The Fathers on this verse
St John Chrysostom The Homilies of St. John Chrysostom, Matthew IX. 27-30
And not from this circumstance only were these the greater, but also from their obedience: in that they shrink not, nor are they backward, like those of old;but, warned as they are of perils, and wars, and of those insupportable evils, they receive with great obedience His injunctions, as being heralds of a kingdom.
