Church Fathers on Luke 16:20
Our Lord had just before advised the making friends of the Mammon of unrighteousness, which the Pharisees derided. He next confirms by examples what he had set before them, saying, There was a certain rich man, &c.
There was, not is, because he had passed away as a fleeting shadow.
But not all poverty is holy, or all riches criminal, but as luxury disgraces riches, so does holiness commend poverty.
