What the Fathers say

Acts 7:23

Eastern Fathers

John Chrysostom

"And when he was full forty years old." Forty years he was there, and was not found out from his being circumcised. Observe, how, being in safety, they overlook their own interests, both he and Joseph, in order that they may save others: "And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel."
