Wisdom of the Fathers

On Acts 14:15 --

“We find a reason for some illnesses in the saints, such as the apostles, for, lest he appear to go beyond the bounds of nature and lest anyone consider him to possess, in his nature, something greater and more excellent than is fitting – which was the case among the Lyconians, who offered him crowns and bulls – he was struck with ilnness in order to show his nature was human.” – Basil the Great in Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture: New Testament V: Acts, 176-7.
