Matthew 5:17
Douay-Rheims
Do not think that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
Remigius of Auxerre
Amen is a Hebrew word, and may be rendered in Latin, ‘vere,’ ‘fidenter,’ or ‘fiat;’ that is, ‘truly,’ ‘faithfully,’ or ‘so be it.’ The Lord uses it either because of the hardness of heart of those who were slow to believe, or to attract more particularly the attention of those that did believe.
