What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 2:7 Basil of Caesarea, On the Holy Spirit (Chapter XIX)

    … the people for their rebellion and disobedience; "you do always," he says, "resist the Holy Ghost;" and again Isaiah,--"They vexed His Holy Spirit, therefore He was turned to be their enemy;" and in another passage, "the house of Jacob angered the Spirit of the Lord." Are not these passages indicative of authoritative power?
