Severus of Antioch

Atos 13:30

Do not be troubled by the fact that Jesus is said to have been raised by God. Indeed, if Jesus is none other than the incarnate Word, he is also the power of the Father through whom everything occurs. This is according to the words, "Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God." He himself will be considered to have raised himself while he is also said to have been raised by the Father to whom all things are referred as the eternal source and cause. Christ himself, in fact, says, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." — CATENA ON THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES 13.30-31

Atos 13:35

From [the tomb] Christ was raised for us and rose as the true lord of incorruptibility, so that we also, by rising up from our tombs to the anticipated resurrection, may run toward heaven and to the clouds in which he returns in his divine glory. — CATENA ON THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES 13.35-36
