Saint Hilary of Poitiers, Bishop and Doctor

14Therefore because the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner hath been partaker of the same: that, through death, he might destroy him who had the empire of death, that is to say, the devil: 15And might deliver them, who through the fear of death were all their lifetime subject to servitude. 16For no where doth he take hold of the angels: but of the seed of Abraham he taketh hold. 17Wherefore it behoved him in all things to be made like unto his brethren, that he might become a merciful and faithful priest before God, that he might be a propitiation for the sins of the people. 18For in that, wherein he himself hath suffered and been tempted, he is able to succour them also that are tempted.

1Alleluia. Give glory to the Lord, and call upon his name: declare his deeds among the Gentiles.

2Sing to him, yea sing praises to him: relate all his wondrous works.

3Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.

4Seek ye the Lord, and be strengthened: seek his face evermore.

…

6O ye seed of Abraham his servant; ye sons of Jacob his chosen.

7He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth.

8He hath remembered his covenant for ever: the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.

9Which he made to Abraham; and his oath to Isaac:

29And immediately going out of the synagogue they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30And Simon's wife's mother lay in a fit of a fever: and forthwith they tell him of her. 31And coming to her, he lifted her up, taking her by the hand; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them. 32And when it was evening, after sunset, they brought to him all that were ill and that were possessed with devils. 33And all the city was gathered together at the door. 34And he healed many that were troubled with divers diseases; and he cast out many devils, and he suffered them not to speak, because they knew him. 35And rising very early, going out, he went into a desert place: and there he prayed. 36And Simon, and they that were with him, followed after him. 37And when they had found him, they said to him: All seek for thee. 38And he saith to them: Let us go into the neighbouring towns and cities, that I may preach there also; for to this purpose am I come. 39And he was preaching in their synagogues, and in all Galilee, and casting out devils.
