Ambrose of Milan — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Luke 15:25-32

Patristic A.D. 397
Ambrose of Milan · A.D. 339–397
“Now the shameless son is like to the Pharisee justifying himself. Because he had kept the law in the letter, he wickedly accused his brother for having wasted his father’s substance with harlots. For it follows, But as soon as this thy son is come, who hath devoured thy living, &c.”
