Matthew 2:3 Douay-Rheims

And king Herod hearing this, was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

Leo the Great

c. A.D. 400–461 Patristic

(Serm. xxxvi. 2.) Herod represents the Devil; who as he then instigated him, so now he unweariedly imitates him. For he is grieved by the calling of the Gentiles, and by the daily ruin of his power.
