Patristic
“Mystically, our leprosy is the sin of the first man, which began from the head, when he desired the kingdoms of the world. For covetousness is the root of all evil; wherefore Gehazi, engaged in an avaritious pursuit, is covered with leprosy.”
Catena Aurea: Gospel of Mark, as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Mark 1:40-45
