“"And the next day he showed himself unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another?" Do you mark with what mildness he addresses them? He who had shown his wrath in the case of the other, shows his gentleness in his own case.”
John Chrysostom, 5th c. — Homily on Acts 16
