Jerome, on Matt 26:39
Jerome · c. A.D. 347–420
Matt 26:39 · Douay-Rheims
“And going a little further, he fell upon his face, praying, and saying: My Father, if it be possible, let this chalice pass from me. Nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.”
On this verse:
“This is against those rash persons who think that whatever they believe they can perform. The more confident we are of our zeal, the more mistrustful should we be of the frailty of the flesh.”
