Ezequiel 34
John Chrysostom · Comentário Patrístico (catena)
Ezequiel 34:4
Christ showed that he was different from those who neglect the flock when it is being preyed on by wolves, since he did not neglect them and even laid down his life for them so that the sheep might not perish. — HOMILIES ON THE GOSPEL OF JOHN 60
Ezequiel 34:4
Do you see a shepherd's vigilance? Do you see his heightened interest? What excuse could they have to whom rational flocks are entrusted but who are guilty of great negligence and day after day, in the prophet's words, slaughter some of them and look on without intending to take any care of others made the prey of wild beasts or the spoils of other people—even when the labor involved is slight and attention easy? It is a soul, after all, that is to be instructed; but that involves much labor for body and soul. — HOMILIES ON GENESIS 57:32
Ezequiel 34:23
For both Ezekiel and other prophets besides speak of David as coming and rising again; not meaning him who was dead but those who were emulating his virtue. — HOMILIES ON THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW 2:6
