Homilies on the Gospel of John

“The thief comes not but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.”

Which then took place when all (their followers) were slain and perished.

“But I have come that they might have life, and that they might have more.”

And what is “more” than life, tell me? The kingdom of heaven. But He does not as yet say this, but dwells on the name of “life,” which was known to them.
