Teachers And Listeners

Et virtute magna reddebant apostoli testimonium resurrectionis Jesu Christi Domini nostri.

Doctorum vigilanter auditorumque discernit ordinem. Nam multitudo credentium, rebus suis spretis, charitatis invicem copula juncta est. Apostoli vero virtutibus refulgentes Christi cunctis mysteria pandebant.

Sanctus Beda, Super acta Apostolorum Expositio, Caput IV

Source: Migne PL 92 954A
And with great power the Apostles gave testimony to the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1

He distinguishes carefully the order of teachers and listeners. For the multitude of the faithful, spurning their own things, are bound to one another with love. And the Apostles, blazing with virtues, reveal the mysteries of God to all.

Saint Bede, from the Commentary on the Acts of The Apostles, Chap 4

1 Acts 4.33
