Mateus 4
Ambrose of Milan · Comentário Patrístico (catena)
Mateus 4:3-4
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (in Luc. c. iv. 3.) He begins with that which had once been the means of his victory, the palate; If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones become loaves. What means such a beginning as this, but that he knew that the Son of God was to come, yet believed not that He was come on account of His fleshly infirmity. His speech is in part that of an enquirer, in part that of a tempter; he professes to believe Him God, he strives to deceive Him as man. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Mateus 4:6
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] But as Satan transfigures himself into an Angel of light, and spreads a snare for the faithful, even from the divine Scriptures, so now he uses its texts, not to instruct but to receive. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Mateus 4:8-9
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (in Luc. c. iv. 11.) Ambition has its dangers at home; that it may govern, it is first others' slave; it bows in flattery that it may rule in honour; and while it would be exalted, it is made to stoop. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
