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
He says, “Two women will be grinding at a mill. The one will be taken, and the other left.” By these he again seems to mean those who live in poverty and labor. Even in these, he says that there is a certain vast difference. Some have carried the burden of poverty courageously, honoring a serious and virtuous way of life. Others have been of a different character. They are planners for every wicked practice and all shamefulness. There will be even in their case a full and exact investigation of their manners. The good will be taken, and he that is not good will be left. Commentary on Luke, Homily
