Excerpt from Catena Aurea, Vol. 1: Commentary on the Four Gospels, Collected Out of the Works of the Fathers, St. Matthew, Vol. IIJohn should be so far a prophet, as to acknowledge Christ, and to preach remission of sin, but that like a pious prophet, he could not think that He whom he had believed to be He that should come, was to suffer death be doubted therefore though not in faith, yet in love. SO Peter also doubted, saying, This be far from Thee, Lord, this shall not be unto Thee. Chrys. But this seems hardly reasonable. For John was not in ignorance of His death, but was the first to preach it, saying, Behold the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sins of the world. For thus calling Him the Lamb, he plainly shews forth the Cross, and no other wise than by the Cross did He take away the sins of the world. Also how is he a greater prophet than these, if he knew not those things which all the prophets knew.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
