Patristic A.D. 444
“This parable is intended to set before us the mysteries of Christ from the first to the last. For God was made man, who was the Word from the beginning; and though He became a servant, yet was He noble because of His unspeakable birth from the Father.”
Catena Aurea: Gospel of Luke, as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Luke 19:11-27
