John Chrysostom

He was so well known to all, that "they recognized him. And all the people," it says, "saw him walking and praising God; and they recognized that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple." It is well said, "they recognized," inasmuch as he was one unknown now by reason of what had happened: for we use this term with regard to objects, which we find a difficulty in recognizing.
