Patristic A.D. 407
“(ubi sup.) Both in condemnation a greater punishment is announced, and in blessing a greater reward; as if He said, Now you confess and deny, but I then, for a far greater recompense of good and evil awaits them in the world to come.”
Catena Aurea: Gospel of Luke, as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Luke 12:8-12
