Chrysostom in Opere imperfect. or whosoever was the Author of that book; notes it the property of a good Son, when he comes to town, first to visit his Fathers house, and to perform the honour that is due to him. We find this in▪ Christ. Math. 22. so soon as ever he came to Jerusalem, first he visits his Fathers house, He went into the Temple. What 1the Son and Lord of David did there, the same course doth the Servant of his Son take here: First, I will go into thy House.
