Augustine of Hippo — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Luke 11:5-8

Patristic A.D. 430
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
“(Qu. Ev. l. ii. qu. 21.) The time then referred to is that of the famine of the word, when the understanding is shut up, (Amos 8:11.) and they who dealing out the wisdom of the Gospel as it were bread, preached throughout the world, are now in their secret rest with the Lord. And this it is which is added, And my children are with me in bed.”
