What the Fathers say

Philippians 4:20

Eastern Fathers

John Chrysostom

"Now unto our God and Father be the glory for ever and ever. Amen." For the glory of which he speaks belongs not only to the Son, but to the Father too, for when the Son is glorified, then is the Father also. For when he said, This is done to the glory of Christ, lest any one should suppose that it is to His glory alone, he continued, "Unto our God and Father be the glory," that glory which is paid to the Son.

Theophylact of Ohrid

Since he said: to the glory of the Son, he added that the glory of Christ is at the same time also the glory of the Father.
