- Job 33:24
to be gracious to him and say, ‘Spare him from going down to the Pit; I have found his ransom,’
Commentary on Job 33:242 voices
Then he is gracious to him,.... To the sick man; either the messenger or the minister that is with him, who pities his case and prays for him; and by some the following words are supposed to be a prayer of his, "deliver me", &c. since one find in the Gospel there is a ransom for such persons.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
"He (God) will have mercy on him," on the man afflicted, "and he will say," that is, he will order the angel, "Deliver him," for just as he is the one who brings forward the justice of man in the presence of God, so also …
Thomas Aquinas· Commentary on Job, 1274Patristic
- Job 36:18
Be careful that no one lures you with riches; do not let a large bribe lead you astray.
Commentary on Job 36:181 voice
[MORAL INTERPRETATION] Having given rapidly a figurative exposition of these words, we must now gather their moral meaning; that, having learned the figure of the Church, which we believe to be generally described, we may learn what we may specially gather from these words in each single case. He says therefore, Let not, therefore, anger overcome thee, to oppress any one. Every one, who is required to correct the vices of others, ought first of all to look carefully into himself; lest, while punishing others' faults, he himself should be overcome by his zeal for punishment.
Gregory the Dialogist· Morals on the Book of Job, Book XXVI, 604Patristic
- Psalms 49:7
No man can possibly redeem his brother or pay his ransom to God.
Commentary on Psalms 49:72 voices
Just as there is one God, "so too there is only one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." He is unique. He alone redeems humankind. He goes far beyond brotherly love, for he sheds his own blood for strangers. None other could offer him for his brother. To redeem us from sin, he did not spare his own body "but gave himself as redemption for all." … Why, you might ask, is Christ the only one who redeems?
Ambrose of Milan· Commentaries on the Twelve Davidic Psalms, On Psalm 49, 397Patristic
None of them can by any means redeem his brother,.... That is, "with their substance", or "riches", as the Targum and Jarchi supply. Some, according to the order of the words in the original, render them, "a brother redeeming cannot redeem a man", or "anyone" (q): but, as Aben Ezra observes, אח, "a brother", is the effect, and איש, "a man", is the cause. The Targum is, "his brother that is a captive, a man redeeming cannot redeem with his substance"; or by any means redeem.

- Psalms 49:8
For the redemption of his soul is costly, and never can payment suffice,
Commentary on Psalms 49:81 voice
Sin is worse than everything; it is this that must be feared, not the possibility of being in need of money, since a person who is rich and in the grip of a multitude of sins is in real difficulty and does not find release …
Theodore of Mopsuestia· COMMENTARY ON PSALMS 49:6B-9, 428Patristic
- Proverbs 6:35
He will not be appeased by any ransom, or persuaded by lavish gifts.
Commentary on Proverbs 6:351 voice
He will not regard any ransom,.... So that his case is much worse than, a thief's; if he is taken, he makes restitution according to law, and he is freed, and no more is said and done to him; and, at most, it is but parting with all the goods in his house; but in this case it will not do.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- Proverbs 13:8
Riches may ransom a man’s life, but a poor man hears no threat.
Commentary on Proverbs 13:81 voice
A man's riches ought to avail to the ransom of his soul, not to its destruction. And a treasure is a ransom, if a man use it well; on the other hand it is a snare, if a man know not how to use it. What is a man's money to him but a provision for his journey? Much is a burthen, a little is useful.
Ambrose of Milan· Letters 1-10, 397Patristic
- Isaiah 35:10
So the redeemed of the LORD will return and enter Zion with singing, crowned with everlasting joy. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee.
Commentary on Isaiah 35:102 voices
And the ransomed of the Lord shall return,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
[God] is the same one who said to Jeremiah, "Behold, I place my words in your mouth as a fire." David, therefore, also received this tongue of fire, so that he could speak of divine knowledge while enkindled with zeal: "Make known to me my end, O Lord." He was not here asking about his own death or about the final resurrection.
Ambrose of Milan· Commentaries on the Twelve Davidic Psalms 38.16, 397Patristic
- Isaiah 51:10
Was it not You who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep, who made a road in the depths of the sea for the redeemed to cross over?
Commentary on Isaiah 51:102 voices
For it is you who struck down the proud, wounded the dragon, the king indeed of Egypt Pharaoh, who is also called the great dragon in Ezekiel (Ezek. XXIX). You dried up the Red Sea, so that through the raging waters and deep sea, your people could find a way and escape the pursuing Egyptians. Therefore, you who did these things: now also bring back those redeemed and liberated by your blood to Zion and the heavenly Jerusalem, or to the Church which you prepared for yourself with your blood.
Jerome· Commentary on Isaiah, 420Patristic
(Vers. 9 seqq.) Arise, arise; put on the strength of the arm of the Lord. Arise as in the days of old, in the generations of ages. Have you not struck down the proud, wounded the dragon? Have you not dried up the sea, the water of the great abyss, who made the depths of the sea a path, so that the redeemed might pass over?
Jerome· Commentary on Isaiah, 420Patristic
- Hosea 13:14
I will ransom them from the power of Sheol; I will redeem them from Death. Where, O Death, are your plagues? Where, O Sheol, is your sting? Compassion is hidden from My eyes.
Commentary on Hosea 13:141 voice
No one could know Wisdom; for no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son, and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him. Therefore, He Himself revealed to John with whom Wisdom was; and for this reason, he said, not as his own, but what Wisdom had infused in him: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God. Wisdom does not know destruction, it does not know wickedness. For destruction could not hold it, who said: Where, O death, is your victory?
Ambrose of Milan· The Prayer of Job and David 1:9.31, 397Patristic
- Matthew 20:28
just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”
Commentary on Matthew 20:281 voice
(Verse 28) Just as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve. Note that we have frequently said that the one who serves is called the Son of Man. And to give his life as a ransom for many. When he assumed the form of a servant, in order to shed his blood for the world (Philippians 2). He did not say that he would give his life as a ransom for all, but for many, that is, for those who would be willing to believe.
Jerome· Commentary on Matthew, 420Patristic
- 1 Timothy 2:6
who gave Himself as a ransom for all—the testimony that was given at just the right time.
Commentary on 1 Timothy 2:61 voice
Now I write these things unto you, not that I know there are any such persons among you; nay, indeed I hope that God will never permit any such report to reach my ears, He "who spared not His Son for the sake of His holy Church." But foreseeing the snares of the wicked one, I arm you beforehand by my admonitions, as my beloved and faithful children in Christ, furnishing you with the means of protection against the deadly disease of unruly men, by which do ye flee from the disease [referred to] by the good-will of Christ our Lord.
