Hebrews 11:15
Douay-Rheims
And truly if they had been mindful of that from whence they came out, they had doubtless time to return.
John Chrysostom
What sort of "country" was this? Was it that which they had left? By no means. For what hindered them if they wished, from returning again, and becoming citizens? But they sought that which is in Heaven. Thus they desired their departure hence, and so they pleased God; for "God was not ashamed to be called their God."
