Matthew 10:9 Douay-Rheims

Do not possess gold, nor silver, nor money in your purses:

John Chrysostom

A.D. 347–407 Patristic

This precept then first frees the Apostles from all suspicions; secondly, from all care, so that they may give up their whole time to preaching the word; thirdly, teaches them their excellence. This is what He said to them afterwards, Was any thing lacking to you, when I sent you without bag or scrip?
