- Ezekiel 1:24
When the creatures moved, I heard the sound of their wings like the roar of many waters, like the voice of the Almighty, like the tumult of an army. When they stood still, they lowered their wings.
Commentary on Ezekiel 1:242 voices
"And I heard the sound of their wings, as the sound of many waters." In sacred speech, peoples are customarily designated by waters. Hence it is said through John: "The waters are peoples." Peoples are designated by waters for this reason: because in life they have sound from the tumult of the flesh, and daily they flow away through the course of mortality. As we have now often said, the wings of the living creatures are the virtues of the saints.
Gregory the Dialogist· Homilies on Ezekiel, Book 1, Homily 8, 604Patristic
(Verse 22 onwards) And the likeness above the heads of the living creatures was like the appearance of a crystal dreadful ice; extended above their heads was what appeared to be a firmament. Under the firmament their wings were straight, one toward another. Each of them had two wings that covered their bodies, and each one had two wings that covered one side. And I heard the sound of the wings, like the sound of many waters, like the sound of the Almighty God.
Jerome· Commentary on Ezekiel, 420Patristic
- Ezekiel 1:28
The appearance of the brilliant light all around Him was like that of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell facedown and heard a voice speaking.
Commentary on Ezekiel 1:282 voices
(Verse 27, 28.) And I saw something like the appearance of electrum, like the appearance of fire within it all around. From the appearance of his loins and upward, I saw something like the appearance of glowing fire all around, like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day. This was the appearance of the splendor of the Lord's glory. When I saw it, I fell facedown and heard a voice speaking. The electrum had the appearance of fire both inside and outside.
Jerome· Commentary on Ezekiel, 420Patristic
It is clear … that Ezekiel saw the cherubim and their course, and the firmament above them and the one seated on the throne. What could be more glorious and exalted than these things?
Origen of Alexandria· COMMENTARY ON THE GOSPEL OF JOHN 6:23, 253Patristic
- Ezekiel 10:5
The sound of the wings of the cherubim could be heard as far as the outer court, like the voice of God Almighty when He speaks.
Commentary on Ezekiel 10:52 voices
(Verses 3 and following) And he entered in my sight. But the cherubim stood at the right side of the house, when the man entered, and the cloud filled the inner courtyard. And the glory of the Lord was lifted up from the cherub to the threshold of the house, and the house was filled with the cloud, and the courtyard was filled with the splendor of the glory of the Lord. And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard up to the outer courtyard, like the voice of God Almighty speaking.
Jerome· Commentary on Ezekiel, 420Patristic
The prophet Ezekiel clearly declares that "cherubim" is the name of the angelic powers that he describes as having appeared to him with wings, according to the pattern in which they are ordered to be deployed here.
Bede· On the Tabernacle 1:5.25:18-21, 735Patristic
- John 5:37
And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form,
Commentary on John 5:371 voice
These considerations were of necessity brought into our present discourse: we deemed it altogether needful that Jesus should be shewn to the readers speaking truth, when He is found saying of His Father, Ye have neither heard His Voice at any time nor seen His shape, and ye have not His Word abiding in you, for Whom HE hath sent, Him YE believe not.
Cyril of Alexandria· Commentary on the Gospel of John, Book 3, 444Patristic
- John 12:28–30
Father, glorify Your name!” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”
Commentary on John 12:28–302 voices
There came therefore a voice out of heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. The Evangelist did not say that it was the Father Who uttered the voice from above, but that the voice came from heaven; in order that no heretics, because they heard that the Father spake, might attempt to say that also the Divine Nature, to wit, the Father, is encompassed with a gross body. Wherefore he speaks indeed of the harmonious voice, but how the voice was brought to pass it is not in our power to say.
Cyril of Alexandria· Commentary on the Gospel of John, Book 8, 444Patristic
Father, glorify thy name,.... The perfections of his nature, particularly his justice and holiness, meaning in himself; by his sufferings and death; intimating hereby, that his Father's glory was what he had in view, and that the securing of that would give him an infinite pleasure amidst all his sorrows. The Arabic version, and Nonnus, read "glorify thy Son", as in Joh 17:1, and the Ethiopic version takes in both, "glorify thy name, and thy Son": and indeed, what glorifies the one, glorifies the other; see Joh 13:

- Acts 7:31
When Moses saw it, he marveled at the sight. As he approached to look more closely, the voice of the Lord came to him:
Commentary on Acts 7:312 voices
And as he came near to observe, the voice of the Lord came: I am the God of your fathers. In the Greek it is written thus: A voice came from heaven saying to him: I am the God of your brothers, remove the sandals …
Bede· Retractions on Acts, 735Patristic
Now he calls the Son of God an angel, just as elsewhere he calls him a man. For he is the angel of great counsel. (Isa. 9:6 LXX) Therefore shortly afterwards he shows him speaking to the blessed Moses: "I am the God of your …
Oecumenius· Commentary on Acts, 550Patristic
- Acts 9:4
He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?”
Commentary on Acts 9:41 voice
For it is written, "And when all things are made subject to him, then the Son himself will also be made subject to him who subjected all things to him." Do you not fear, O man, the God who is called unsubjected? For he makes your subjection his own, and, because of your struggle against virtue, he calls himself unsubjected. Thus, he even said at one time that he himself was the one persecuted; for he says, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" when Saul was hastening to Damascus, desiring to put in bonds the disciples of Christ.
Basil of Caesarea· LETTER 8, 379Patristic
- Acts 9:7
The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless. They heard the voice but did not see anyone.
Commentary on Acts 9:72 voices
"And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice but seeing no one." The light shines upon all who were with him, so that they might bear witness to this apparition, but it blinds not all of them, but only Paul alone, …
Theophylact of Ohrid· Commentary on Acts, 1107Patristic
And the men which journeyed with him,....

- Acts 26:14
We all fell to the ground, and I heard a voice say to me in Hebrew, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’
Commentary on Acts 26:142 voices
And when we were all fallen to the earth,.... Saul, and the men that were with him, for fear of the divine Majesty, who by this extraordinary light was thought to be present: the other narratives only relate Saul's falling to the earth; how this is to be reconciled to their standing speechless, in Act 9:7; see Gill on Act 9:7. I heard a voice speaking unto me, &c. See Gill on Act 10:4. See Gill on Act 10:5.
John Gill· Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)Reformed
For I have heard some saying, If I do not find the Gospel in the archives, I will not believe it. To such persons I say that my archives are Jesus Christ, to disobey whom is manifest destruction. My authentic archives are His cross, and death, and resurrection, and the faith which bears on these things, by which I desire, through your prayers, to be justified. He who disbelieves the Gospel disbelieves everything along with it. For the archives ought not to be preferred to the Spirit.
Ignatius of Antioch· Epistle of Ignatius to the Philadelphians, 108Patristic
- Acts 26:15
‘Who are You, Lord?’ I asked. ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,’ the Lord replied.
Commentary on Acts 26:151 voice
And I said, who art thou, Lord? and he said,.... Or "the Lord said", as the Alexandrian copy, the Vulgate Latin, and Syriac versions read, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest; the Syriac and Ethiopic versions read, "Jesus of Nazareth"; See Gill on Act 9:5.
