Matthew 1:24 Douay-Rheims

And Joseph rising up from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and took unto him his wife.

Remigius of Auxerre

c. A.D. 841–908 Medieval

Life returned by the same entrance through which death had entered in. By Adam’s disobedience we were ruined, by Joseph’s obedience we all begin to be recalled to our former condition; for in these words is commended to us the great virtue of obedience, when it is said, And Joseph rising from sleep, did as the Angel of the Lord had commanded him.
