John Chrysostom

"But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him." For this was more intolerable to them than the miracles which had taken place-than the five thousand, the three thousand, than everything, in short. And observe him, how he is delivered, not by miraculous grace, but by man's wisdom-not as the apostles were-that thou mayest learn the energetic character of the man, how he shines even without miracles.
