Learning from ancient Christians is priceless (here’s why<\/a>). But it can be difficult to find out what they each had to say about a specific passage of the Bible. For example, it wouldn’t be super easy to find commentary on the Beatitudes from a handful of church fathers. Not only did they write A LOT<\/em>, but their thoughts are scattered in commentaries, diaries, sermons, and even random fragments that we found over time. However, the Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture (ACCS)<\/a> did the hard work for us! They compiled rich quotes<\/strong> from the most well-loved ancient Christians and organized them by book and verse<\/strong>. It looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, now we can easily go verse-by-verse through the Beatitudes and read commentary from Augustine, Jerome, and Origen! What a time-saver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are our favorite quotes from this resource, commentary covering the beatitudes.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MATTHEW 5:3<\/a> – JEROME, ANCIENT CHRISTIAN COMMENTARY ON THE BEATITUDES<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBlessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Free Humility, Not Forced Poverty, Is Blessed: <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This is what we read elsewhere: \u201cHe shall save the humble in spirit.\u201d But do not imagine that poverty is bred by necessity. For he added \u201cin spirit\u201d so you would understand blessedness to be humility and not poverty. \u201cBlessed are the poor in spirit,\u201d who on account of the Holy Spirit are poor by willing freely to be so. Hence, concerning this type of poor, the Savior also speaks through Isaiah: \u201cThe Lord has anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor.\u201d Commentary on Matthew 1.5.3.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

MATTHEW 5:4<\/a><\/strong> – CHRYSOSTOM<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBlessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"CHRYSOSTOM<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Intense Grief Over Sin: <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

He calls blessed even those who mourn. Their sorrow is of a special kind. He did not designate them simply as sad but as intensely grieving. Therefore he did not say \u201cthey that sorrow\u201d but \u201cthey that mourn.\u201d This Beatitude is designed to draw believers toward a Christian disposition. Those who grieve for someone else\u2014their child or wife or any other lost relation\u2014have no fondness for gain or pleasure during the period of their sorrow. They do not aim at glory. They are not provoked by insults nor led captive by envy nor beset by any other passion. Their grief alone occupies the whole of their attention. The Gospel of Matthew, Homily 15.3.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

MATTHEW 5:5<\/a> – AUGUSTINE<\/strong>, ANCIENT CHRISTIAN<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBlessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"AUGUSTINE<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A Perpetual Inheritance: <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u201cInherit the earth,\u201d I believe, means the land promised in the psalm: \u201cThou art my hope, my portion in the land of the living.\u201d It signifies the solidity and stability of a perpetual inheritance. The soul because of its good disposition is at rest as though in its own place, like a body on the earth, and is fed with its own food there, like a body from the earth. This is the peaceful life of the saints. The meek are those who submit to wickedness and do not resist evil but overcome evil with good. Let the haughty therefore quarrel and contend for earthly and temporal things. But \u201cblessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the land.\u201d This is the land from which they cannot be expelled. Sermon on the Mount 1.2.4.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

MATTHEW 5:6<\/a> – ORIGEN<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBlessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, or they will be filled.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"ORIGEN<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

God Is The True Virtue: <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But if I must utilize a bold explanation indeed, I think that perhaps it was through the word that is measured by virtue and justice that the Lord presents himself to the desire of the hearers. He was born as wisdom from God for us, and as justice and sanctification and redemption. Jesus is \u201cthe bread that comes down from heaven\u201d and \u201cliving water,\u201d for which the great David himself thirsted. He said in one of his psalms, \u201cMy soul has thirsted for you, even for the living God; when shall I come and appear before the face of God?\u201d \u2026 \u201cI shall behold your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied in beholding your glory.\u201d This then, in my estimation, is the true virtue, the good unmingled with any lesser good, that is, God, the virtue that covers the heavens, as Habakkuk relates. Fragment 83.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

MATTHEW 5:7<\/a> – CHROMATIUS<\/strong>, ANCIENT CHRISTIAN<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBlessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"CHROMATIUS<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Blessed By The Lord Of Compassion: <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

By a great number of witnesses indeed, just as many in the Old Testament as the New, we are called by the Lord to show compassion. But as a shortcut to faith we deem enough and more than enough what the Lord himself in the passage at hand expresses with his own voice, saying, \u201cBlessed are the compassionate, for God will have compassion for them.\u201d The Lord of compassion says that the compassionate are blessed. No one can obtain God\u2019s compassion unless that one is also compassionate. In another passage he said, \u201cBe compassionate, just as your Father who is in the heavens is compassionate.\u201d Tractate on Matthew 17.6.1\u20132.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
