Bede the Venerable
Catena Aurea · Lukasevangelium 1
He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; As he spake to our fathers, Abraham, and to his seed for ever.
But by seed he means not so much those who are begotten in the flesh, as those who have followed the steps of Abraham’s faith, to whom the Saviour’s coming was promised for evermore.
