- Numbers 11:27–29
A young man ran and reported to Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”
- Isaiah 65:5
They say, ‘Keep to yourself; do not come near me, for I am holier than you!’ Such people are smoke in My nostrils, a fire that burns all day long.
Commentary on Isaiah 65:51 voice
(Verses 4, 5.) Those who dwell in tombs and sleep in the temples of idols, who eat pork meat and unclean broth from their vessels, who say, 'Go away from me, do not come near me, for you are unclean.' LXX: They sleep in tombs and caves because of the nightmares, those who eat pork meat and the broth of sacrifices, all their vessels are profane. They say, 'Go far away from me, do not come near me, for I am clean.'
Jerome· Commentary on IsaiahPatristic
- Matthew 11:18
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’
Commentary on Matthew 11:181 voice
If fasting then pleases you, why were you not satisfied with John? If fulness, why not with the Son of man? Yet one of these ye said had a dæmon, the other ye called a gluttonous man, and drunkard.
Jerome· Catena Aurea by AquinasPatristic
- Matthew 11:19
The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is vindicated by her actions.”
Commentary on Matthew 11:192 voices
If fasting then pleases you, why were you not satisfied with John? If fulness, why not with the Son of man? Yet one of these ye said had a dæmon, the other ye called a gluttonous man, and drunkard.
Jerome· Catena Aurea by AquinasPatristic
Wisdom is justified of her children, i. e. The dispensation or doctrine of God, or Christ Himself who is the power and wisdom of God, is proved by the Apostles, who are His children, to have done righteously. Some copies read, Wisdom is justified of her works, for wisdom does not seek the witness of words, but of works.
Jerome· Catena Aurea by AquinasPatristic
- Matthew 19:13
Then the little children were brought to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them and pray for them. And the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
Commentary on Matthew 19:131 voice
Then were there brought unto him little children,.... It does not appear that they were new born babes; the words used by either of the evangelists do not always signify such, but are sometimes used of such as are capable of going alone; yea, of receiving instructions, of understanding the Scriptures, and even of one of twelve years of age, Mat 18:2 nor is it probable that infants just born, or within a month, should be had abroad.
John Gill· Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)Reformed
- Mark 2:16
When the scribes who were Pharisees saw Jesus eating with these people, they asked His disciples, “Why does He eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
Commentary on Mark 2:162 voices
When Jesus is attacked for mixing with sinners, and taking as his disciple a despised tax collector, one might ask: What could he possibly gain by doing so? Only the salvation of sinners. To blame Jesus for mingling with sinners would be like blaming a physician for stooping down over suffering and putting up with vile smells in order to heal the sick.
Gregory of Nazianzus· ORATION 45, ON HOLY EASTER 26Patristic
And when the Scribes and Pharisees saw him eat,.... They were offended at his eating and drinking, though it was in moderation; because he did not fast as they, and their disciples did; and especially, that he eat with publicans and sinners; men of very infamous characters, and bad lives, with whom the Pharisees disdained to keep company: they said unto his disciples, how is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners? The Vulgate Latin, Arabic, Persic, and Ethiopic versions read, "your master"; see Gill on Mat 9:11; so some Greek copies here.
John Gill· Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)Reformed
- Mark 9:38–40
John said to Him, “Teacher, we saw someone else driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not accompany us.”
Commentary on Mark 9:38–401 voice
(ubi sup.) John, loving the Lord with eminent devotion, thought that He who performed an office to which He had no right was to be excluded from the benefit of it. Wherefore it is said, And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.
Bede· Catena Aurea by AquinasPatristic
- Mark 10:13
Now people were bringing the little children to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them, and the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
- Luke 4:28
On hearing this, all the people in the synagogue were enraged.
Commentary on Luke 4:281 voice
It can not be wondered at that they lost their salvation who cast the Saviour out of their city. But the Lord who taught His Apostles by the example of Himself to be all things to all men, neither repels the willing, nor chooses the unwilling; neither struggles against those who cast Him out, nor refuses to hear those who supplicate Him. But that conduct was the result of no slight enmity, which, forgetful of the feelings of fellow citizens, converts the causes of love into the bitterest hatred.
Ambrose of Milan· Catena Aurea by AquinasPatristic
- Luke 7:39
When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, He would know who this is and what kind of woman is touching Him—for she is a sinner!”
- Luke 9:49
“Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not accompany us.”
Commentary on Luke 9:491 voice
But we ought to consider not so much the worker of the miracles, as the grace which was in him, who, by the power of Christ, performed miracles. But what if there should be both those which be numbered together with the Apostles, and those who are crowned with the grace of Christ; there are many diversities in Christ's gifts.
Cyril of Alexandria· Catena Aurea by AquinasPatristic
- Luke 9:50
“Do not stop him,” Jesus replied, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”
Commentary on Luke 9:502 voices
But we ought to consider not so much the worker of the miracles, as the grace which was in him, who, by the power of Christ, performed miracles. But what if there should be both those which be numbered together with the Apostles, and those who are crowned with the grace of Christ; there are many diversities in Christ's gifts.
Cyril of Alexandria· Catena Aurea by AquinasPatristic
Now John is not blamed, because he did this from love, but he is taught to know the difference between the strong and the weak. And therefore our Lord though He rewards the stronger, yet does not exclude the weak; as it follows, And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not, for he that is not against you is for you. True, O Lord. For both Joseph and Nicodemus, through fear Thy secret disciples, when the time came, did not refuse their offices.
Ambrose of Milan· Catena Aurea by AquinasPatristic
- Luke 9:51–56
As the day of His ascension approached, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.
Commentary on Luke 9:51–561 voice
It says, "When the days drew near for him to be received up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem." This means that after he would endure his saving passion for us, the time would come when he should ascend to heaven and dwell with God the Father, so he determined to go to Jerusalem. This is, I think, the meaning of his "set his face."
Cyril of Alexandria· COMMENTARY ON LUKE, HOMILY 56Patristic
- Luke 9:52
He sent messengers on ahead, who went into a village of the Samaritans to make arrangements for Him.
Commentary on Luke 9:521 voice
It would be untrue, then, to affirm that our Saviour did not know what was about to happen: for as He knows all things, He knew, of course, that His messengers would not be received by the Samaritans. Of this there can be no doubt. Why, then, did He command them to precede Him? The reason of it was His custom assiduously to benefit the holy Apostles in every possible way: and for this end His practice sometimes was to put them to the proof.
Cyril of Alexandria· COMMENTARY ON LUKE, HOMILY 56Patristic
- Luke 9:53
But the people there refused to welcome Him, because He was heading for Jerusalem.
Commentary on Luke 9:531 voice

Of this there can be no doubt. Why, then, did He command them to precede Him? The reason of it was His custom assiduously to benefit the holy Apostles in every possible way: and for this end His practice sometimes was to put them to the proof.
Cyril of Alexandria· COMMENTARY ON LUKE, HOMILY 56Patristic
- Luke 11:38
But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.
Commentary on Luke 11:381 voice
The dull Pharisee himself supplied an occasion for his speech, "because he wondered," it says, "that he did not wash before dinner." Did he wonder at him as having done something of which he approved, as being especially worthy of the saints? This was not his view. How could it be? On the contrary, he was offended because although he had the reputation of a righteous man and a prophet, he did not conform himself to their unreasonable customs.…Our argument is this. "O foolish Pharisee, you boast much of your knowledge of the sacred Scriptures.
