Cyril of Alexandria — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Luke 19:41-44

Patristic A.D. 444
Cyril of Alexandria · A.D. 376–444
“If thou hadst known, even thou. The Jews were not worthy to receive the divinely inspired Scriptures, which relate the mystery of Christ. For as often as Moses is read, a veil overshadows their heart that they should not see what has been accomplished in Christ, who being the truth puts to flight the shadow. And because they regarded not the truth, they rendered themselves unworthy of the salvation which flows from Christ.”
