Thomas Aquinas

He also shows the use of his office against faithlessness: that you might open the eyes of the blind: for judgment I am come into this world: that they who see not may see; and they who see may become blind (John 9:39); against the slavery of sin: and bring forth the prisoner out of prison: you also by the blood of your testament have sent forth your prisoners out of the pit (Zech 9:11).
