Bede the Venerable — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Luke 14:12-14

Patristic A.D. 735
Bede the Venerable · c. A.D. 672–735
“And though all rise again, yet it is called the resurrection of the just, because in the resurrection they doubt not that they are blessed. Whoever then bids the poor to his feast shall receive a reward hereafter. But he who invites his friends, brothers, and the rich, has received his reward. But if he does this for God’s sake after the example of the sons of Job, God, who Himself commanded all the duties of brotherly love, will reward him.”
