Saint Peter Chrysologus, Bishop and Doctor

1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

…

4Therefore, these are the feasts of the Lord, which you must celebrate in their times. 5The first month, the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, is the Passover of the Lord. 6And the fifteenth day of this month is the solemnity of the unleavened bread of the Lord. For seven days shall you eat unleavened bread. 7The first day shall be greatly honored and holy to you; you shall do no servile work in it. 8But you shall offer a sacrifice with fire, for seven days, to the Lord. Then the seventh day shall be more honored and more holy; and you shall do no servile work in it. 9And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 10Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: When you will have entered into the land which I will give to you, and you will have harvested your grain fields, you shall carry the sheaves of grain, the first-fruits of your harvest, to the priest. 11He shall lift up a sheaf before the Lord, on the day after the Sabbath, so that it may be acceptable for you, and he shall sanctify it.

…

15Therefore, you shall number from the day after the Sabbath, in which you offered a sheaf of the first-fruits, seven full weeks, 16all the way to the day after the completion of the seventh week, that is, fifty days, and then you shall offer a new sacrifice to the Lord,

…

27The tenth day of this seventh month shall be the day of atonement; it shall be most honored, and it shall be called holy. And you shall afflict your souls on that day, and you shall offer a holocaust to the Lord.

…

34Say to the sons of Israel: From the fifteenth day of this seventh month, there shall be the Feast of Tabernacles: seven days for the Lord. 35The first day shall be called most honored and most holy; you shall do no servile work in it. 36And for seven days you shall offer holocausts to the Lord. Likewise, the eighth day shall be most honored and most holy, and you shall offer holocausts to the Lord. For it is the day of assembly and gathering. You shall do no servile work in it. 37These are the feasts of the Lord, which you shall call most honored and most holy, and in them you shall offer oblations to the Lord: holocausts and libations according to the rite of each particular day,

3Take up a psalm, and bring forth the timbrel: a pleasing Psalter with stringed instruments.

4Sound the trumpet at the new moon, on the noteworthy day of your solemnity,

5for it is a precept in Israel and a judgment for the God of Jacob.

6He set it as a testimony with Joseph, when he went out of the land of Egypt. He heard a tongue that he did not know.

…

10then there will be no new god among you, nor will you adore a foreign god.

11For I am the Lord your God, who led you out of the land of Egypt. Widen your mouth, and I will fill it.

54And arriving in his own country, he taught them in their synagogues, so much so that they wondered and said: “How can such wisdom and power be with this one? 55Is this not the son of a workman? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers, James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Jude? 56And his sisters, are they not all with us? Therefore, from where has this one obtained all these things?” 57And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country and in his own house.” 58And he did not work many miracles there, because of their unbelief.
