Cyril of Alexandria, on Luke 21:37
Cyril of Alexandria · A.D. 376–444
Luke 21:37 · Douay-Rheims
“And in the daytime, he was teaching in the temple; but at night, going out, he abode in the mount that is called Olivet.”
On this verse:
“But because His speech was with power, and with authority He applied to spiritual worship the things which had been delivered in figures by Moses and the Prophets, the people heard Him gladly. As it follows, And the whole people made haste to come early to hear him in the temple. But the people who came to Him before light might with fitness say, O God my God, early do I wait upon thee.”
