Ambrose of Milan — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Luke 23:6-12

Patristic A.D. 397
Ambrose of Milan · A.D. 339–397
“Under the type also of Herod and Pilate, who from enemies were made friends by Jesus Christ, is preserved the figure of the people of Israel and the Gentile nation; that through our Lord’s Passion should come to pass the future concord of both, yet so that the people of the Gentiles should receive the word of God first, and then transmit it by the devotion of their faith to the Jewish people; that they too may with the glory of their majesty clothe the body of Christ, which before they had despised.”
