On Matthew
“The book of the generation of JESUS CHRIST.”
Sacred reading.
Chrysostom, homily 2 on Matthew — in which he expounds the beginning of this Gospel — not far from the end asserts that the reading and study of divine Scripture pertains more to secular [laypeople] than to monks, and is more necessary to the former than to the latter. See what we have annotated on this below, at Annotation 152.
