Bede the Venerable — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Mark 14:32-42

Patristic A.D. 735
Bede the Venerable · c. A.D. 672–735
“(ubi sup.) As being God, dwelling in the body, He shews the frailty of flesh, that the blasphemy of those who deny the mystery of His Incarnation might find no place; for having taken up a body, He must needs also take up all that belongs to the body, hunger, thirst, pain, grief; for the Godhead cannot suffer the changes of these affections.”
