Augustine of Hippo, on Matt 26:20

Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
Matt 26:20 · Douay-Rheims
“But when it was evening, he sat down with his twelve disciples.”
On this verse:
“(Quæst. Ev. i. 40.) And if it be contended that there is a life before this life, that will prove that not only not for Judas, but for none other is it good to have been born. Can it mean, that it were better for him not to have been born to the Devil, namely, for sin? Or does it mean that it had been good for him not to have been born to Christ at his calling, that he should now become apostate?”
