Cyril of Alexandria — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Luke 21:37-38

Patristic A.D. 444
Cyril of Alexandria · A.D. 376–444
“But because His speech was with power, and with authority He applied to spiritual worship the things which had been delivered in figures by Moses and the Prophets, the people heard Him gladly. As it follows, And the whole people made haste to come early to hear him in the temple. But the people who came to Him before light might with fitness say, O God my God, early do I wait upon thee.”
