Lucas 5
Gregory of Nazianzus · Comentário Patrístico (catena)
Lucas 5:3
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (Orat. 37.) Condescending to all, in order that He might draw forth a fish from the deep, i. e. man swimming in the everchanging scenes and bitter storms of this life. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Lucas 5:12
And His works He indeed performed among the people, but He prayed for the most part in the wilderness, sanctioning the liberty of resting a while from labor to hold converse with God with a pure heart. For He needed no change or retirement, since there was nothing which could be relaxed in Him, nor any place in which He might confine Himself, for He was God, but it was that we might clearly know that there is a time for action, a time for each higher occupation.
