And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him,
All Commentaries on Acts 7:9 Go To Acts 7
John Chrysostom
AD 407
And circumcised him on the eighth day: and Isaac (begot) Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs. Acts 7:8.— Here he seems to hint now at the type. And the patriarchs moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt. Acts 7:9 Here again, the type of Christ. Though they had no fault to find with him, and though he came on purpose to bring them their food, they thus ill-treated him. Still here again the promise, though it is a long while first, receives its fulfillment.
