Now therefore why test God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
All Commentaries on Acts 15:10 Go To Acts 15
John Chrysostom
AD 407
What means, Tempt ye God? As if He had not power to save by faith. Consequently, it proceeds from a want of faith, this bringing in the Law. Then he shows that they themselves were nothing benefited by it, and he turns the whole (stress of his speech) against the Law, not against them, and (so) cuts short the accusation of them: which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear. But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus we shall be saved, even as they.
