To His everlasting mercy ought we to render thanks, that, having at length looked on the earth, He deigned to collect again and to restore His flock, partly laid waste by ravenous wolves, and partly scattered abroad, and to extirpate those noxious wild beasts who had trod down its pastures, and destroyed its resting-places.[41]

Luke 10:4 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria The Instructor Book III

Luke 10:4 - NIV, NAB - in Melito the Philosopher

But to the treasury of other kings also it is appointed how much the worshippers in various places shall pay, and how many vesselfuls[11]

Luke 10:5 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Marcion Book IV

earthly refreshments prior to heavenly, for your faith will forthwith be judged. Or else how will you-according to the precept[174]

an infallible Prophet of that which is supremely profitable, gave us in charge, by way of salutation before our words of instruction, to announce to you, in order that if there be any son of peace among you, peace may take hold of him through our teaching; but if any of you will not receive it, then we, shaking off for a testimony the road-dust of our feet, which we have borne through our toils, and brought to you that you may be saved, will go to the abodes and the cities of others.[20]

any other sort of communication with them.[967]

Luke 10:12 - NIV, NAB - in Irenaeus Against Heresies Book V

And why is this? Has the Word come for the ruin and for the resurrection of many? For the ruin, certainly, of those who do not believe Him, to whom also He has threatened a greater damnation in the judgment-day than that of Sodom and Gomorrah;[239]

Luke 10:12 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On Fasting

Sodom also, and Gomorrah, would have escaped if they had fasted.[53]

Luke 10:16 - NIV, NAB - in Irenaeus Against Heresies Book III

For the Lord of all gave to His apostles the power of the Gospel, through whom also we have known the truth, that is, the doctrine of the Son of God; to whom also did the Lord declare: "He that heareth you, heareth Me; and he that despiseth you, despiseth Me, and Him that sent Me."[1]

Luke 10:16 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Who is the Rich Man that Shall Be Saved?

Luke 10:16 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Marcion Book IV

it will be manifest that the prohibition of intercourse descended to Christ from Him. The form of it which He uses-"He that despiseth you, despiseth me"[971]

Luke 10:16 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Epistle LIV

And the Lord also in the Gospel says, "He that heareth you, heareth me, and Him that sent me; and he that rejecteth you, rejecteth me; and he that rejecteth me, rejecteth Him that sent me."[17]

Luke 10:16 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Epistle LXVIII

of God and of Christ, who says to the apostles, and thereby to all chief rulers, who by vicarious ordination succeed to the apostles: "He that heareth you, heareth me; and he that heareth me, heareth Him that sent me; and he that despiseth you, despiseth me, and Him that sent me."[11]

Luke 10:16 - NIV, NAB - in Constitutions of the Holy Apostles Book II

For he that heareth him, heareth Christ; and he that rejecteth him, rejecteth Christ; and he who does not receive Christ, does not receive His God and Father: for, says He, "He that heareth you, heareth me; and he that rejecteth you, rejecteth me; and he that rejecteth me, rejecteth Him that sent me."[107]

Luke 10:16 - NIV, NAB - in Constitutions of the Holy Apostles Book VIII

But now our discourse hastens as to the principal part, that is, the constitution of ecclesiastical affairs, that so, when ye have learned this constitution from us, ye who are ordained bishops by us at the command of Christ, may perform all things according to the commands delivered you, knowing that he that heareth us heareth Christ, and he that heareth Christ heareth His God and Father,[41]

Luke 10:16 - NIV, NAB - in Constitutions of the Holy Apostles Book VIII

Luke 10:16 - NIV, NAB - in The First Epistle of Pope Pontianus

Luke 10:18 - NIV, NAB - in Irenaeus Against Heresies Book III

This Spirit, again, He did confer upon the Church, sending throughout all the world the Comforter from heaven, from whence also the Lord tells us that the devil, like lightning, was cast down.[317]

really "behold Satan as lightning fall from heaven; "[123]

Luke 10:18 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Marcion Book II

is manifest, properly belongs to the transgression of the angel, and not to the prince's: for none among human beings was either born in the paradise of God, not even Adam himself, who was rather translated thither; nor placed with a cherub upon God's holy mountain, that is to say, in the heights of heaven, from which the Lord testifies that Satan fell; nor detained amongst the stones of fire, and the flashing rays of burning conStellations, whence Satan was cast down like lightning.[147]

Luke 10:18 - NIV, NAB - in Origen de Principiis Book I

For if, as some think, he was a nature of darkness, how is Lucifer said to have existed before? Or how could he arise in the morning, who had in himself nothing of the light? Nay, even the Saviour Himself teaches us, saying of the devil, "Behold, I see Satan fallen from heaven like lightning."[101]

