Gregory the Great, on Luke 3:7
Gregory the Great · c. A.D. 540–604
Luke 3:7 · Douay-Rheims
“He said therefore to the multitudes that went forth to be baptized by him: Ye offspring of vipers, who hath shewed you to flee from the wrath to come?”
On this verse:
“(ubi sup.) But the Jews glorying in their noble birth were unwilling to acknowledge themselves sinners, because they were descended from the stock of Abraham. So then it is rightly said, And begin not to say within yourselves, we have Abraham for our father.”
