Patristic A.D. 735
“But He as the powerful and merciful Saviour by receiving the weary, by teaching the ignorant, curing the sick, filling the hungry, implies how He was pleased with their devotion; as it follows, And he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, &c.”
Catena Aurea: Gospel of Luke, as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Luke 9:10-17
