- Matthew 18:1
At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
Commentary on Matthew 18:11 voice
(Chapter 18, Verse 1) At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Who do you think is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? This has often been discussed and is still worth considering. We must examine the reasons for each of the Lord's words and actions. After finding the coin, after paying the taxes, what does the sudden question from the apostles mean? At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Who do you think is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
Jerome· Commentary on Matthew, 420Patristic
- Matthew 20:2–14
He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard.
Commentary on Matthew 20:2–142 voices
Chapter 20, Verse 1 onwards: The kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. After agreeing to pay them the usual daily wage, he sent them into his vineyard. Going out again at about the third hour, he saw others standing idle in the marketplace and said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and I will give you whatever is right.' So they went. Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour and did the same.
Jerome· Commentary on Matthew, 420Patristic
He gives to all "their single denarius," which is the grace of the Spirit, perfecting the saints in conformity with God and impressing the heavenly stamp on their souls and leading them to life and immortality.
Cyril of Alexandria· FRAGMENT 226, 444Patristic
- Matthew 22:19–21
Show Me the coin used for the tax.” And they brought Him a denarius.
Commentary on Matthew 22:19–211 voice
Wisdom does ever wisely, and so the tempters are best confuted out of their own words; therefore it follows, show me the tribute money; and they brought unto Him a denarius. This was a coin reckoned equivalent to ten sesterces, and bore the image of Cæsar.
Jerome· Catena Aurea by Aquinas, 420Patristic
- Matthew 28:1
After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb.
Commentary on Matthew 28:12 voices
(Chapter 28, Verse 1) But on the evening of the Sabbath, which dawns on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. The fact that different times of these women are described in the Gospels is not a sign of falsehood, as the wicked claim, but rather the diligent duty of visitation, as they frequently go and come back, and do not allow themselves to be away from the Lord's tomb for a long time or further.
Jerome· Commentary on Matthew, 420Patristic
In the end of the sabbath,.... This clause is by some joined to the last verse of the preceding chapter, but stands better here, as appears from Mar 16:1, and intends not what the Jews call the sabbath eve, for that began the sabbath; but what they call מוצאי שבת, "the goings out of the sabbath"; and as Mark says, Mar 16:1, "when the sabbath was past": that is, when the sun was set, and any stars appeared.

- Mark 6:37
But Jesus told them, “You give them something to eat.” They asked Him, “Should we go out and spend two hundred denarii to give all of them bread to eat?”
Commentary on Mark 6:372 voices
(ubi sup.) Again, in a mystical sense, the Saviour refreshes the hungry crowds at the day's decline, because, either now that the end of the world approaches, or now that the Sun of justice has set in death for us, we are saved from wasting away in spiritual hunger. He calls the Apostles to Him at the breaking of bread, intimating that daily by them our hungry souls are fed, that is, by their letters and examples. By the five loaves are figured the Five Books of Moses, by the two fishes the Psalms and Prophets.
Bede· Catena Aurea by Aquinas, 735Patristic
As man he was put to the test, but as God he came through victorious—yes, he bids us be of good cheer, because he has conquered the world. He hungered—yet he fed thousands. He is indeed "living, heavenly bread." He thirsted—yet he exclaimed: "Whoever thirsts, let him come to me and drink." Indeed he promised that believers would become fountains.
Gregory of Nazianzus· ORATION 29, ON THE SON 20, 390Patristic
- Mark 14:5
It could have been sold for over three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor.” And they scolded her.
Commentary on Mark 14:52 voices
The traitor Judas, who in appearance championed the cause of the poor, said with indignation, "This ointment might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, and the money given to the poor." But in reality he "was a thief, and as he had the money box he used to take what was put into it." If, then, any one in our time who has the money box of the church speaks like Judas as if speaking for the poor, but steals what is placed there, let there be assigned to him the same portion along with Judas.
Origen of Alexandria· COMMENTARY ON MATTHEW 11.9, 253Patristic
For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence,.... Which, was to the value of our money nine pounds, seven shillings, and sixpence: and given to the poor; which was thought to be a better way of expending it, than by pouring it on the head of Christ: and they murmured against her: that she should lavish so much money away in such an imprudent manner; they reproved her for it, expressed much resentment at it, and were very angry with, her upon the account of it; See Gill on Mat 26:8, Mat 26:9.
John Gill· Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)Reformed
- Luke 7:41
“Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
Commentary on Luke 7:411 voice
But in the Pharisee's house, that is, in the house of the Law and the Prophets, not the Pharisee, but the Church is justified. For the Pharisee believed not, the Church believed. The Law has no mystery by which secret faults are cleansed, and therefore that which is wanting in the Law is made up in the Gospel. But the two debtors are the two nations who are responsible for payment to the usurer of the heavenly treasury.
Ambrose of Milan· Catena Aurea by Aquinas, 397Patristic
- Luke 10:35
The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Take care of him,’ he said, ‘and on my return I will repay you for any additional expense.’
Commentary on Luke 10:351 voice
Blessed is that innkeeper who can care for another's wounds. Blessed is he to whom Jesus says, "Whatever you shall spend over and above, I will repay you." A good steward is one who also spends over and above. Paul is a good steward, whose sermons and epistles overflow with the knowledge that he received. He followed the moderate command of the Lord with almost immoderate effort of mind and body, so that he raised many from deep sorrow by the stewardship of spiritual exhortation.
Ambrose of Milan· Commentary on Luke, 397Patristic
