Jerome, on Matt 9:1
Jerome · c. A.D. 347–420
Matt 9:1 · Douay-Rheims
“And entering into a boat, he passed over the water and came into his own city.”
On this verse:
“Whether or no his sins were forgiven He alone could know who forgave; but whether he could rise and walk, not only himself but they that looked on could judge of; but the power that heals, whether soul or body, is the same. And as there is a great difference between saying and doing, the outward sign is given that the spiritual effect may be proved; But that ye may know that the Son of Man hath power on earth to forgive sins.”
