Cyril of Alexandria: Fragments on Matthew · §38

Matthew 5:14

“A city cannot [be hidden]”: those established on the faith as on a high mountain ought not to speak the word secretly or with cowardice.

Greek

Εἰρηνοποιός ἐστιν ὁ τὴν ἄλλοις φαινομένην μάχην τῶν γραφῶν ἀποδεικνὺς συμφωνίαν, παλαιῶν πρὸς καινάς, νομικῶν πρὸς προφητι κάς, εὐαγγελικῶν πρὸς εὐαγγελικάς. διὸ μιμησάμενος τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ θεοῦ υἱὸς κληθήσεται ἔργῳ τὸ "πνεῦμα" τῆς "υἱοθεσίας" λαβών.
