Cyril of Alexandria: Fragments on Matthew · §3

Matthew 17:11–12

That is why the genealogy’s names run through men: “the woman is the glory of the man,” an accompaniment, not the man’s beginning.

Greek

∆είκνυσιν ὁ Χριστὸς τοὺς Ἰουδαίους λίαν ἀγνοοῦντας τὰς γραφάς, ἐξ ὧν τὸν Ἰωάννην οὐκ ἔγνωσαν, τοῦτ' ἔστιν τὸν πρῶτον Ἠλίαν τὸν "τὴν ὁδὸν ἑτοιμάσαντα τοῦ κυρίου", ὃν ἀγνοοῦντες καὶ ἀποκτείναντες τὸν τοῦ Χριστοῦ πρόδρομον καὶ αὐτὸν ἠγνόησαν τὸν κύριον καὶ ἀπέ κτειναν αὐτόν.
