Theophylact of Ohrid — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Luke 13:31-35

Orthodox 1107
Theophylact of Ohrid · c. 1055–1107
“Or your house, (that is, temple,) as if He says, As long as there was virtue in you, it was my temple, but after that you made it a den of thieves, it was no more my house but yours. Or by house He meant the whole Jewish nation, according to the Psalm, O house of Jacob, bless ye the Lord, (Psalm 135:20.) by which he shews that it was He Himself who governed them, and took them out of the hand of their enemies. It follows, And verily I say unto you, &c.”
