The cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, when you come, bring with you, and the books, but especially the parchments.
All Commentaries on 2 Timothy 4:13 Go To 2 Timothy 4
John Chrysostom
AD 407
What had he to do with books, who was about to depart and go to God? He needed them much, that he might deposit them in the hands of the faithful, who would retain them in place of his own teaching.
