Augustine of Hippo, on Matt 1:16
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
Matt 1:16 · Douay-Rheims
“And Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.”
On this verse:
“(De Nupt. et Concup. i. 11.) In Christ’s parents was accomplished every good benefit of marriage, fidelity, progeny, and a sacrament. The progeny we see in the Lord Himself; fidelity, for there was no adultery; sacrament, for there was no divorce.”
