John Chrysostom, on Acts 11:23

“Who, when he was come, and had seen the grace of God, rejoiced: and he exhorted them all with purpose of heart to continue in the Lord.”

“"And he exhorted them to cleave unto the Lord, for he was a good man." By "good man," I take it, he means one that is kind, sincere, exceedingly desirous of the salvation of his neighbors - "for he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith. To cleave unto the Lord with purpose of heart" this is said with encomium and praise. "And much people was added unto the Lord:" for like rich land this city received the word, and brought forth much fruit.”
