I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 1:14 Go To 1 Corinthians 1
John Chrysostom
AD 407
The greatness of baptism does not lie in the baptizer but in the one whose name is invoked in the baptism. Furthermore, although baptism is important and even necessary in order to obtain the kingdom, still it is much less than preaching the gospel. A person of no singular excellence can baptize, but only the truly gifted can preach the gospel.
