Ambrose of Milan, on Exod 19:6
Ambrose of Milan · A.D. 339–397
Exod 19:6 · Douay-Rheims
“And you shall be to me a priestly kingdom, and a holy nation. Those are the words thou shalt speak to the children of Israel.”
On this verse:
“How indeed but in his body did Christ expiate the sins of the people? In what did he suffer, save in his body—even as we said: "Christ having suffered in the flesh"? In what is he a priest, save in that which he took unto himself the vocation of a priestly nation?”
