Homilies on Leviticus, Homilia VIII · §1

Christ the physician

Scripture calls the Lord Jesus physician. He calls not the healthy but sinners. The law’s herbs are compounded in the Physician’s school.

Latin

Medicum dicit Dominum Iesum. Non sanos vocat sed peccatores. Herbae legis in schola medici componuntur.
