Matthew 17:1-2,5 [Latin]

1 And after six days Jesus taketh unto him Peter and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart:

And he was transfigured before them. And his face did shine as the sun: and his garments became white as snow.

And as he was yet speaking, behold a bright cloud overshadowed them. And lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased: hear ye him.

Assumpsit Jesus petrum, et Jacobum, et Joannem fratrem eius, et duxit eos in montem excelsum seorsum, et transfiguratus est ante eos. Et ecce vox de nube dicens: Hic est filius meus dilectus, in quo mihi bene complacui, ipsum audite.


Assumpsit Jesus Petrum, from Liber motectorum, Salamanca (1610), composed by Sebastián de Vivanco (c1551-1622)

Psalm 54:4-5,1 [Latin: Psalm 53:6-7,3]

Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.

He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.

1 Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me [in music: “deliver me”] by thy strength.

Ecce Deus ádjuvat me, et Dóminus suscéptor est ánimæ meæ: avérte mala inimícis meis, et in veritáte tua dispérde illos, protéctor meus, Dómine. Ps. ibid. 3. Deus, in nómine tuo salvum me fac: et in virtúte tua líbera me

Wenceslas Hollar – The wolves and the sheep

Luke 10:3; John 12:36 [Latin]

Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.

36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.

Ecce ego mitto vos sicut agnos inter lupos. Dum lucem habetis, credite in lucem, ut filii lucis sitis. Haec locutus est Jesus.

Temptation of Christ in the wilderness: 'command these stones to become loaves of bread'
Temptation of Christ in the wilderness, by Jan Luyken

Matthew 4:4; Deuteronomy 8:3

But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.


Not by bread alone, from Sing the Bible vol. 3 by Randall Goodgame (b. 1974)

Matthew 4:4 "Man Shall Not Live By Bread Alone."
