On Matthew
“Art thou he who is to come, or do we look for another?”
On the doubt of John the Baptist.
Gregory, in book 40 of the Homilies, homily six, seems to charge John the Baptist with doubting about two articles of the Christian faith — namely, whether Christ would die, and whether he would descend to the underworld. See below, Annotation 144.
