Lucas 10
Titus of Bostra · Comentário Patrístico (catena)
Lucas 10:5
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] But it is said, Peace be to this house, that is, to them that dwell in the house. As if he says, I speak unto all, both the greater and the less, yet should not your salutation be addressed to them that are unworthy of it. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Lucas 10:6
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] Hence it is added, And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it. As if he says, You indeed shall utter the word, but the blessing of peace shall be applied wherever I shall deem men worthy of it. But if any one is not worthy, ye are not mocked, the grace of your word has not perished, but is returned unto you. And this is what is added, But if not, it shall return unto you again. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Lucas 10:7
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] Or else; Since you are not appointed judges as to who are worthy and who are unworthy, eat and drink what things they offer to you. But leave to me the trial of those who receive you, unless you happen also to know that the son of peace is not there, for perhaps in that case you ought to depart. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Lucas 10:16
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] But at the same time He herein consoles His disciples, as if He said, Say not why are we about to suffer reproach. Let your speech be with moderation. I give you grace, upon Me your reproaches fall. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Lucas 10:17
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] But at the same time He herein consoles His disciples, as if He said, Say not why are we about to suffer reproach. Let your speech be with moderation. I give you grace, upon Me your reproaches fall. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Lucas 10:18
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] Now He says that He saw it, as being Judge, for He knew the sufferings of the spirits. Or He says, as lightning, because by nature Satan shone as lightning, but became darkness through his affections, since what God made good he changed in himself to evil. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Lucas 10:19
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] Serpents indeed at one time under a figure were made to bite the Jews, and kill them because of their unbelief. But there came One who should destroy those serpents; even the Brazen Serpent, (Numb. 21:8.) the Crucified, so that if any one should look on Him believing, he might be healed from his wounds and saved. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Lucas 10:20
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] But because the joy with which He saw them rejoice savoured of vain-glory, for they rejoiced that they were as it were exalted, and were a terror to men and evil spirits, our Lord therefore adds, Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you, &c. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Lucas 10:21-22
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (non occ.) For all other things have been produced by Christ from nothing, but He alone was incomprehensibly begotten of His Father; Who therefore of the Only-begotten alone, as a true Son, is by nature the Father. Hence He alone says to His Father, I give thanks to thee, O Father, Lord, &c. that is, I glorify thee. Marvel not that the Son glorifies the Father. For the whole substance of the Only-begotten is the glory of the Father. For both those things which were created, and the Angels, are the glory of the Creator. But since these are placed too low in respect of His dignity, the Son alone, since He is perfect God like His Father, perfectly glorifies His Father. Now a revelation is the communication of knowledge in proportion to each man's nature and capacity; and when indeed the nature is congenial, there is knowledge without teaching; but here the instruction is by revelation. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
