Such was also the way of Christ. Often He healed by word often by an act often also He stretched forth the hand where men were somewhat weak in faith that the cure might not appear to be spontaneous. – St John Chrysostom #apostlesfeast #stpeter #actsoftheapostles #coptic #orthodox #orthodoxy

Do you perceive the unparalleled magnificence of their ministry? Do you comprehend the dignity of the apostles? They are not authorized to speak of things perceivable by the senses. They do not repeat what Moses said or the prophets before them. Rather they spoke of new and strange things. Moses and the prophets spoke of temporal promises of an earthly land. The apostles proclaimed the kingdom of heaven and all that this implies. Not only does the loftiness of their message characterize them as

Those enemies wounded St Paul with stones: there is a wounding with words even worse than stones. What then must we do? The same that he did: he did not hate those who cast stones at him but after they had dragged him out he entered again into their city to be a benefactor to those who had done him such wrongs.
