Recapitulation — Jesus finishes what Moses began§1

1Last homily: Moses began; Jesus finished. The law is shadow; Christ is truth. Jordan’s crossing is baptism; Jericho the world; the lots are gifts.

Latin · §1

Ultima homilia: Moyses incohavit, Iesus consummavit. Lex umbra; Christus veritas. Transitus Iordanis baptismus; Hiericho mundus; sortes charismata.

East and west one people§2

2Two and a half and nine and a half are one people — Jews and nations in one Christ. The witness-altar keeps peace.

Latin · §2

Duae semis et novem semis unus populus — Iudaei et gentes in uno Christo. Altare testimonii pacem servat.
