He puts an end to the woman’s fear ... He sets her right, in respect of her thinking to be hid ... He exhibits her faith to all, so as to provoke the rest also to emulation ...
-St. John Chrysostom, Homily 31 on Matthew 9, 4th Century


We advance toward humility by means of trials. He who rests on his virtue without suffering tribulation has the door of pride open before him.
-St. Isaac of Syria, Homily 57, in Ascetical Homilies, p. 283, 7th century
