Lucas 10

Lucas 10:3-4

[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (Orat. 2.) The sum of which is, that men ought to be so virtuous that the Gospel should make no less progress through their way of life than their preaching. (ubi sup.) The Lord gave them these commands also for the glory of the word, lest it should seem that enticements could more prevail over them. He wished them also not to be anxious to speak to others. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
