Glossa Ordinaria

AD 1480
It was necessary that after the teaching which he used to the common people, the Evangelist should give an example of the doctrine he delivered to the more advanced; therefore he says, “Seeing many of the Pharisees”Isid. Hisp. Orig. 8. 4: The Pharisees and Sadducees opposed to one another; Pharisee in the Hebrew signifies, ‘divided; 'because choosing the justification of traditions and observances they were ‘divided 'or ‘separated’ from the people by this righteousness. Sadducee in the Hebrew means ‘just;’ for these laid claim to be what they were not, denied the resurrection of the body, and taught that the soul perished with the body; they only received the Pentateuch, and rejected the Prophets. If they ye would escape this wrath, “Bring forth fruits meet for repentance.”. ord.: It is faith’s first lesson to believe that God is able to do whatever He will.
