Eastern Fathers
Theophylact of Ohrid

Western Saints
Bede

Bonaventure
But certain of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done: whence by one and the same event, some advanced and others fell away: 2 Corinthians 2: "To some we are the odor of death unto death, to others the odor of life unto life"; therefore Luke 2: "Behold, this one is set for the ruin and the resurrection of many in Israel."
