Augustine of Hippo, on Luke 10:29
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
Luke 10:29 · Douay-Rheims
“But he willing to justify himself, said to Jesus: And who is my neighbour?”
On this verse:
“(ubi sup.) He fell then among robbers, that is, the devil and his angels, who through the disobedience of the first man, stripped the race of mankind of the ornaments of virtue, and wounded him, that is, by ruining the gift of the power of free will. Hence it follows, who stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, for to that man sinning he gave a wound, but to us many wounds, since to one sin which we contract we add many.”
