Mateus 9
Glossa Ordinaria
Mateus 9:6
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (ap. Anselm.) These words That ye may know, may be either Christ's words, or the Evangelist's words. As though the Evangelist had said, They doubted whether He could remit sins, But that ye may know that the Son of Man hath the power to remit sins, he saith to the paralytic. If they are the words of Christ, the connection will be as follows; You doubt that I have power to remit sins, But that ye may know that the Son of Man hath power to remit sins—the sentence is imperfect, but the action supplies the place of the consequent clause, he saith to the paralytic, Rise, take up thy bed. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Mateus 9:9
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (ap. Anselm.) He says, sitting at the receipt of custom, that is, in the place where the tolls were collected. He was named Telonarius, from a Greek word signifying taxes. (non occ.) Matthew places his calling among the miracles; for a great miracle it was, a Publican becoming an Apostle. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Mateus 9:10
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (ap. Anselm.) As a meet return for the heavenly mercy, Matthew prepared a great feast for Christ in his house, bestowing his temporal goods on Him of whom he looked to receive everlasting goods. It follows, And it came to pass as he sat at meat in the house. (ap. Anselm.) The Publicans were they who were engaged in public business, which seldom or never can be carried on without sin. And a beautiful omen of the future, that he that was to be an Apostle and doctor of the Gentiles, at his first conversion draws after him a great multitude of sinners to salvation, already performing by his example what he was shortly to perform by word. (ord.) Tertullian says that these must have been Gentiles, because Scripture says, There shall be no payer of tribute in Israel, as if Matthew were not a Jew. But the Lord did not sit down to meat with Gentiles, being more especially careful not to break the Law, as also He gave commandment to His disciples below, Go not into the way of the Gentiles. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Mateus 9:13
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (ap. Anselm.) Yet does not God contemn sacrifice, but sacrifice without mercy. But the Pharisees often offered sacrifices in the temple that they might seem to men to be righteous, but did not practise the deeds of mercy by which true righteousness is proved. (ap. Anselm.) Or; Those who were righteous, as Nathanael and John the Baptist, were not to be invited to repentance. Or. I came not to call the righteous, that is, the feignedly righteous, those who boasted of their righteousness as the Pharisees, but those that owned themselves sinners. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Mateus 9:14
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (ap. Anselm.) When He had replied to them respecting eating and converse with sinners, they next assault Him on the matter of food; Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but thy disciples fast not? — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Mateus 9:16
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (ap. Anselm.) As much as to say, An undressed patch, that is, a new one, ought not to be put into an old garment, because it often takes away from the garment its wholeness, that is, its perfection, and then the rent is made worse. For a heavy burden laid on one that is untrained often destroys that good which was in him before. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Mateus 9:17
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (non occ.) This shows that the Apostles being hereafter to be replenished with newness of grace, ought not now to be bound to the old observances. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Mateus 9:22
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (ap. Anselm.) This must be understood as the time in which she touched the hem of His garment, not in which Jesus turned to her; for she was already healed, as the other Evangelists testify, and as may be inferred from the Lord's words. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Mateus 9:23

[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (ap. Anselm.) The harvest are those men who can be reaped by the preachers, and separated from the number of the damned, as grain is beaten out from the chaff that it may be laid up in granaries. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
