Cyril of Alexandria — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Luke 19:45-48

Patristic A.D. 444
Cyril of Alexandria · A.D. 376–444
“Now there were in the temple a number of sellers who sold animals, by the custom of the law, for the sacrificial victims, but the time was now come for the shadows to pass away, and the truth of Christ to shine forth. Therefore Christ, who together with the Father was worshipped in the temple, commanded the customs of the law to be reformed, but the temple to become a house of prayer; as it is added, My house, &c.”
