And he said unto them,
Take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor bag, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.

Cyril of Alexandria
AD 444
He commanded them both to remain in one house, and from it to take their departure. For it was right that those who had once received them should not be defrauded of the gift. It is also right that the holy apostles themselves should not place any impediment in the way of their own zeal and earnestness in preaching God’s message. This would happen if they allowed themselves to be carried off to various houses by those whose object was not to learn some necessary lesson but to set before them a luxurious table, beyond what was moderate and necessary. Commentary on Luke, Homily
