Church Fathers on Mark 12:3

After the Lord had closed the mouths of His tempters by a wise question, He next shews their wickedness in a parable.

Gloss (Glossa Ordinaria) · medieval compilation

God the Father is called a man by a human conception. The vineyard is the house of Israel; the hedge is the guardianship of Angels; the winefat is the law, the tower is the temple, and the husbandmen, the priests.

Pseudo-Jerome · 5th century

Or else, the hedge is the wall of the city, the winefat is the altar, or those winefats, by which three psalms receive their name.

Bede · 8th century · in Marc., 3, 42
