Jerome — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Matthew 22:23-33

Patristic A.D. 420
Jerome · c. A.D. 347–420
“As they disbelieved the resurrection of the body, and supposed that the soul perished with the body, they accordingly invent a fable to display the fondness of the belief of a resurrection. Thus they put forward a base fiction to overthrow the verity of the resurrection, and conclude with asking, in the resurrection whose shall she be? Though it might be that such an instance might really occur in their nation.”
