Rabanus Maurus, on Matt 5:17
Rabanus Maurus · c. A.D. 780–856
Matt 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.”
On this verse:
“He fitly mentions the Greek iota, and not the Hebrew jod, because the iota stands in Greek for the number ten, and so there is an allusion to the Decalogue of which the Gospel is the point and perfection.”
