Augustine of Hippo, on Matt 27:51
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
Matt 27:51 · Douay-Rheims
“And behold the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top even to the bottom, and the earth quaked, and the rocks were rent.”
On this verse:
“(de Cons. Ev. iii. 20.) It is no contradiction here that Matthew says, that The centurion and they that were with him, watching Jesus, feared when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done; while Luke says, that he wondered at the giving up the ghost with a loud voice. For when Matthew adds, the things that were done, this gives full scope for Luke’s expression, that he wondered at the Lord’s death, for this among the rest was wonderful.”
