Matt 12:9 · Douay-Rheims
“And when he has passed from thence, he came into their synagogues.”
On this verse:
“All healing is done by the word; and the hand is restored as the other; that is, made like to the ministry of the Apostles in the business of bestowing salvation; and it teaches the Pharisees that they should not be displeased that the work of human salvation is done by the Apostles, seeing that if they would believe, their own hand would be made able to the ministry of the same duty.”
