AND SERVICE.
THE FIRST BOOK
Concerning the turning aside of man to worthlessness, and the captivity to sin, and at the same time concerning the calling and turning back,
according to repentance, and the return to what is better. To where, indeed, and from where? To ask, I think, is surely superfluous. For you would say, I know well,
without any delay, that it is from home and to us. {PALLADIUS.} True. {CYRIL.} But what is this tablet in your hands? {PALL.} An evangelical book, the writing of Matthew and John. {CYR.} And where and to whom do you think it must be brought? For surely you would not be studying it while going outdoors, O Palladius. The labors upon this are sweeter at home and at leisure. {PALL.} You speak well. I have come to meet with you. And I bring the sacred book; for having toiled over countless things, I am no more able to understand what our Lord Jesus Christ might mean to declare, in Matthew, when he says: “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish, but to fulfill. For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no 68.136 means pass from the law until all is accomplished.” But in the writing according to John, to the
