- Genesis 3:6
When the woman saw that the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eyes, and that it was desirable for obtaining wisdom, she took the fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate it.
Commentary on Genesis 3:62 voices
That the Lord then was manifestly coming to His own things, and was sustaining them by means of that creation which is supported by Himself, and was making a recapitulation of that disobedience which had occurred in connection with a tree, through the obedience which was [exhibited by Himself when He hung] upon a tree, [the effects] also of that deception being done away with, by which that virgin Eve, who was already espoused to a man, was unhappily misled,-was happily announced, through means of the truth [spoken] by the angel to the Virgin Mary, who was [also espoused] to a man.
Irenaeus· Against Heresies 5.19.1, 202Patristic

Abraham stepped forward and said, “Will You really sweep away the righteous with the wicked?
Commentary on Genesis 18:23–322 voices
And they turned themselves from there and went towards Sodom; but Abraham still stood before the Lord, and approaching he said: Will you indeed destroy the righteous with the wicked? If fifty righteous are in the city, will they perish along with the rest, until …

- Genesis 32:29
And Jacob requested, “Please tell me your name.” But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed Jacob there.
Commentary on Genesis 32:291 voice
(Verse 29 and 30.) And he blessed him there and called the name of that place Face of God: for I have seen God face to face, and my soul has been saved; in Hebrew it is called Phanuel (), so that we know that it is the same place, which in the other sacred volumes of Scripture, as it is written in Hebrew, is read as Phanuel in Greek.

- Exodus 19:21
and the LORD said to him, “Go down and warn the people not to break through to see the LORD, lest many of them perish.

And the LORD replied, “Go down and bring Aaron with you. But the priests and the people must not break through to come up to the LORD, or He will break out against them.”

- Numbers 4:19
In order that they may live and not die when they come near the most holy things, do this for them: Aaron and his sons are to go in and assign each man his task and what he is to carry.
Commentary on Numbers 4:191 voice
But thus do unto them,.... As after directed: that they may live and not die; live long, and not die a sudden and violent death: when they approach unto the most holy things; the ark, the shewbread table, &c. to take them up and carry them: Aaron and his sons shall go in; into the holy and most holy places: and appoint them in everyone to his service, and to his burden; what everyone shall do, and how they shall take them up, and bear them.

- Numbers 4:20
But the Kohathites are not to go in and look at the holy objects, even for a moment, or they will die.”
Commentary on Numbers 4:201 voice
But they shall not go in to see when the holy things are covered,.... They were not to be present while they were packing up, test they should see any of them with their eyes; they were not to go in until they were quite covered out of sight; which may signify the hiding of the mysteries of grace in those things under the former dispensation, when even the Levites themselves were not admitted to a sight of them; see Eph 3:4, lest they die; by the immediate hand of God.

- Judges 13:17
Then Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, “What is your name, so that we may honor you when your word comes to pass?”
Commentary on Judges 13:171 voice
And Manoah said unto the angel of the Lord, what is thy name,....

