Gregory the Great, on Matt 4:5
Gregory the Great · c. A.D. 540–604
Matt 4:5 · Douay-Rheims
“Then the devil took him up into the holy city, and set him upon the pinnacle of the temple,”
On this verse:
“(ubi sup.) Behold when it is said that this God was taken by the Devil into the holy city, pious ears tremble to hear, and yet the Devil is head and chief among the wicked; what wonder that He suffered Himself to be led up a mountain by the wicked one himself, who suffered Himself to be crucified by his members.”
