Summary/Abstract: This document provides an in-depth analysis of farewell speeches as interpreted by Saint John Chrysostom, focusing on the biblical narratives of Jesus's final discourses to His disciples before His death. It explores the genre of consolation literature in ancient texts, highlighting Chrysostom’s approach to these speeches as a form of comforting and instructing the disciples in preparation for His departure. Through a close examination of the scriptural text and Chrysostom’s commentary, the study reveals how these speeches serve as a testament of comfort, integrating theological insights with practical guidance for the Christian community.
