Jerome, on Matt 27:45
Jerome · c. A.D. 347–420
Matt 27:45 · Douay-Rheims
“Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over the whole earth, until the ninth hour.”
On this verse:
“It was a mark of Divine power in Him thus to dismiss the Spirit as Himself had said, No man can take my life from me, but I lay it down and take it again. (John 10:18.) For by the ghost in this place we understand the soul; so called either because it is that which makes the body quick or spiritual, or because the substance of the soul itself is spirit, according to that which is written, Thou takest away their breath, and they die. (Ps. 104:29.)”
