(Matt 16:23) touches the themes of Jesus' divinity and death, warfare with Satan, the harrowing of hell, and his relationship with Peter. Peter's rebuke of Jesus' willingness to die gives Jesus (through Jacob) the occasion to explain what his death will accomplish. The volume constitutes a fascicle of The Metrical Homilies of Mar Jacob of Sarug, which, when complete, will contain the original Syriac text of Jacob's surviving sermons, fully vocalized, alongside an annotated English translation.
