What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
John Chrysostom
"Go thy way," he says, "for this time: when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee." Observe his hardness of heart: hearing such things, "he hoped that he should receive money from him!" And not only so, but even after conversing with him - for it was towards the end of his government - he left him bound, "willing to show the Jews a pleasure": so that he not only coveted money, but also glory. How, O wretch, canst thou look for money from a man who preaches the contrary? …
Theophylact of Ohrid
"Therefore he sent for him often and conversed with him." Do you see what truthfulness breathes in what is written? He sent for Paul often not because he admired him or because he approved of his words, and not because he wished to believe, but because he hoped that he would be given money.
