On Matthew

20 of 185
  1. Matthew 18:15-17
    (ap. Anselm.) Or, that if he affirm that it is no trespass, that they may prove to him that it is a trespass.

    (ap. Anselm.) Or, tell it to the whole Church, that his infamy may be the greater. After all these things follows excommunication, which ought to be inflicted by the mouth of the Church, that is, by the Priest, and when he excommunicates, the whole Church works with him; as it follows, And if he will not hear the Church, let him by unto thee as an heathen, and a publican.

    (as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274) Catena Aurea by Aquinas

  2. Matthew 18:18-20
    (ap. Anselm.) But He holds out a ratification not only of sentences of excommunication, but of every petition which is offered by men holding together in the unity of the Church; for He adds, Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree upon earth, whether in admitting a penitent, or casting out a forward person, touching any thing which they shall ask, any thing, that is, that is not against the unity of the Church, it shall be done for them by my Father which is in heaven. By saying, which is in heaven, He points Him out as above all, and therefore able to fulfil all that shall be asked of Him. Or, He is in the heavens, that is, with saints, proof enough that whatever worthy thing they shall ask shall be done unto them, because they have with them Him of whom they ask. For this cause is the sentence of those that agree together ratified, because God dwells in them, For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

  3. Matthew 19:1-8
    (interlin.) Or, one flesh, that is in carnal connection.

    (as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274) Catena Aurea by Aquinas

  4. Matthew 19:9
    (ord.) He says this to the terror of him that would take her to wife, for the adulteress would have no fear of disgrace.

    (as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274) Catena Aurea by Aquinas

  5. Matthew 19:10-12
    (ord.) He says this to the terror of him that would take her to wife, for the adulteress would have no fear of disgrace.

    (as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274) Catena Aurea by Aquinas

  6. Matthew 19:13-15
    (non occ.) He laid His hands upon them while men held them, to signify that the grace of His aid was necessary.

    (as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274) Catena Aurea by Aquinas

  7. Matthew 19:23-26
    (ap. Anselm.) The Lord took occasion from this rich man to hold discourse concerning the covetous; Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, &c.

    (ap. Anselm.) It is explained otherwise; That at Jerusalem there was a certain gate, called, The needle's eye, through which a camel could not pass, but on its bended knees, and after its burden had been taken off; and so the rich should not be able to pass along the narrow way that leads to life, till he had put off the burden of sin, and of riches, that is, by ceasing to love them.

    (as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274) Catena Aurea by Aquinas

  8. Matthew 20:1-16
    (non occ. sed vid. Raban.) Or, if you choose, the Father saith unto the Son; for the Father wrought by the Son, and the Son by the Holy Spirit, not that there is any difference of substance, or majesty.

    (as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274) Catena Aurea by Aquinas

  9. Matthew 21:1-9
    (ap. Anselm) Or, The owner of the beasts will straightway send them to be engaged for Christ's service. Hereto is added the testimony of the Prophet, that it may be shown that the Lord fulfilled all things which were written of Him, but that the Scribes and Pharisees, blinded by envy, would not understand the things that they read; All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Prophet; (Zech. 9:9.) to wit, Zacharias.

    (ap. Anselm.) And the meaning is, Blessed, that is, Glorious, is He that cometh, that is, is incarnate; in the name of the Lord; that is, of the Father, by glorifying Him. Again they repeat, Hosanna, that is, Save, I pray thee, and define whither they would bo saved, in the highest, that is in the heavenly, not in the earthly places.

    (as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274) Catena Aurea by Aquinas

  10. Matthew 21:17-22
    (ap. Anselm.) For in permitting His flesh to suffer that which properly pertains to flesh, He fore-shews His passion. Mark the earnest zeal of the active labourer, Who is said to have gone early into the city to preach, and to gain some to His Father.

    (ord.) The Creator does no wrong to the owner, but His creature at His will is converted to the profit of others.

