Because the judge of all did not find truth in judgment, but, without any fault, was condemned by the clamor of the Jews and the voice of Pilate.<br/><i>— Commentary on Acts</i></p><p><b>Bede</b>: Who shall declare his generation? Either it is to be understood of his divinity that it is impossible to know the mysteries of his divine birth, of which the Father speaks: I have begotten you from the womb before the morning star (Psalms 110); or of the Virgin's birth, which can be explained with difficulty. To Mary, seeking the reason, it is said through the angel: The Holy Spirit will come upon you. So either the angel or the evangelist should declare only the sacraments of his birth, who is a rare narrator.<br/><i>— Commentary on Acts</i></p><p><b>Bede</b>: For his life will be taken from the earth. So that he would live not on earth, but in heaven.<br/><i>— Commentary on Acts</i></p><p><b>Oecumenius</b>: The phrase, \"In his humiliation his judgment was taken away,\" indicates the unlawful judgment that was made against him, the truth of which was hidden. [THEODORE OF HERACLEA]<br/><i>— Commentary on Acts</i></p><p><b>Oecumenius</b>: And the question, \"Who will declare his generation?\" when brought forward shows him to be without genealogy. For he was indeed without genealogy as God, and born according to the flesh as one recorded. That is, who will be able adequately to relate in words the trial that occurred after the resurrection, and his noble worth, which the trial of those managed by him demonstrated? He was subjected to death, and by his grace he gave life to all into incorruption, and redeemed by faith. [THEODORE OF HERACLEA]<br/><i>— Commentary on Acts</i></p><p><b>Oecumenius</b>: Then he says, \"For his life is taken from the earth,\" that is, it is lifted up, and his life is higher than the things on earth, that is, his society. It is also taken in another sense, and his life is above all, that is, the existence of the Only-Begotten, when thought of apart from the flesh and not yet become toward us. [CYRIL]<br/><i>— Commentary on Acts</i></p><p><b>Oecumenius</b>: For his life, having voluntarily descended unto death, was taken up from the earth, was raised upward, and ascended above the heavens (Ps. 8:3), because he was a king of glory, and his life by nature, and Lord of hosts; even if because of the providence concerning us and the voluntary self-emptying, who endured on earth the dishonor and obscurity due to his suffering, this may reasonably be ascribed to him because of the flesh united to him according to hypostasis and inseparably, with respect to which was the passion, and therefore came the dishonor mentioned above; bold as it was on the part of God regarding the incarnate one, yet unable to touch the impassible, which is impossible.
