Theophylact of Ohrid, on 1Pet 5:13

Theophylact of Ohrid · c. 1055–1107
1Pet 5:13 · Douay-Rheims
“The church that is in Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you: and so doth my son Mark.”
On this verse:
“"Babylon" he calls Rome on account of its eminence, which Babylon also enjoyed for a long time. "Elect" he calls the Church of God that was established in Rome. By Mark he means the Evangelist, calling him also a son in the Spirit, not in the flesh. It was to him that he gave the command to write the Gospel.”
