Glossa Ordinaria

Mateus 11:2-3

[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (non occ.) The Evangelist had shown above how by Christ's miracles and teaching, both His disciples and the multitudes had been instructed; he now shows how this instruction had reached even to John's disciples, so that they seemed to have some jealousy towards Christ; John, when he had heard in his bonds the works of Christ, sent two of his disciples to say unto him, Art thou he that should come, or look we for another? (non occ.) But it ought to be observed, that Jerome and Gregory did not say that John was to proclaim Christ's coming to the world beneath, to the end that the unbelievers there might be converted to the faith, but that the righteous who abode in expectation of Christ, should be comforted by His near approach. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas

Mateus 11:10

[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (interlin.) That is, shall open the hearts of Thy hearers by preaching repentance and baptizing. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas

Mateus 11:12

[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (non occ.) That what He had last said should not lead any to suppose that John was an alien from the kingdom of heaven, He corrects this by adding, From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas

Mateus 11:16

[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (ap. Anselm.) By this generation He means the Jews together with Himself and John. As though He had said; John is thus great; but ye would believe neither him nor Me, and therefore to whom shall I liken you? — Catena Aurea by Aquinas

Mateus 11:20

[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (ap. Anselm.) Thus far He had brought His accusation against the Jews in common; now against certain towns by name, in which he had specially preached, and yet they would not be converted; whence it is said, Then began he to upbraid the cities in which most of his mighty works were done, because they had not repented. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas

Mateus 11:25-26

[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (non occ.) Because the Lord knew that many would doubt respecting the foregoing matter, namely, that the Jews would not receive Christ whom the Gentile world has so willingly received, He here makes answer to their thoughts; And Jesus answered and said, I confess unto thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth. (ord.) That is, Who makest of heaven, or leavest in earthliness, whom Thou wilt. Or literally, ... — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
