John Chrysostom : "Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which showed before of the coming of the Just One:" he still says, "the Just One," wishing to check them: "of Whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers"-two charges he lays against them-"who have received the Law by the disposition of Angels, and have not kept it." — Homily on Acts 17 Oecumenius : Speaking these things we know that the blessed Stephen speaks the truth, being spoken through by the Holy Spirit. But to prove this from the Old Testament how those who disbelieve in Jesus blame their fathers for persecuting and killing the prophets is not possible from the books presented as the New Testament. [ORIGEN] — Commentary on Acts Oecumenius : If then, he says, you kill those who foretold his coming, it is nothing remarkable that I, proclaiming the foretold one, should be killed by you. Nor was he ignorant that he would die at their hands, being full of the Holy Spirit. Therefore he also used boldness without restraint. — Commentary on Acts Oecumenius : He calls him righteous, showing that if he is righteous, those who killed him are exceedingly unjust. And he calls him righteous, which even they could not deny. For nowhere, even being very stubborn, did they accuse him of any injustice. For how could they, who had not even a roof? But he called Jesus righteous, wishing to draw them. — Commentary on Acts Oecumenius : And he calls these his betrayers and murderers, as being partners with those who crucified him, and indeed, he says, having received the law, they hold commands, some of them making the bringing of an offering equivalent to the conduct of those who pay the tax.