Luke 10:18 - NIV, NAB - in Archelaus Acts of the Disputation with the Heresiarch Manes

But it was of Satan that He spoke when He said, that He "beheld him as lightning fall from heaven; "[166]

Luke 10:18 - NIV, NAB - in Archelaus Acts of the Disputation with the Heresiarch Manes

Luke 10:18 - NIV, NAB - in Constitutions of the Holy Apostles Book VIII

who hast cast him down as lightning from heaven to earth,[60]

and conferred on those that believe in Him the power "to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and on all the power of the enemy,"[117]

Luke 10:19 - NIV, NAB - in Irenaeus Against Heresies Book III

and subject him to the power of man, who had been conquered[462]

For He says, "Behold, I confer upon you the power of treading upon serpents and scorpions, and upon all the power of the enemy,"[215]

Luke 10:19 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book IV

and "to tread on serpents and scorpions," and to rule over demons and "the host of the adversary."[25]

Luke 10:19 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Marcion Book IV

The authority of both offices will have to be equally divided, as it proceeds from one and the same Lord, (the God) of apostles and prophets. Who is He that shall bestow "the power of treading on serpents and scorpions? "[973]

Luke 10:19 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Against Celsus Book VII

Still further, he adds that Daniel rescued from the lions is more worthy of our adoration than Jesus, who subdued the fierceness of every opposing power, and gave to us "authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy."[143]

Luke 10:19 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Against Celsus Book VII

and other similar passages, as, "Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power. of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you; "[157]

Luke 10:19 - NIV, NAB - in A Treatise Against the Heretic Novatian by an Anonymous Bishop

Luke 10:19 - NIV, NAB - in Archelaus Acts of the Disputation with the Heresiarch Manes

For He "gave unto us power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the strength of the enemy."[305]

Luke 10:19 - NIV, NAB - in Constitutions of the Holy Apostles Book VIII

Thou, who hast bound the strong man, and spoiled all that was in his house, who hast given us power over serpents and scorpions to tread upon them, and upon all the power of the enemy;[58]

Luke 10:20 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Marcion Book IV

To be sure he did, as being an envious (spirit), and in his very confession only petulant, and evil in adulation-just as if it had been Christ's highest glory to have come for the destruction of demons, and not for the salvation of mankind; whereas His wish really was that His disciples should not glory in the subjection of evil spirits but in the fair beauty of salvation.[193]

Luke 10:20 - NIV, NAB - in Constitutions of the Holy Apostles Book VIII

Himself somewhere instructs us, and shows, saying: "Rejoice ye, not because the spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice, because your names are written in heaven."[7]

Luke 10:21 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria The Instructor Book I

Jesus therefore, rejoicing in the spirit, said: "I thank Thee, O Father, God of heaven and earth, that Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes; "[66]

Luke 10:21 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria The Instructor Book I

And He exclaims in exultation and exceeding joy, as if lisping with the children, "Even so, Father; for so it seemed good in Thy sight."[67]

Luke 10:21 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Marcion Book IV

to have been the maker thereof? For He says, "I thank thee, (O Father, )and own Thee, Lord of heaven, because those things which had been hidden from the wise and prudent, Thou has revealed unto babes."[984]

Luke 10:21 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Marcion Book IV

[1002]

Luke 10:21 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Praxeas

" He Himself adores.[371]

Luke 10:21 - NIV, NAB - in Recognitions of Clement IV

For this also the Master intimated, when He said, `I will confess' to Thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because Thou hast concealed these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes.[9]

Luke 10:21 - NIV, NAB - in Clementine Homily VIII

Luke 10:21 - NIV, NAB - in Acts of the Holy Apostle Thomas

And the apostle, seized with joy, said: I make full confession[6]

Luke 10:22 - NIV, NAB - in Irenaeus Against Heresies Book IV

For the Lord, revealing Himself to His disciples, that He Himself is the Word, who imparts knowledge of the Father, and reproving the Jews, who imagined that they, had [the knowledge of] God, while they nevertheless rejected His Word, through whom God is made known, declared, "No man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whom the Son has willed to reveal [Him]."[60]

Luke 10:22 - NIV, NAB - in Irenaeus Against Heresies Book IV

For the Son is the knowledge of the Father; but the knowledge of the Son is in the Father, and has been revealed through the Son; and this was the reason why the Lord declared: "No man knoweth the Son, but the Father; nor the Father, save the Son, and those to whomsoever the Son shall reveal [Him]."[69]

Luke 10:22 - NIV, NAB - in Irenaeus Against Heresies Book IV

Vain, therefore, ark those who, because of that declaration, "No man knoweth the Father, but the Son,"[83]

