Matthew 9:36
Douay-Rheims
And seeing the multitudes, he had compassion on them: because they were distressed, and lying like sheep that have no shepherd.
Remigius of Auxerre
Understand, ‘of God;’ for though temporal blessings are also proclaimed, yet they are not called The Gospel. Hence the Law was not called a Gospel, because to such as kept it, it held out not heavenly, but earthly, goods.
