Pseudo-Jerome, on Mark 1:9
Mark 1:9 · Douay-Rheims
“And it came to pass, in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.”
On this verse:
“Again, the Holy Ghost came down in the shape of a dove, because in the Canticles it is sung of the Church: (Cant. passim.) My bride, my love, my beloved, my dove. Bride in the Patriarchs, love in the Prophets, near of kin in Joseph and Mary, beloved in John the Baptist, dove in Christ and His Apostles: to whom it is said, Be ye wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. (Mat. 10:16)”
