John Chrysostom — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Matthew 12:14-21

Patristic A.D. 407
John Chrysostom · A.D. 347–407
“This the Prophet puts in the beginning, that you might learn that that which is here said was according to the counsel of the Father. For he that is beloved does according to his will who loveth him. And again, he that is chosen, does not as an enemy break the law, nor as one being an adversary of the legislator, but as one in agreement with Him. Because therefore He is beloved, I will put my Spirit upon him.”
