Church Fathers on Matthew 25:28

In the foregoing parable is set forth the condemnation of such as have not prepared sufficient oil for themselves, whether by oil is meant the brightness of good works, or inward joy of conscience, or alms paid in money.

Gloss (Glossa Ordinaria) · medieval compilation

This parable is delivered against those who will not assist their neighbours either with money, or words, or in any other way, but hide all that they have.

Chrysostom · 4th century

The man in travelling into a far country is our Redeemer, who ascended into heaven in that flesh which He had taken upon Him. For the proper home of the flesh is the earth, and it, as it were, travels into a foreign country, when it is placed by the Redeemer in heaven.
