Augustine of Hippo, on Matt 9:9
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
Matt 9:9 · Douay-Rheims
“And when Jesus passed on from hence, he saw a man sitting in the custom house, named Matthew; and he saith to him: Follow me. And he rose up and followed him.”
On this verse:
“(De Cons. Ev. ii. 26.) Or, perhaps it is more probable that Matthew here turns back to relate something that he had omitted; and we may suppose Matthew to have been called before the sermon on the mount; for on the mount, as Luke relates, the twelve, whom He also named Apostles, were chosen.”
