Annotation CCCXXXV

”They went about in sheepskins [melotae], in goatskins.” — Hebrews 11:37

Whether the souls of the saints are yet blessed.

Chrysostom, [in] the 28th homily on the epistle to the Hebrews, narrating this, indicates that the souls of the saints, before the day of judgment, do not enjoy the divine vision. Read above, Annotation 264 of this book, and below, 345. Theodoret writes this same [thing] in this place. See there [ibidem]. Theophylact brings the same opinion hither. See there. Oecumenius similarly expounds. See the same Annotations.
