Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
All Commentaries on Jeremiah 31:31 Go To Jeremiah 31
John Chrysostom
AD 407
From the prophets I will prove that the Old and New Covenants have one Lawgiver. And so, what does Jeremiah say? “I will give you a new covenant.” Do you see Jeremiah’s prophetic reference to a new covenant that shines forth brilliantly for so many years before Christ’s coming? “I will give you a new covenant.” But how does it seem that he gave even the Old? When he said, “I will give you a new covenant,” he added, “not like the covenant that I gave to your ancestors.”
