“There appeared an angel of the Lord, strengthening him.”

Annotation CLIX

”There appeared an angel of the Lord, strengthening him.” — Luke 22:43

The consoling apparition of the angel.

Thomas Cajetan, interpreting these [words], Ambrose [Catharinus] refutes, in book 3, with these words: “Cajetan notes that Jerome does not think this apparition of the angel altogether certain: which is most false. Nay, he proves and cites [it] as certain — although he says [it] is absent in many codices. But this does not prove that Jerome did not hold [it] as certain.” Concerning this we have written in book 1, section 2.
