Medieval A.D. 908 · Catena Aurea: Gospel of Matthew, as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Matthew 10:1-4

Remigius of Auxerre, on Matt 10:1

Remigius of Auxerre · c. A.D. 841–908

Matt 10:1 · Douay-Rheims

“And having called his twelve disciples together, he gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of diseases, and all manner of infirmities.”

On this verse:

“(e Beda.) Thomas is interpreted ‘an abyss,’ or ‘a twin,’ which in Greek is Didymus. Rightly is Didymus interpreted an abyss, for the longer he doubted the more deeply did he believe the effect of the Lord’s passion, and the mystery of His Divinity, which forced him to cry, My Lord and my God. (John 20:28.) Matthew is interpreted ‘given,’ because by the Lord’s bounty he was made an Evangelist of a Publican.”
