Orthodox 1107
Theophylact of Ohrid · c. 1055–1107
“We must know also, that action is first called, then contemplation; for Peter is the type of the active life, for he was more ardent than the others, just as the active life is the more bustling; but John is the type of the contemplative life, for he speaks more fully of divine things.”
