Ambrose of Milan — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Luke 11:45-54

Patristic A.D. 397
Ambrose of Milan · A.D. 339–397
“This is a good answer to the foolish superstition of the Jews, who in building the tombs of the prophets condemned the deeds of their fathers, but by rivalling their fathers’ wickedness, throw back the sentence upon themselves. For not the building but the imitation of their deeds is looked upon as a crime. Therefore He adds, Truly ye bear witness that ye allow, &c.”
