John of Damascus — on Dan 8:17 (ON DIVINE IMAGES 1:8)

Patristic A.D. 749
John of Damascus · A.D. 676–749
“Joshua, the son of Nun, and Daniel bowed in veneration before an angel of God, but they did not adore him. For adoration is one thing, and that which is offered in order to honor something of great excellence is another.”
