Song of Songs 3:1

Verse 1. Bed. The Church, finding Christ by his own revelation, and not by philosophy, holds him fast. Worthington.—He had delayed coming at the usual hour, to give us to understand, that he is not found amid delights, nor in a crowd, but that we must seek him diligently, like Magdalene. John 20. Saint Ambrose de Isaac.—The apostles endeavoured to convert the synagogue, but their offers were rejected, and the guards, or princes, persecuted them. Menochius. Calmet. 5:7. Bible.
