But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.
All Commentaries on Matthew 21:26 Go To Matthew 21
John Chrysostom
AD 407
And how was it they did not say that the baptism was of men? They feared the people Matthew 21:26 it is said. Do you see a perverse heart? In every case they despise God and do all things for the sake of men. For this man too they feared for their sakes not reverencing the saint but on account of men, and they were not willing to believe in Christ, because of men, and all their evils were engendered to them from hence.
