Basil of Caesarea, on Luke 12:41

“And Peter said to him: Lord, dost thou speak this parable to us, or likewise to all?”

“(in Proœm. in reg. fus.) He says not, ‘doing,’ as if by chance, but so doing. For not only conquest is honourable, but to contend lawfully, which is to perform each thing as we have been commanded.”
