Jerome, on Matt 10:24
Jerome · c. A.D. 347–420
Matt 10:24 · Douay-Rheims
“The disciple is not above the master, nor the servant above his lord.”
On this verse:
“Beelzebub is the idol of Accaron who is called in the book of Kings, the God of flies; ‘Bel,’ signifying idol; (2 Kings 1:3.) ‘zebub,’ a fly. The Prince of the dæmons He calls by the name of the foulest of idols, which is so called because of the uncleanness of the fly, which destroys the sweetness of ointment.”
