Chrysostom on Luke 4:16-22

The Lord heals all; He purges away all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. Let no one, therefore, remain unenlightened and unhealed any longer, but with faith let him draw near and receive a blessing from God and mercy from our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. For great and unutterable are His kindness and His love towards man.

Blessed Theophylact on Luke 4:16-22

Thus he teaches us that we should first work to teach and bring benefit to those of our own circle, before lavishing kindness on others.

Blessed Theophylact on Luke 10:38-42, 11:27-28

Hospitality, which Martha displays, is a great virtue which ought  not to be scorned; but it is even greater to give heed to spiritual words. By means of the first, the body is nourished; by means of the second, the soul is brought to life.
