Bede the Venerable, on John 12:12
Bede the Venerable · c. A.D. 672–735
John 12:12 · Douay-Rheims
“And on the next day, a great multitude that was to come to the festival day, when they had heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,”
On this verse:
“It is a compound of two words; Hosi is shortened into save; Anna a mere exclamation, complete. Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord. The name of the Lord here is the name of God the Father; though we may understand it as His own name; inasmuch as He also is the Lord. But the former sense agrees better with the text above, I am come in My Father’s name. (5:43) He does not lose His divinity, when He teaches us humility.”
