Bede the Venerable — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Mark 1:40-45

Patristic A.D. 735
Bede the Venerable · c. A.D. 672–735
“(in Marc. i. 7) After that the serpent-tongue of the devils was shut up, and the woman, who was first seduced, cured of a fever, in the third place, the man, who listened to the evil counsels of the woman, is cleansed from his leprosy, that the order of restoration in the Lord might be the same as was the order of the fall in our first parents; whence it goes on: And there came a leper to him, beseeching him.”
