Pseudo-Chrysostom, on Matt 2:3
Matt 2:3 · Douay-Rheims
“And king Herod hearing this, was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.”
On this verse:
“Both have their own causes of jealousy, both fear a successor in their kingdom; Herod an earthly successor, the Devil a spiritual. Even Jerusalem is troubled, which should have rejoiced at that news, when a Jewish King was said to be risen up. But they were troubled, for the wicked cannot rejoice at the coming of the good. Or perhaps it was in fear that Herod should wreak his wrath against a Jewish King on his race.”
