Matthew 4:16
Douay-Rheims
The people that sat in darkness, hath seen great light: and to them that sat in the region of the shadow of death, light is sprung up.
John Chrysostom (attributed)
Otherwise, the Gentiles who worshipped idols, and dæmons, were they who sat in the region of the shadow of death; the Jews, who did the works of the Law, were in darkness, because the righteousness of God was not yet manifested to them.
