The words, “and to show them to be much greater than they are,” are rejected by Montfaucon on the authority of two mss., but defended by Mr. Field. [They are found in all the mss. collated by the latter editor, with one exception.—R.] It seems to be true that our Lord sometimes encouraged faith, and brought out good example, by putting on an action a higher meaning and intention than was at all fully formed in the mind of the doer.

They say unto Him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.” Wherefore doth He ask them? Lest any one should think that when they wish to receive one thing, He giveth them another thing. For indeed it is usual with Him on every occasion, first to make manifest and discover to all the virtue of those He is healing, and then to apply the cure, for one reason, that He might lead on the others likewise to emulation; and for another, that He might show that they were enjoying the gift worthily. This, for instance, He did with respect to the Canaanitish woman also, this too in the case of the centurion, this again as to her that had the issue of blood, or rather that marvellous woman even anticipated the Lord’s inquiry; but not so did He pass her by, but even after the cure makes her manifest. Such earnest care had He on every occasion to proclaim the good deeds of them that come to Him, and to show them to be much greater than they are,which He doth here also."],"source_library_url":"/library/b60c9e3091b91f865600/#ws-library-full-note:b60c9e3091b91f865600:cite_note-4","source_url":"https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Nicene_and_Post-Nicene_Fathers:_Series_I/Volume_X/The_Homilies_of_St._John_Chrysostom/Homily_63#cite_note-4","translator":"Sir George Prevost, M.