- Judges 13:18
“Why do you ask my name,” said the angel of the LORD, “since it is beyond comprehension?”
Commentary on Judges 13:181 voice
And so, too, the word that was spoken to Manoah shows the fact that the Divinity is not comprehensible by the significance of His name, because, when Manoah asks to know His name, that, when the promise has come actually to pass, he may by name glorify his benefactor, He says to him, "Why askest thou this? It also is wonderful"; so that by this we learn that there is one name significant of the Divine Nature—the wonder, namely, that arises unspeakably in our hearts concerning It.
Gregory of Nyssa· AGAINST EUNOMIUS 8.1, 395Patristic
- 1 Samuel 6:19
But God struck down some of the people of Beth-shemesh because they looked inside the ark of the LORD. He struck down seventy men, and the people mourned because the LORD had struck them with a great slaughter.
Commentary on 1 Samuel 6:191 voice
30. Who are the struck-down Beth-shemites, if not heretics deceived by false contemplation? For the Beth-shemites existed not in truth, but in presumption. Therefore, while they presumed to look upon the ark on the stone, they were struck down: because when they, being unworthy, scrutinized the sacraments of our Lord and Redeemer, they were cast down into the snares of eternal damnation through the deceit of their own error. But what does it mean that seventy men of the people, and fifty thousand of the common folk, were struck down?
Gregory the Dialogist· Commentary on 1 Kings, Book 3, Chapter 4, 604Patristic
- 2 Kings 20:13
And Hezekiah received the envoys and showed them all that was in his treasure house—the silver, the gold, the spices, and the precious oil, as well as his armory—all that was found in his storehouses. There was nothing in his palace or in all his dominion that Hezekiah did not show them.
Commentary on 2 Kings 20:131 voice
And assuredly no gold or silver vessel was ever so dear to God as is the temple of a virgin's body. The shadow went before, but now the reality has come. You indeed may speak in all simplicity, and from motives of amiability you may treat with courtesy the truest strangers, but unchaste eyes see nothing aright. They fail to appreciate the beauty of the soul and value only that of the body. Hezekiah showed God's treasure to the Assyrians, who ought never to have seen what they were sure to covet.
Jerome· LETTER 22.23, 420Patristic
- Proverbs 27:20
Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.
Commentary on Proverbs 27:202 voices
Hell and destruction will not be full, etc. The torments of hell will not be filled, by receiving an end; similarly, the intentions of those who are wise in human matters are insatiable in the desire to sin. And hence they pay the penalties without …
Bede· Commentary on Proverbs, 735Patristic
Hell and destruction are never full,.... The grave, as the word used often signifies; and which may be called "destruction", because bodies laid in it are soon corrupted and destroyed; and though bodies are cast into it and devoured by it, it is ready for more; it is one of the four things which never have enough.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- Ecclesiastes 7:21
Do not pay attention to every word that is spoken, or you may hear your servant cursing you.
Commentary on Ecclesiastes 7:212 voices
Here the fourth instruction is touched upon, in which he exhorts to the overlooking of one's own injury: whence one ought not to inquire nor believe every one who reports. Therefore he says: "But also to all the words that are spoken, do not apply …
Bonaventure· Commentary on Ecclesiastes, Chapter 7, 1257Patristic
"Wisdom strengthens the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city. For there is not a just man on the earth, that does good and does not sin. "Therefore wisdom strengthens the righteous, and not even the aid of all the citizens of the city can help him, for although someone may be righteous, yet while he is alive he is subject to vices and sins, and he therefore needs greater protection.
Jerome· Commentary on Ecclesiastes, 420Patristic
- Daniel 12:8
I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, “My lord, what will be the outcome of these things?”
Commentary on Daniel 12:81 voice
"And I heard, and understood not. And I said, 'O my lord, what shall happen after these things?'" The prophet wished to comprehend what he had seen, or rather, what he had heard, and he desired to understand the reality of the things to come. For he had heard of the various wars of kings, and of battles between them, and a detailed narrative of events; but he had not heard the names of the individual persons involved.
Jerome· St. Jerome, Commentary on Daniel, CHAPTER TWELVE, 420Patristic
- Daniel 12:9
“Go on your way, Daniel,” he replied, “for the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end.
Commentary on Daniel 12:91 voice
"And he said, 'Go, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.'" And if the prophet himself heard and did not understand, what will be the case with those men who presumptuously expound a book which has been sealed, and that too unto the time of the end, a book which is shrouded with many obscurities?
Jerome· St. Jerome, Commentary on Daniel, CHAPTER TWELVE, 420Patristic
- Matthew 26:1
When Jesus had finished saying all these things, He told His disciples,
Commentary on Matthew 26:11 voice
The Passover, called in Hebrew Phase, does not come as most think from πασχεῖν 'to suffer,' but from the Hebrew word signifying 'to pass over;' because the destroyer passed over when he saw the blood on the doors of the Israelites, and smote them not; or the Lord Himself walked on high, succouring His people. After the two days of the shining light of the Old and of the New Testament, the true Passover is slain for the world. Also our Passover is celebrated when we leave the things of earth, and hasten to the things of heaven.
Jerome· Catena Aurea by Aquinas, 420Patristic
