Pseudo-Chrysostom, on Matt 3:4
Matt 3:4 · Douay-Rheims
“And the same John had his garment of camels’ hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins: and his meat was locusts and wild honey.”
On this verse:
“Having said that he is the voice of one crying in the desert, the Evangelist well adds, John had his clothing of camel’s hair; thus shewing what his life was; for he indeed testified of Christ, but his life testified of himself. No one is fit to be another’s witness till he has first been his own.”
