Salmos 22

Theodoret of Cyrus · Comentário Patrístico (catena)

Salmos 22:1

Just as the one who was a fount of righteousness assumed our sin, and the one who was an ocean of blessing accepted a curse lying on us and scorning shame endured a cross, so too he uttered the words on our behalf. — COMMENTARY ON THE PSALMS 22:3

Salmos 22:6

I am like a worm, he is saying, seen to be worthless and become a laughingstock. Now, some claimed that by "worm" is suggested also the birth from a virgin, as it is not by intercourse that it comes into existence; but I believe only lowliness is indicated here. — COMMENTARY ON THE PSALMS 22:6

Salmos 22:12

The psalm describes in advance the attacks of the chief priests, the scribes and the Pharisees, who in imitation of the audacity of bulls and the frenzy of lions hemmed in Christ the Lord. — COMMENTARY ON THE PSALMS 22:8

Salmos 22:16

After the passion those former "dogs" took on the status of children through faith, whereas those who once had enjoyed the care shown to children received the name of dogs for raging against the Lord.… Blessed Paul cries out about them, "Beware of the dogs, beware of the evildoers. Beware of mutilation." — COMMENTARY ON THE PSALMS 22:10

Salmos 22:27

Not one nation or even two, but countless numbers of all those in the world will run to him, and will enthusiastically receive the rays of the knowledge of God. — COMMENTARY ON THE PSALMS 22:16

Salmos 22:31

We see none of this happening to David or to any of his successors. Only Christ the Lord, on the contrary, who is of David according to the flesh, God the Word who became man, who though of David's line took the form of a slave; he filled all earth and sea with the knowledge of God, after all, and persuaded those who were once in error and offered adoration to idols to adore the true God instead of false gods. — COMMENTARY ON THE PSALMS 22:18