Luke 10:22 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria The Instructor Book I

Of late, then, God was known by the coming of Christ: "For no man knoweth God but the Son, and he to whom the Son shall reveal Him."[43]

"No one," says the Lord, "hath known the Father but the Son, and he to whom the Son shall reveal Him."[156]

Luke 10:22 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book VII

Whence also this kind of cattle are apt to slip, not having a division in the foot, and not resting on the twofold support of faith. For "no man," it is said, "knoweth the Father, but he to whom the Son shall reveal Him."[188]

Luke 10:22 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Marcion Book IV

of the law and the prophets which we have thus far found effected in Christ. "All things," He says, "are delivered unto me of my Father."[1008]

Luke 10:22 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Marcion Book IV

But "no man knoweth who the Father is, but the Son; and who the Son is, but the Father, and he to whom the Son will reveal Him."[1017]

Luke 10:22 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Praxeas

;[374]

Or when, moreover, by the same it is asserted and said: "All things are delivered to me by my Father? "[211]

Luke 10:22 - NIV, NAB - in Archelaus Acts of the Disputation with the Heresiarch Manes

: Those sayings which are put forth by the blessed Paul were not uttered without the direction of God, and therefore it is certain that what he has declared to us is that we are to look for our Lord Jesus Christ as the perfect one, who[384]

Luke 10:22 - NIV, NAB - in Recognitions of Clement II

e world; and Enoch knew him, inasmuch as he was translated by him; and Noah, since he was ordered by him to construct the ark; and although Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and Moses, and all, even every people and all nations, know the maker of the world, and confess him to be a God, yet your Jesus, who appeared long after the patriarchs, says: `No one knows the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any one the Father, but the Son, and he to whom the Son has been pleased to reveal Him.'[60]

Luke 10:22 - NIV, NAB - in Clementine Homily XVII

For the framer of the world was known to Adam whom He had made, and to Enoch who pleased Him, and to Noah who was seen to be just by Him; likewise to Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob; also to Moses, and the people, and the whole world. But Jesus, the teacher of Peter himself, came and said,[8]

Luke 10:22 - NIV, NAB - in Clementine Homily XVIII

And Simon said: "How, then, if the framer of the world, who also fashioned Adam, was known, and known too by those who were just according to the law, and moreover by the just and unjust, and the whole world, does your teacher, coming after all these, say,[7]

Luke 10:23 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Marcion Book IV

Luke 10:24 - NIV, NAB - in Methodius Oration on the Psalms

Tell us, then, O children, whence is this, your beautiful and graceful contest of song? Who taught it you? Who instructed you? Who brought you together? What were your tablets? Who were your teachers? Do but you, they say, join us as our companions in this song and festivity, and you will learn the things which were by Moses and the prophet earnestly longed for.[14]

Luke 10:24 - NIV, NAB - in Clementine Homily III

And in addition to this, willing to convict more fully of error the prophets from whom they asserted that they had learned, He proclaimed that they died desiring the truth, but not having learned it, saying, `Many prophets and kings desired to see what ye see, and to hear what you hear; and verily I say to you, they neither saw nor heard.'[50]

Luke 10:25 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian An Answer to the Jews

all the precepts which afterwards sprouted forth when given through Moses; that is, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God from thy whole heart and out of thy whole soul; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself;[18]

Luke 10:25 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Marcion Book IV

Luke 10:25 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On the Flesh of Christ

Luke 10:27 - NIV, NAB - in Epistle of Ignatius to the Ephesians

No man making a profession of faith ought to sin, nor one possessed of love to hate his brother. For He that said, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God,"[103]

Luke 10:27 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book II

So also is it said, "Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."[12]

Luke 10:27 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Marcion Book IV

and the Lord to have therefore answered him according to the law, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength,"[1031]

Luke 10:27 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Marcion Book V

with all thy strength, and with all thy mind, and thy neighbour as thine own self."[374]

Luke 10:27 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On the Apparel of Women Book II

Are we to paint ourselves out that our neighbours may perish? Where, then, is (the command), "Thou shall love thy neighbour as thyself? "[17]

Luke 10:41 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Who is the Rich Man that Shall Be Saved?

Such also was what the Lord said to Martha, who was occupied with many things, and distracted and troubled with serving; while she blamed her sister, because, leaving serving, she set herself at His feet, devoting her time to learning: "Thou art troubled about many things, but Mary hath chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her."[13]

Luke 10:41 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Commentary on John Book VI

" Where else was it fitting that he should baptize, who was sent as a messenger before the face of the Christ, to prepare His way before Him, but at the House of preparation? And what more fitting home for Mary, who chose the good part,[117]
