John Chrysostom
Catena Aurea · Matthäusevangelium 1
But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
He says, Fear not to take unto thee; that is, to keep at home; for in thought she was already dismissed.
