Lucas 4

Gregory of Nyssa · Comentário Patrístico (catena)

Lucas 4:4

[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (in Eccles. Hom. 5.) Virtue then is not sustained by bread, nor by flesh does the soul keep itself in health and vigour, but by other banquets than these is the heavenly life fostered, and increased. The nourishment of the good man is chastity, his bread, wisdom, his herbs, justice, his drink, freedom from passion, his delight, (εὐφροσύνη quasi ex εὐφρόνειν) to be rightly wise. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas

Lucas 4:13

[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (ubi sup.) In lawful contests the battle is terminated either when the adversary surrenders of his own accord to the conqueror, or is defeated in three falls, according to the rules of the art of fighting. Hence it follows, And all the temptation being completed, &c. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
