John 8:57
Douay-Rheims
The Jews therefore said to him: Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
Gregory the Great
(Hom. xviii. in Evang.) The carnal minds of the Jews are intent on the flesh only; they think only of His age in the flesh: Then said the Jews unto Him, Thou art not fifty years old, and hast Thou seen Abraham? that is to say, Many ages have passed since Abraham died; and how then could he see thy day? For they took His words in a carnal sense.
