The Homilies of S. John Chrysostom on the Gospel of St. John Volume 2

All things are clear and open that are in the divine Scriptures; the necessary things are all plain.

But they [The Scriptures] are expressed obscurely, you say: What is it that is obscure? Tell me. Are there not histories? For (of course) you know the plain parts, in that you enquire about the obscure.
