| 4848 First edited in Latin by Corderius,
afterwards in Greek by Grabe, and also by Dr. Cramer in his Catena
on St. Luke. | that, by means of the grain of mustard seed in
the parable, the heavenly doctrine is denoted which is sown like seed in
the world, as in a field, [seed] which has an inherent force, fiery and
powerful. For the Judge of the whole world is thus proclaimed, who,
having been hidden in the heart of the earth in a tomb for three days,
and having become a great tree, has stretched forth His branches to the
ends of the earth. Sprouting out from Him, the twelve apostles, having
become fair and fruitful boughs, were made a shelter for the nations as
for the fowls of heaven, under which boughs, all having taken refuge, as
birds flocking to a nest, have been made partakers of that wholesome and
celestial food which is derived from them.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
