Lucas 7
Theophylact of Ohrid
Lucas 7:1-10
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] Or in another way. The centurion must be understood as one who stood foremost among many in wickedness, as long as he possesses many things in this life, i. e. is occupied with many affairs or concerns. But he has a servant, the irrational part of the soul, that is, the irascible and concupiscent part. And he speaks to Jesus, the Jews acting as mediators, that is, the thoughts and words of confession, and immediately he received his servant whole. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Lucas 7:12-15
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] By the widow also you may understand a soul that has lost her husband in the divine word. Her son is the understanding, which is carried out beyond the city of the living. Its coffin is the body, which some indeed have called the tomb. But the Lord touching him raises him up, causing him to become young, and rising from sin he begins to speak and teach others. For before he would not have been believed. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Lucas 7:22
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] These are also the words of Elias, saying, The Lord himself shall come and save us. Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap as an hart. (Isa. 35:4-6.) — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Lucas 7:50
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] But after having forgiven her sins, He stops not at the forgiveness of sins, but adds good works, as it follows, Go in peace, i. e. in righteousness, for righteousness is the reconciliation of man to God, as sin is the enmity between God and man; as if He said, Do all things which lead you to the peace of God. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
