And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
All Commentaries on Luke 12:4 Go To Luke 12
Cyril of Alexandria
AD 444
To put it in another light, as being his friends, we should not fear death but rather imitate the faith of the holy ancestors. When he was tempted, the patriarch Abraham offered his onlybegotten son Isaac, considering that God was able to raise him up even from the dead. What terror of death can assail us, now that life has abolished death? Christ is the resurrection and the life. Commentary on Luke, Homily
