Rabanus Maurus, on Matt 4:3
Rabanus Maurus · c. A.D. 780–856
Matt 4:3 · Douay-Rheims
“And the tempter coming said to him: If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.”
On this verse:
“This verse is quoted from Deuteronomy (c. 8:3). Whoso then feeds not on the Word of God, he lives not; as the body of man cannot live without earthly food, so cannot his soul without God’s word. This word is said to proceed out of the mouth of God, where he reveals His will by Scripture testimonies.”
