I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
All Commentaries on Luke 17:34 Go To Luke 17
Cyril of Alexandria
AD 444
By the two who are in one bed, he seems to hint at those who live in rest and plenty. They are equal to one another, as far as being possessed of worldly affluence. The bed is the symbol of rest. He says, “One of them will be taken, and one will be left.” How is one taken? Not all those who are possessed of wealth and ease in this world are wicked and merciless. Commentary on Luke, Homily
