And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them,
Wherever the body is, there will the vultures be gathered together.
All Commentaries on Luke 17:37 Go To Luke 17
Ambrose of Milan
AD 397
He says concerning this body, “My flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.” Around this body, eagles fly on spiritual wings. Around the body, eagles believe that Jesus has come in the flesh, because every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God. Where faith is, there is the sacrament and the dwelling place of holiness. The body is also the church, in which we are renewed in the spirit through the grace of baptism, and the frailties of old age are restored for ages of new life.
