Even the mystery which has been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
All Commentaries on Colossians 1:26 Go To Colossians 1
John Chrysostom
AD 407
And with reason he calls that a mystery, which none knew except God. And where hid? In Christ; as he says in the Epistle to the Ephesians. … But now it has been manifested, he says, “to his saints.” So we know that it is altogether of the dispensation of God. “But now has been manifested,” he says. He does not say “is come to pass” but “has been manifested to his saints.” So that it is even now still hid, since it has been manifested to his saints alone.
