John Chrysostom, on Acts 12:3
John Chrysostom · A.D. 347–407
Acts 12:3 · Douay-Rheims
“And seeing that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to take up Peter also. Now it was in the days of the Azymes.”
On this verse:
“And when he saw that it pleased the Jews. O excessive wickedness! On whose behalf was it, that he gratified them by doing murders thus without plan or reason? "And it was the day of unleavened bread." Again, the idle preciseness of the Jews: to kill indeed they forbade not, but at such a time they did such things!”
