For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
All Commentaries on Acts 20:29 Go To Acts 20
John Chrysostom
AD 407
What then, someone might say, thinkest you yourself so great? If you should depart, are we to die? I say not this, he replies, that my absence causes this: but what? That there should rise up against you certain of another sort: he says not, because of my departing, but after my departing: that is, after his going on his journey.— And yet this thing has happened already: much more (then will it happen) hereafter. Then we have the cause, to draw away disciples after them.
