John Chrysostom, on 1Tim 4:14

John Chrysostom · A.D. 347–407
1Tim 4:14 · Douay-Rheims
“Neglect not the grace that is in thee, which was given thee by prophesy, with imposition of the hands of the priesthood.”
On this verse:
“"Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy." Here he calls teaching prophecy. "With the laying on of the hands of the presbytery." He speaks not here of Presbyters, but of Bishops. For Presbyters cannot be supposed to have ordained a Bishop.”
