Galatians 2:10 Douay-Rheims

Only that we should be mindful of the poor: which same thing also I was careful to do.

John of Damascus

A.D. 676–749 Patristic

The circumstances, he says, were such, that they were to preach to the Jews and we, to the nations. But the care for the poor became a matter common to both of them. These poor were those from the Jews who believed in Christ and who had been deprived of their own homes by the Jews; They were those to whom he wrote, For you accepted joyfully the seizure of your property (Hebr. 10:34).
