G'day, and welcome to Pints with Aquinas.

Today, I'm going to try something different.

We're going to do a Bible study on John chapter 16 verses 29 through 33.

But I won't just be giving you my commentary on the verse, rather I want to take a look

at what Saint Thomas Aquinas has to say.

Thomas Aquinas wrote more than most people will read in a lifetime.

Many people know him for the summa Theology, or his summary of theology.

But he also wrote some excellent commentaries on different books of the Bible,

like Matthew's Gospel, John's Gospel, the Psalms.

So I have in front of me here, see if you can see that there.

This is chapters 9 through 21 of his commentary.

Now it's in Latin as well as English, which is why it's so big,

but he did have a lot to say.

So what I'll do is I'll throw this, let's see here.

This is the verse we'll take a look at,

and we'll read it, and then we'll look at what Thomas Aquinas has to say.

Now I would hope, you know, I know when people kind of consume YouTube videos

that people are in a different headspace, you know, it's very quick, very fast.

But I hope for those who want to, this would be kind of more meditative.

So because of that, why don't we begin with the sign of the cross?

In the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

So let's read what we have here.
