Lucas 6
John Damascene
Lucas 6:13
He also chose twelve disciples, whom he called apostles, and commanded them to preach the kingdom of heaven which he came upon earth to declare, and to make heavenly us who are low and earthly, by virtue of his incarnation. — BARLAAM AND JOSEPH 7.52
Lucas 6:23
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (in lib. de Logic c. 49.) Those things which may be measured or numbered are used definitely, but that which from a certain excellence surpasses all measure and number we call great and much indefinitely; as when we say that great is the longsuffering of God. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
