Rabanus Maurus, on Matt 18:21
Rabanus Maurus · c. A.D. 780–856
Matt 18:21 · Douay-Rheims
“Then came Peter unto him and said: Lord, how often shall my brother offend against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?”
On this verse:
“It is one thing to give pardon to a brother when he seeks it, that he may live with us in social charity, as Joseph to his brethren; and another to a hostile foe, that we may wish him good, and if we can do him good, as David mourning for Saul.”
