Gregory the Great — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on John 1:24-28

Patristic A.D. 604

Gregory the Great · c. A.D. 540–604

“(Hom. vii. in Evang c. 3) A saint, even when perversely questioned, is never diverted from the pursuit of goodness. Thus John to the words of envy opposes the words of life: John answered them, saying, I indeed baptize with water.”
