Cyril of Alexandria — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Luke 9:1-6

Patristic A.D. 444
Cyril of Alexandria · A.D. 376–444
“(ut sup.) But it may be said, How then shall necessary things be prepared for them. He therefore adds, And into whatsoever house ye enter, there abide, and thence depart. As if He said, Let the food of disciples suffice you, who receiving from you spiritual things, will minister unto you temporal. But He ordered them to abide in one house, so as neither to incommode the host, (that is, so as to send him away,) nor themselves to incur the suspicion of gluttony and wantonness.”
