Remigius of Auxerre, on Matt 18:23

Remigius of Auxerre · c. A.D. 841–908

Matt 18:23 · Douay-Rheims

“Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened to a king, who would take an account of his servants.”

On this verse:

“Or, by the kingdom of heaven is reasonably understood the holy Church, in which the Lord works what He speaks of in this parable. By the man is sometimes represented the Father, as in that, The kingdom of heaven is like to a king, who made a marriage for his son; and sometimes the Son; but here we may take it for both, the Father and the Son, who are one God. God is called a King, inasmuch as He created and governs all things.”
