Patristic
“For they saw how mean their clothes, and considered not how pure their consciences. See the foolish wisdom of men! They think great men are hurt when they receive the homage of the poor. What poor man dare salute a rich man in public?”
Catena Aurea: Gospel of Matthew, as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Matthew 20:29-34
