Bede the Venerable, on Luke 1:52
Bede the Venerable · c. A.D. 672–735
Luke 1:52 · Douay-Rheims
“He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble.”
On this verse:
“The words, He hath shewed strength with his arm, and those which went before, And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation, must be joined to this verse by a comma only. For truly through all generations of the world, by a merciful and just administration of Divine power, the proud do not cease to fall, and the humble to be exalted. As it is said, He hath put down the mighty from their seat, he hath exalted the humble and meek.”
