John Chrysostom, on Acts 12:13
John Chrysostom · A.D. 347–407
Acts 12:13 · Douay-Rheims
“And when he knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, whose name was Rhode.”
On this verse:
“And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda. And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for gladness. Mark even the servant-girls, how full of piety they are. But ran in, just as we are wont to do, she was eager to be herself the bringer of the good tidings, for good news it was indeed.”
