Church Fathers on Acts 15:16

And to this agree the words of the Prophets, as it is written: After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up. Acts 15:16 What? Was Jerusalem raised up? Was it not rather thrown down? What sort of raising up does he call that which took place after the return from Babylon?
Chrysostom · 4th century · Homily 33 on Acts
