CommentAugustine of HippoPublic domainLuke 3:23–38

He sufficiently declared by this that he called not Joseph the son of Eli because he was begotten by him, but rather because he was adopted by him, for he has called also Adam himself son, since though made by God, yet by grace (which he forfeited by sin) he was placed as a son in paradise.

Reproduced in full. Translation: Oxford 1841 (Newman), public domain (Public domain).
