Cyril of Alexandria : That the Father is said to have raised from the dead our Lord Jesus Christ (the effect of the act being on his flesh, clearly) is not in doubt. He, being the life-creating and active power of the Father, gave life to his own temple, as in "Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up." What was made alive was not another's body, nor indeed one belonging to a man among us, but his own, the body of the Word. — CATENA ON THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES 4.10 John Chrysostom : "By what means this man is made whole: be it known unto you all, and to all the people Israel; that by the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth"-this is what would vex them most. For this was that which Christ had told the disciples, "What ye hear in the ear that preach ye upon the housetops."-"That in the name of Jesus Christ," he says, "of Nazareth, Whom ye crucified, Whom God raised from the dead, even by Him doth this man stand here before you whole." Think not, he says that we conceal the country, or the nature of the death. "Whom ye crucified, Whom God raised from the dead, even by Him doth this man stand before you whole." Again the death, again the resurrection. — Homily on Acts 10 John Chrysostom : "Be it known unto you all," etc. Whereby he shows them that they rather do, in spite of themselves, preach Christ; themselves extol the doctrine, by their examining and questioning. O exceeding boldness-"Whom ye crucified! Whom God raised up"-this is bolder still! Think not that we hide what there is to be ashamed of. He says this all but tauntingly: and not merely says it, but dwells upon the matter. — Homily on Acts 10 Oecumenius : The name in this place means the reputation that is held about him and the glory. As the Psalmist also says when he speaks: "How wonderful is your name in all the earth!" (Ps. 8:1) Such a reputation has been poured out among you, that not only it is not honored in glory, but even he who bears such a name you have subjected to the death of evildoers. And he calls him a Nazarene from the place from which the reputation arose, dwelling here among the humblest about Christ, so that he might make clear that not even the human lowliness dishonors the true glory, if only the discerning observer sees in what way. — Commentary on Acts Oecumenius : Therefore, to their shame concerning those to whom the word is directed, he immediately adds the, "You crucified," together with the, He "raised from the dead." Who raised him? God. For since, being envied by you, it seemed to render worthless to the death of evildoers the glory arising from the miracles of him (wherefore they also said, "What shall we do? For this man works many signs"), (Jn. 11:47-48) to the cross he set against you the resurrection. Who? God raised him. For the resurrection is ascribed to the Father, since every godly work is common, except for the hypostatic properties of the life-giving Trinity, and in order to show them as opposing from that source. For there was not yet an opportunity of time for him to proclaim plainly that he had risen by his own power, especially among men who were striving to establish things by their own means, and therefore were not subject to the righteousness of God. (see Rom. 10:3) — Commentary on Acts Oecumenius : "That in the name," Peter says, "this man stands before you healed." By the word "stands" he indicated the sense "has been made upright." — Commentary on Acts Oecumenius : But they did not say "the lame man" by name: for they were so distressed by this that they did not even want to mention the healing. Therefore Peter answered: "in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead." We preach, he says, humility, boasting on account of the excellent resurrection. — Commentary on Acts
