On Acts
“We cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.”
On the oath.
Chrysostom, in the tenth homily on Acts, inculcating [his] dogma about the oath — peculiar to himself alone — intimates that every oath is against the evangelical law, which entirely forbids to Christians the custom of swearing [once] allowed to the Jews of old. See Annotation 26 of this book.
