John Chrysostom, Homilies on Matthew Homily 15
“Hear what precept Christ gave to the Jews, creeping as they did upon the earth: “If thou see,” saith He, “thine enemy’s beast of burden falling down, do not hasten by, but raise it.”” — editor's note: Exod. xxiii. 5; Deut. xxii. 4. [The citation is made very freely from the LXX. The former passage was probably in the mind of the preacher.—R.]
