What the Fathers say

Acts 16:29

Eastern Fathers

John Chrysostom

Do you mark what happened in the former case, and what here? There a girl was released from a spirit, and they cast them into prison, because they had liberated her from the spirit. Here, they did but show the doors standing open, and it opened the doors of his heart, it loosed two sorts of chains; that prisoner kindled the true light; for the light in his heart was shining. And he sprang in, and fell before them; and he does not ask, How is this? What is this? but straightway he says, What must I do to be saved?