    (as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274) Catena Aurea by Aquinas

  11. Matthew 21:33-44
    (ord.) Or, the Lord whom they killed, came immediately rising from the dead, and brought to an evil end those wicked husbandmen, and gave up His vineyard to other husbandmen, that is, to the Apostles.

    (as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274) Catena Aurea by Aquinas

  12. Matthew 22:1-14
    (interlin.) Answered, that is, meeting their evil thoughts of putting Him to death.

    (interlin.) Or, All things are now ready, i. e. The entrance into the kingdom, which had been hitherto closed, is now ready through faith in My incarnation.

    (as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274) Catena Aurea by Aquinas

  13. Matthew 22:15-22
    (ord.) Who as unknown to Him, were more likely to ensnare Him, and so through them they might take Him, which they feared to do of themselves because of the populace.

    (non occ.) There are three ways in which it is possible for one not to teach the truth. First, on the side of the teacher, who may either not know, or not love the truth; guarding against this, they say, We know that Thou art true. Secondly, on the side of God, there are some who, putting aside all fear of Him, do not utter honestly the truth which they know respecting Him; to exclude this they say, And teachest the way of God in truth. Thirdly, on the side of our neighbour, when through fear or affection any one withholds the truth; to exclude this they say, And carest for no man, for Thou regardest not the person of man.

    (as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274) Catena Aurea by Aquinas

  14. Matthew 22:34-40
    Or, with all thy heart, i. e. understanding; with all thy soul, i.e. thy will; with all thy mind, i.e. memory; so you shall think, will, remember nothing contrary to Him.

    (as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274) Catena Aurea by Aquinas

  15. Matthew 22:40
    Interlin.: Or, “with all thy heart,” i.e. understanding; “with all thy soul,”i.e. thy will; “with all thy mind,” i.e. memory; so you shall think, will, remember nothing contrary to Him. If the Lord had given no answer to the Pharisee who thus tempted Him, we should have judged that there was no commandment greater than the rest. But when the Lord adds, “This is the firstand great commandment,” we learn how we ought to think of the commandments, that there is a great one, and that there are less down to the least. And the Lord says not only that it is a great, but that it is the first commandment, not in order of Scripture, but in supremacy of value. They only take upon them the greatness and supremacy of this precept, who not only love the Lord their God, but add these three conditions. Nor did He only teach the first and great commandment, but added that there was a second like unto the first, “Thou shalt love thyneighbour as thyself:” But if “Whoso loveth iniquity hath hated his own soul,” it is manifest that he does not love his neighbour as himself, when he does not love himself.

  16. Matthew 22:41-46
    (ap. Anselm.) That it is by the Father that the enemies are put under the Son, denotes not the Son's weakness, but the union of His nature with His Father. For the Son also puts under Him the Father's enemies, when He glorifies His name upon earth. He concludes from this authority, If David then call Him Lord, how is He his son?

    (as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274) Catena Aurea by Aquinas

  17. Matthew 23:1-4
    (interlin.) Or, bind burdens, that is, gather traditions from all sides, not to aid, but to burden the conscience.

    (as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274) Catena Aurea by Aquinas

  18. Matthew 23:5-12
    (non occ.) Because it was clear who was the Father of all, by this which was said, Which art in Heaven, He would teach them who was the Master of all, and therefore repeats the same command concerning a master, Neither be ye called masters; for one is your Master, even Christ.

    (as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274) Catena Aurea by Aquinas

  19. Matthew 23:14
    (interlin.) Devour widows' houses, that is, your superstitions have this only aim, namely, to make a gain of the people that is put under you.

    (interlin. Luke 12:47.) Or, because the servant that knew his Lord's will and did it not, shall he beaten with many stripes.

    (as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274) Catena Aurea by Aquinas

  20. Matthew 23:15
    (interlin. Luke 12:47.) Or, because the servant that knew his Lord's will and did it not, shall he beaten with many stripes.
