Bede the Venerable, on Mark 12:1

Bede the Venerable · c. A.D. 672–735
Mark 12:1 · Douay-Rheims
“And he began to speak to them in parables: A certain man planted a vineyard and made a hedge about it, and dug a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it to husbandmen; and went into a far country.”
On this verse:
“(in Marc. 3, 42) Or else, the hedge is the wall of the city, the winefat is the altar, or1 those winefats, by which three psalms receive their name.”
