And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
All Commentaries on Genesis 2:25 Go To Genesis 2
John Chrysostom
AD 407
After stripping you of your robe, the priest himself leads you down into the flowing waters. But why naked? He reminds you of your former nakedness, when you were in paradise and you were not ashamed. For Holy Writ says, “Adam and Eve were naked and were not ashamed,” until they took up the garment of sin, a garment heavy with abundant shame.
