Translation

What the Fathers say

Acts 8:29

Eastern Fathers

John Chrysostom

And the Spirit said unto him. Not now the Angel but the Spirit urges him. Why is this? Then, the vision took place, in grosser form, through the Angel, for this is for them that are more of the body, but the Spirit is for the more spiritual. And how did He speak to him? Of course, suggested it to him.

Homily on Acts 19 ↗

Western Saints

Bede

And the Spirit said to Philip. The Spirit spoke in Philip's heart. For the Spirit of God, as it were, appears to speak words to us, with a hidden force prompting us to do what ought to be done.
