And he said unto the disciples,
The days will come, when you shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and you shall not see it.

Cyril of Alexandria
AD 444
That they might know that he was about first to undergo his saving passion, abolish death by the death of his flesh, put away the sin of the world, destroy the ruler of this world, ascend to the Father and in due time appear to judge the world in righteousness, he says that he must first suffer many things. Commentary on Luke, Homily
