St John Chrysostom The Homilies of St. John Chrysostom on the Epistle to the Hebrews, Hebrews 13.17
Ver. 19 . “But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.” His thus praying was [the act] of one who loved them greatly, and that not simply, but with all earnestness, that so, he says, I may come to you speedily. The earnest desire to come to them is [the mark] of one conscious to himself of nothing [wrong], also the entreating them to pray for him.
