Glossa Ordinaria

Mateus 22:1

[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (interlin.) Answered, that is, meeting their evil thoughts of putting Him to death. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas

Mateus 22:4

[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (interlin.) Or, All things are now ready, i. e. The entrance into the kingdom, which had been hitherto closed, is now ready through faith in My incarnation. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas

Mateus 22:16

[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (ord.) Who as unknown to Him, were more likely to ensnare Him, and so through them they might take Him, which they feared to do of themselves because of the populace. (non occ.) There are three ways in which it is possible for one not to teach the truth. First, on the side of the teacher, who may either not know, or not love the truth; guarding against this, they say, We know that Thou art true. Secondly, on the side of God, there are some who, putting aside all fear of Him, do not utter honestly the truth which they know respecting Him; to exclude this they say, And teachest the way of God in truth. Thirdly, on the side of our neighbour, when through fear or affection any one withholds the truth; to exclude this they say, And carest for no man, for Thou regardest not the person of man. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas

Mateus 22:37

[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] Or, with all thy heart, i. e. understanding; with all thy soul, i.e. thy will; with all thy mind, i.e. memory; so you shall think, will, remember nothing contrary to Him. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas

Mateus 22:40

Interlin.: Or, "with all thy heart," i.e. understanding; "with all thy soul,"i.e. thy will; "with all thy mind," i.e. memory; so you shall think, will, remember nothing contrary to Him. If the Lord had given no answer to the Pharisee who thus tempted Him, we should have judged that there was no commandment greater than the rest. But when the Lord adds, "This is the firstand great commandment," we learn how we ought to think of the commandments, that there is a great one, and that there are less down to the least. And the Lord says not only that it is a great, but that it is the first commandment, not in order of Scripture, but in supremacy of value. They only take upon them the greatness and supremacy of this precept, who not only love the Lord their God, but add these three conditions. Nor did He only teach the first and great commandment, but added that there was a second like unto the first, "Thou shalt love thyneighbour as thyself:" But if "Whoso loveth iniquity hath hated his own soul," it is manifest that he does not love his neighbour as himself, when he does not love himself.

Mateus 22:44

[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (ap. Anselm.) That it is by the Father that the enemies are put under the Son, denotes not the Son's weakness, but the union of His nature with His Father. For the Son also puts under Him the Father's enemies, when He glorifies His name upon earth. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas

Mateus 22:45

[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (ap. Anselm.) He concludes from this authority, If David then call Him Lord, how is He his son? — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
