CommentJeromePublic domainMatthew 15:29–31

What the Latin translator calls ‘debiles’ (maimed), is in the Greek χυλλοὺς, which is not a general term for a maimed person, but a peculiar species, as he that is lame in one foot is called ‘claudus,’ so he that is crippled in one hand is called, χυλλός.

Reproduced in full. Translation: Oxford 1841 (Newman), public domain (Public domain).
