CommentJeromePublic domainMatthew 10:29–31

Those who deny the resurrection of the flesh ridicule the sense of the Church on this place, as if we affirmed that every hair that has ever been cut off by the razor rises again, when the Saviour says, “Every hair of your head” - not is saved, but - “is numbered.” Where there is number, knowledge of that number is implied, but not preservation of the same hairs.
