John Chrysostom : "For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses," (Again he is speaking of the Flesh), "inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honor than the house"; Moses himself also (he means) was of the house. Moreover he did not say, For this one was a servant, but the Other a master, but he covertly intimated it. If the people were the house and he was of the people, then he certainly was of the household. For so also we are accustomed to say, such an one is of such an one's house. For here he is speaking of a house, not of the temple, for the temple was not constructed by God, but by men. But He that made him is God. Moses he means. And see how he covertly shows the superiority. "Faithful," he says, "in all His house," being himself also of the house, that is, of the people. The builder has more honor than the house, yet he did not say "the artificer hath more honor than his works," but "he that hath builded the house, than the house." "But He that built all things is God." Thou seest that he is speaking not about the temple but about the whole people. — Homily on Hebrews 5 Oecumenius : "For this one has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses." Saying the equality of Christ with Moses, he now gently speaks of the superiority, "this one has been counted worthy of more." Who? The Christ understood according to the flesh, is deemed to have greater glory than Moses, insofar as he has greater honor than the house, "For this one has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who built the house has more honor than the house itself." Now he speaks of the ultimate superiority, and how great it is from God to man, and he says: Moses was faithful in all his house, that is, the people. But he himself was also of the house, and of the people. Therefore, the Christ according to the flesh is deemed worthy of so much greater glory than Moses, as much as, he says, he who built the house has more honor than the house itself. For he refers to the house here as the people along with Moses, since Moses was also one of the people; but Christ is the creator of the house. — The Pseudo-Oecumenian Catena on Hebrews Photios I of Constantinople : "One who has been worthy of much more glory." He discussed in what ways Moses is equal to Christ, now he talks about Christ's superiority. "Of much more." Who is that? Christ, who is the Word incarnate. "More glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself." Now he talks about the highest superiority of God over human beings. He says Moses was a faithful ruler over the whole household, that is, over the whole people, yet Moses himself was one of them. Therefore, the humanity of Christ is worthy of so much more honor than the honor of Moses, as the creator is superior to the creation, "just as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself." By "house" he means the people who were with Moses, yet Moses was one of them while Christ was the one who created the house. — FRAGMENTS ON THE EPISTLE TO THE Hebrews 3.3 Theodoret of Cyrus : As great as is the difference between creature and creator, he is saying, so great is the difference between Moses and Christ. — INTERPRETATION OF Hebrews 3
