Theophylact of Ohrid

Catena Aurea by Aquinas (1107)

First comes deed, then word; for no word of teaching is approved unless first he who teaches shows himself to be a doer thereof. For acting goes before sight; for unless by thy works thou hast cleansed the glass of the understanding, the desired brightness does not appear. But still further it is added, Before God and all the people. For first of all we must please God, and then have regard as far as we can to honesty before men, that placing the honour of God first, we may live without offence to mankind.

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

Now that he was entering upon his glory, see with what unconcernedness he looks back upon his sufferings: What things? He had reason to know what things; for to him they were bitter things, and heavy things, and yet he asks, What things? The sorrow was forgotten, for joy that the man-child of our salvation was born.

Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

A prophet - A teacher sent from God. They did not now call him the “Messiah,” for his “death” had led them to doubt that, but they had no doubt that he was a distinguished “prophet.” The evidence of that was so clear that they “could” not call it in question. Mighty in deed - Powerful in working miracles, in raising the dead, healing the sick, etc. In word - In teaching. Before God and all the people - Manifestly; publicly. So that “God” owned him, and the people regarded him as a distinguished teacher.
