Cyril of Alexandria: Fragments on Matthew · §99

Matthew 10:11–15

He does not want them to change from place to place and house to house, lest grief come to the first host, and lest they take on a suspicion of gluttony and easiness. The dust shaken from their feet is proof of a journey toward them that gained nothing, and of the toils they endured for them. They will be punished equally with the people of Sodom: those dishonored the angels; these, the apostles.

Greek

Τὸ εἰπεῖν σῶσον ἔπαινον ἔχει πίστεως, τὸ δὲ εἰπεῖν ἀπολλύμεθα ἔγκλημα ὀλιγοπιστίας τοῖς κίνδυνον ἐλπίζουσι συμπλέοντος Χριστοῦ. οὐκ ἄπιστοι δὲ ὁλοτελῶς, ἀλλ' ὀλιγόπιστοι οἱ μὴ καταθαρσήσαντες κινδύνων συνόντος Χριστοῦ.
