ACC ~ Matthew 8 v6

MY SERVANT

THEODORE OF MOPSUESTIA: He uses the word boy [1] here to indicate his house servant. Luke shows this clearly, calling him his “slave” or “servant.” [2] FRAGMENT 41A. [3]

[1] Theodore’s explanation comes from the fact that pais could mean either son or servant (cf. RSV).

[2] See Lk 7:2-10.
