What the Fathers say

Acts 28:20

Eastern Fathers

John Chrysostom

For it is for your sakes "that I am bound with this chain." So far am I, he says, from any hostile feeling towards you.

Homily on Acts 55 ↗

Theophylact of Ohrid

"For the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain." That is, by the Scriptures one hope has been granted to the Jews—Christ, and it was by preaching Him that Paul found himself in this condition of a prisoner.
