Augustine of Hippo, on Luke 10:38

“Now it came to pass as they went, that he entered into a certain town: and a certain woman named Martha, received him into her house.”

“(ubi sup.) Now as was her humility in sitting at His feet, so much the more did she receive from Him. For the waters pour down to the lowest part of the valley, but flow away from the rising of the hill.”
