Pseudo-Chrysostom
Catena Aurea · Matthäusevangelium 1
Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren.
Our Jacob in like manner begot the twelve Apostles in the Spirit, not in the flesh; in word, not in blood. Judah is interpreted ‘confessor,’ for he was a type of Christ who was to be the confessor of His Father, as He spake, I confess to Thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth.
