Patristic Catena Aurea: Gospel of Luke, as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Luke 2:51-52

Greek Expositor (anonymous), on Luke 2:51

Luke 2:51 · Douay-Rheims
“And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them. And his mother kept all these words in her heart.”
On this verse:
“(Amphilochius.) He increased then in age, His body growing to the stature of man; but in wisdom through those who were taught divine truths by Him; in grace, that is, whereby we are advanced with joy, trusting at last to obtain the promises; and this indeed before God, because having put on the flesh, He performed His Father’s work, but before men by their conversion from the worship of idols to the knowledge of the Most High Trinity.”
