves the glories of the life in Christ and undertake with their whole strength to be earnest in all holiness.
Cyril of Alexandria· COMMENTARY ON MICAH 2:4.5, 444Patristic
- Mark 9:38–40
John said to Him, “Teacher, we saw someone else driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not accompany us.”
Commentary on Mark 9:38–401 voice
(ubi sup.) John, loving the Lord with eminent devotion, thought that He who performed an office to which He had no right was to be excluded from the benefit of it. Wherefore it is said, And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.
Bede· Catena Aurea by Aquinas, 735Patristic
- Luke 9:49
“Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not accompany us.”
Commentary on Luke 9:492 voices
But we ought to consider not so much the worker of the miracles, as the grace which was in him, who, by the power of Christ, performed miracles. But what if there should be both those which be numbered together with the Apostles, and those who are crowned with the grace of Christ; there are many diversities in Christ's gifts.
Cyril of Alexandria· Catena Aurea by Aquinas, 444Patristic
And John answered and said, Master,.... The Syriac and Persic versions read, "our Master": we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and we forbad him; See Gill on Mar 9:38. Because he followeth not with us; the Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions read, "because he followeth not thee with us"; did not join in company with them, and follow Christ along with them, and as they did.
John Gill· Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)Reformed
- Luke 9:50
“Do not stop him,” Jesus replied, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”
Commentary on Luke 9:502 voices
But we ought to consider not so much the worker of the miracles, as the grace which was in him, who, by the power of Christ, performed miracles. But what if there should be both those which be numbered together with the Apostles, and those who are crowned with the grace of Christ; there are many diversities in Christ's gifts.
Cyril of Alexandria· Catena Aurea by Aquinas, 444Patristic
Now John is not blamed, because he did this from love, but he is taught to know the difference between the strong and the weak. And therefore our Lord though He rewards the stronger, yet does not exclude the weak; as it follows, And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not, for he that is not against you is for you. True, O Lord. For both Joseph and Nicodemus, through fear Thy secret disciples, when the time came, did not refuse their offices.
Ambrose of Milan· Catena Aurea by Aquinas, 397Patristic
- Acts 17:11
Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true.
Commentary on Acts 17:112 voices
More strength will be given you, and the intelligence of the heart will be effected more and more, as you examine more fully the Scriptures, old and new, and read through the complete volumes of the spiritual books. For now we have filled a small measure from the divine fountains, which in the meantime we would send to you. You will be able to drink more plentifully, and to be more abundantly satisfied, if you also will approach to drink together with us at the same springs of the divine fulness.
Cyprian· Treatise XII Three Books of Testimonies Against the Jews, 258Patristic
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica,....

- Acts 28:31
Boldly and freely he proclaimed the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ.
Commentary on Acts 28:312 voices
And Luke, who wrote the Acts of the Apostles, brought his history to a close at this point, after stating that Paul spent two whole years at Rome as a prisoner at large and preached the word of God without restraint. Thus after he had made his defense it is said that the apostle was sent again upon the ministry of preaching and that upon coming to the same city a second time he suffered martyrdom. In this imprisonment [Paul] wrote his second epistle to Timothy, in which he mentions his first defense and his impending death.
Eusebius of Caesarea· ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 2.22.1-8, 339Patristic
Paul did not act like that Diogenes who dressed in rags and lived in a barrel, who amazed many with things in which they had no need whatsoever, yet brought benefit to no one. Paul did nothing of the sort, because he did not turn …
Theophylact of Ohrid· Commentary on Acts, 1107Patristic
- Romans 14:1
Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on his opinions.
Commentary on Romans 14:11 voice
Now him that is weak in faith receive, not in disputes over thoughts. For one believes that he may eat all things; but he who is weak, let him eat vegetables. In the passages above too the Apostle made mention of weakness of faith, where he says of Abraham: When he was nearly a hundred years old, he was not weakened in faith. Concerning that weakness of faith we have set forth, in those places, such things as could occur to us.
Origen of Alexandria· COMMENTARY ON THE EPISTLE TO THE ROMANS, 253Patristic
- 1 Corinthians 10:28–32
But if someone tells you, “This food was offered to idols,” then do not eat it, for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience—
Commentary on 1 Corinthians 10:28–321 voice
If the creature is defiled by a mere word, as the apostle teaches, "But if any one say, This is offered in sacrifice to idols, you must not touch it," much more when it is polluted by the dress, and rites, and pomp of what is offered to the gods.
Tertullian· De Corona, 220Patristic
