quoniam sæpe compedibus et catenis vinctus, dirupisset catenas, et compedes comminuisset, et nemo poterat eum domare:

Vulgata (Latina)

In The King James Version

Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.

In Context

3qui domicilium habebat in monumentis, et neque catenis jam quisquam poterat eum ligare: + 5.3 Et neque catenis, etc. BEDA. Catenis et compedibus graves, et duæ leges gentium signantur, quibus peccata in re eorum publica cohibebantur. Ruptis catenis (ut Lucas scribit) subito agebatur a Domino in deserto, quia etiam transgressis illis legibus ad ea scelera cupiditate raptabantur, quæ jam vulgarem excederent consuetudinem.

5et semper die ac nocte in monumentis, et in montibus erat, clamans, et concidens se lapidibus.
