The Fathers on this verse
St John Chrysostom The Homilies of St. John Chrysostom on the Epistle to the Hebrews, Hebrews 3.7-11
[5.] Then he adds ( ver. 15 ), “When it is said, To-day if ye hear His voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.” This is a transposition, “when it is said, To-day if ye hear His voice, harden not your hearts.” [It must be read thus:]
St Cyril of Jerusalem On the Mysteries. V: On the Sacred Liturgy and Communion
15. Give us this day our substantial bread . This common bread is not substantial bread, but this Holy Bread is substantial, that is, appointed for the substance of the soul. For this Bread goeth not into the belly and is cast out into the draught , but is distributed into thy whole system for the benefit of body and soul. But by this day , he means, “each day,” as also Paul said, While it is called to-day .
