Luke 14:13 Douay-Rheims

But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, and the blind;

John Chrysostom

A.D. 347–407 Patristic

Let us not then bestow kindness on others under the hope of return. For this is a cold motive, and hence it is that such a friendship soon vanishes. But if you invite the poor, God, who never forgets, will be your debtor, as it follows, But when ye make a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, and the blind.
