Commentary on Luke 15:11–322 voices
So it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of those little ones should perish. And all the publicans and sinners drew near to him to hear him. And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
John Calvin· Commentaries, 1554Reformed
You see that the divine inheritance is given to those who ask. You should not think that the Father was guilty because he gave to the younger son. There is no frail age in the kingdom of God nor is faith weighed down by years. He who made the request surely judged himself worthy. If only he had not departed from his Father, he would not have known the hindrance of age.
Ambrose of Milan· Exposition of the Gospel of Luke, 397Patristic
