Patristic A.D. 397
“But when are those days, in which Christ shall be taken away from us, since He has said, I will be with you alway, even unto the end of the world? But no one can take Christ away from you, unless you take yourself away from Him.”
Catena Aurea: Gospel of Luke, as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Luke 5:33-39
