Basil of Caesarea, on 1Cor 14:23
Basil of Caesarea · c. A.D. 330–379
1Cor 14:23 · Douay-Rheims
“If therefore the whole church come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in unlearned persons or infidels, will they not say that you are mad?”
On this verse:
“Even if a stranger should address his inquiries through ignorance to some other person and although he who is questioned by mistake is able to make a satisfactory reply, yet, for the sake of good order, he should keep silence and direct the stranger to him whose function it is, as the apostles did when the Lord was present. In this way, speech will be employed in a well-ordered and fitting manner.”
