For Isaiah, tasting the mysteries of the New Testament in this way, says: \"And I will make with you an everlasting covenant, the holy and sure blessings of David\" (Isaiah 55:3). This is read in the Hebrew truth: \"And I will make with you an eternal covenant, the faithful mercies of David.\"<br/><i>— Commentary on Acts</i></p><p><b>John Chrysostom</b>: \"And as concerning that He raised Him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, He said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.\"</p><p>\"The faithful mercies,\" the abiding mercies, those which never perish. Paul loved them exceedingly. And observe, he does not enlarge on the ingratitude of the fathers, but puts before them what they must fear. For Stephen indeed with good reason does this, seeing he was about to be put to death, not teaching them; and showing them, that the Law is even now on the point of being abolished: but not so Paul; he does but threaten and put them in fear. And he does not dwell long on these, as taking it for granted that the word is of course believed; nor enlarge upon the greatness of their punishment, and assail that which they affectionately love, by showing the Law about to be cast out: but dwells upon that which is for their good, telling them that great shall be the blessings for them being obedient, and great the evils being disobedient.<br/><i>— Homily on Acts 29</i></p><p><b>Oecumenius</b>: Note, then, that it is not necessary to say that the body of our Savior and God Jesus Christ, after the resurrection, is passible, that is, susceptible to suffering, nor imperishable and immortal before the resurrection.
