Eusebius of Caesarea, on Luke 7:29
Eusebius of Caesarea · c. A.D. 260–339
Luke 7:29 · Douay-Rheims
“And all the people hearing, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with John’s baptism.”
On this verse:
“Because also they believed, they justified God, for He appeared just to them in all that He did. But the disobedient conduct of the Pharisees in not receiving John, accorded not with the words of the prophet, That thou mightest be justified when thou speakest. (Ps. 51:4.) Hence it follows, But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God, &c.”
