Lucas 7:1
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] When He had strengthened His disciples by more perfect teaching, He goes to Capernaum to work miracles there; as it is said, When he had ended all his sayings, he entered into Capernaum. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Lucas 7:12
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] But some one will say of the centurion's servant, that he was not going to die. That such an one might restrain his rash tongue, the Evangelist explains that the young man whom Christ came upon was already dead, the only son of a widow. For it follows, And she was a widow, and much people of the city was with her. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Lucas 7:14
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] But the Saviour is not like to Elias mourning over the son of the widow of Sarepta, (1 Kings 17) nor as Elisha who laid his own body upon the body of the dead, (2 Kings 4) nor as Peter who prayed for Tabitha, (Acts 9:40) but is none other than He who calls those things which be not, as though they were, who can speak to the dead as to the living, (Rom. 4:17) as it follows, And he said, Young man — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Lucas 7:15
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] But straightway he arose to whom the command was made. For the Divine power is irresistible; there is no delay, no urgency of prayer, as it follows, And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak, and he gave him to his mother. These are the signs of a true resurrection, for the lifeless body cannot speak, nor would the mother have carried back to her house her dead and lifeless son. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Lucas 7:24
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (non occ.) But you went not out into the desert, (where there is no pleasantness,) leaving your cities, except as caring for this man. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Lucas 7:27
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] He calls a man an angel, not because he was by nature an angel, for he was by nature a man, but because he exercised the office of an angel, in heralding the advent of Christ. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Lucas 7:34
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] For Christ would not abstain from this food, lest He should give a handle to heretics, who say that the creatures of God are bad, and blame flesh and wine. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Lucas 7:40
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] But the Lord not hearing his words, but perceiving his thoughts, showed Himself to be the Lord of Prophets, as it follows, And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have something to say unto thee. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Lucas 7:41-42
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] As if He said, Nor art thou without debts. What then! If thou art involved in fewer debts, boast not thyself, for thou art still in need of pardon. Then He goes on to speak of pardon, And when they had nothing to pay, he freely forgave them both. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Lucas 7:44
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] As if He said, To provide water is easy, to pour forth tears is not easy. Thou hast not provided even what was at hand, she hath poured forth what was not at hand; for washing my feet with her tears, she washed away her own stains. She wiped them with her hair, that so she might draw to herself the sacred moisture, and by that by which she once enticed youth to sin, might now attract to herself holiness. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Lucas 7:47
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] But it more frequently happens that he who has sinned much is purified by confession, but he who has sinned little, refuses from pride to come to be healed thereby. Hence it follows, But to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
