Athanasius comments: "For Antony [Antony of the Desert] did not heal by issuing commands, but by praying and calling upon the name of Christ, so that it was evident to everyone that it was not he who did this, but the Lord manifesting His compassion to men and, through Antony, was healing those who suffered." (Matthew 17:19 and John 16:23-24)
