Gregory the Great, on Luke 13:10
Gregory the Great · c. A.D. 540–604
Luke 13:10 · Douay-Rheims
“And he was teaching in their synagogue on their sabbath.”
On this verse:
“(ut sup.) Or else; man was made on the sixth day, and on the same sixth day were all the works of the Lord finished, but the number six multiplied three times makes eighteen. Because then man who was made on the sixth day was unwilling to do perfect works, but before the law, under the law, and at the beginning of grace, was weak, the woman was bowed down eighteen years.”
