Theophylact of Ohrid

Lucas 6:1

[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] Now He says, on the second sabbath after the first, because the Jews called every feast a sabbath. For sabbath means rest. Frequently therefore was there feasting at the preparation, and they called the preparation a sabbath because of the feast, and hence they gave to the principal sabbath the name of the second-first, as being the second in consequence of the festival of the day preceding. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas

Lucas 6:5

[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] But he reproves them in another way, as it is added, And he said unto them, that the So of man is Lord also of the sabbath. As if he said, I am the Lord of the sabbath, as being He who ordained it, and as the Legislator I have power to loose the sabbath; for Christ was called the Son of man, who being the Son of God yet condescended in a miraculous manner to be made and called for man's sake the Son of man. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas

Lucas 6:17

[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] That is, for the cure of their souls; and that they might be healed of their diseases, that is, for the cure of their bodies. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas

Lucas 6:37-38

[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] As if he says, As when you wish to measure meal without sparing, you press it down, shake it together, and let it pour over abundantly; so the Lord will give a large and overflowing measure into your bosom. But some one will put the subtle question, "If the return is made overabundantly, how is it the same measure?" to which we answer, that He said not, "In just as great a measure shall it be measured to you again, but in the same measure." For he who has shown mercy, shall have mercy shown unto him, and this is measuring again with the same measure; but our Lord spoke of the measure running over, because to such a one He will show mercy a thousand times. So also in judging; for he that judges and afterwards is judged receives the same measure. But as far as he was judged the more severely that he judged one like unto himself, was the measure running over. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas

Lucas 6:39-40

[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] Or else, If thou judgest another, and in the very same way sinnest thyself, art not thou like to the blind leading the blind? For how canst thou lead him to good when thou also thyself committest sin? For the disciple is not above his master. If therefore thou sinnest, who thinkest thyself a master and guide, where will he be who is taught and led by thee? For he will be the perfect disciple who is as his master. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas

Lucas 6:41

[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] But the Lord introduces another parable taken from the same figure, as follows, But why seest thou the mote (that is, the slight fault) which is in thy brother's eye, but the beam which is in thine own eye (that is, thy great sin) thou regardest not? — Catena Aurea by Aquinas

Lucas 6:42

[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] But these words are applicable to all, and especially to teachers, who while they punish the least sins of those who are put under them, leave their own unpunished. Wherefore the Lord calls them hypocrites, because to this end judge they the sins of others, that they themselves might seem just. Hence it follows, Thou hypocrite, first cast the beam out of thine own eye, &c. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
