Galatians 5:7 Douay-Rheims

You did run well, who hath hindered you, that you should not obey the truth?

John Chrysostom

A.D. 347–407 Patristic

This is not an interrogation, but an expression of doubt and sorrow. How hath such a course been cut short? who hath been able to do this? ye who were superior to all and in the rank of teachers, have not even continued in the position of disciples. What has happened? who could do this? these are rather the words of one who is exclaiming and lamenting, as he said before, "Who did bewitch you?" (Gal. iii: 1.)
