Cyril of Alexandria: Fragments on Matthew · §263

Matthew 26:32

He did not leave the disciples to remain only as far as the gloomy things; he foretells the resurrection, loosing their grief, and promises to go before them into Galilee, by which he signifies that he is about to depart from the Jews and transfer to the nations. He does not appear from heaven immediately — which is also why he appeared there.

Greek

Εἰπὼν τοῦτο δείκνυσιν ἑαυτοῦ τὸ θεοπρεπὲς καὶ ἐν ἀνθρωπίνῃ μορφῇ ὤν· καὶ γὰρ περὶ τοῦ θεοῦ εἶπεν Μωυσῆς· "διεὶς τὰς πτέρυγας αὐτοῦ ἐδέξατο αὐτούς"· καὶ πάλιν ∆αβίδ· "οἱ δὲ υἱοὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐν σκέπῃ τῶν πτερύγων σου ἐλπιοῦσιν".
