Augustine of Hippo, on 1Pet 2:21
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
1Pet 2:21 · Douay-Rheims
“For unto this are you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example that you should follow his steps.”
On this verse:
“Christ taught you to suffer, and he did so by suffering himself. Words would not be enough unless example were added. And how, precisely did he teach us, brothers and sisters? He was hanging on the cross, and the Jews were raging … he was hanging there, yet at the same time he was healing them.”
