Hello everyone. I have a question. I have come across some references to Hilary of Poitiers' Commentary on the Gospel of Matthew. One such quote:
Hilary of Poitiers commenting on Matthew 9:3: "It disturbed the scribes that sin was forgiven by a man (for they considered that Jesus Christ was only a man) and that sin was forgiven by Him whereas the Law was not able to absolve it, since faith alone justifies."
Latin text: Movet scribas remissum ab homine peccatum: hominem enim tantum in Iesu Christo contuebantur et remissum est ab eo quod lex laxare non poterat; fides enim sola iustificat. Sancti Hilarii In Evangelium Matthaei Commentarius, Caput VIII, §6, PL 9:961A.
Here is the thing. I want to find the original source so I can read it, but I have not been able to find it anywhere. Does anyone know where I can find the commentary on Matthew either in english translation or the original latin?
Thanks so much.
God bless,
--Ben
