Augustine of Hippo, on Matt 13:51
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
Matt 13:51 · Douay-Rheims
“Have ye understood all these things? They say to him: Yes.”
On this verse:
“(De Civ. Dei, xx. 4.) He said not ‘old and new,’ as He surely would have said had He not preferred to preserve the order of value rather than of time. But the Manichæans while they think they should keep only the new promises of God, remain in the old man of the flesh, and put on newness of error.”
