You are they who have continued with me in my trials.
All Commentaries on Luke 22:28 Go To Luke 22
Cyril of Alexandria
AD 444
The Savior therefore drives away from the holy apostles the affliction of pride. They might perhaps think among themselves and even say, “What will be the reward of faithfulness? What advantage shall we, who have waited on Christ, receive when temptations happen from time to time?” Confirmed by the hope of the blessings that are in store, they throw away from their minds all laziness in virtuous pursuits. They rather choose with an eager mind to follow him and take pleasure in labor for his sake. They also count the doing it a cause of gain, the pathway of joy, and the means of eternal glory. Commentary on Luke, Homily
