John Chrysostom

"And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting." Do you mark that it is to the Spirit the enacting of laws belongs!

Homily on Acts 24 ↗

Theophylact of Ohrid

He could have said nothing that would have revealed his humility more than his appeal to the testimony of the brethren. He does not speak of what the Angel said to Cornelius: "your prayers and your alms" (Acts 10:14), nor does he recount the righteousness of this man, nor does he report that he did so because the Spirit sent him, that God commanded him, having called him from there through an Angel, but confirms with the words "These six brothers also went with me." Because this in itself was undeniable proof.

Bede

But these six brothers also came with me. Beautifully, the testimony of the seven-fold number of brothers is the outpouring of the sevenfold grace of the Holy Spirit. Elsewhere. Because the world was formed in six days, the works are shown to be complete by the six brothers. They well accompany the teacher when they demonstrate to their listeners examples of perfect operation during words of exhortation.
