Rabanus Maurus, on Matt 4:5
Rabanus Maurus · c. A.D. 780–856
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:
“It should be noted, that though our Saviour suffered Himself to be placed by the Devil on a pinnacle of the temple, yet refused to come down also at his command, giving us an example, that whosoever bids us ascend the strait way of truth we should obey. But if he would again cast us down from the height of truth and virtue to the depth of error we should not hearken to him.”
