Peter And Judas, House Builders


Ἑτέρα η'

Ἄνθρωπός τις ᾠκοδόμησε τὴν οἰκίαν αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν πέτραν. 

Τίς ὁ ἄνθρωπος; Ὁ ἅγιος Πέτρος· πέτρα, ὁ Χριστός· οἰκία, ἡ πίστις· ἄνεμος ὁ διάβολος. Ὁ δὲ ἐπὶ τὴν ἄμμον οἰκοδομήσας Ἰούδας· ἄμμος γάρ ἐστιν ἡ ἀκαρπία.

Ψευδο Ἀθανάσιος, Πησεις Και Ἐρμηνειαι Παραβολων Του Ἅγιον Εὔαγγελιου

Question 8

A certain man built his house on a rock...1

Who is the man? Saint Peter. The rock is Christ. The house is faith. The wind is the devil. And the one who built his house on the sand is Judas, for the sand gives no fruit.

Pseudo-Athanasius, Words And Interpretations of the Holy Gospel

1 Mt 7.24
