Matthew 21:1–3
He says the disciples are two — that is, apostles and evangelists — who became Christ’s co-workers and servants for this. Or he also means angels who serve Christ for our ransom, “ascending and descending on the Son of Man.” (John 1:51) And if the one who bound them with the cords of sins asks, “What are you doing?” (Matthew 21:1–3) still, unable to withstand the Savior’s words, he will fall silent — not willingly, because of the excess of power. In this the call is shown to be divine.

∆ύο δέ φησιν εἶναι τοὺς μαθητάς, ὅ ἐστιν ἀποστόλους καὶ εὐαγ γελιστάς, οἵτινες γεγόνασιν συνεργοὶ καὶ ὑπηρέται Χριστοῦ πρὸς τοῦτο. ἢ καὶ εὐαγγέλους λέγει τοὺς ὑπηρετοῦντας Χριστῷ πρὸς ἡμετέραν λύτρωσιν "ἀναβαίνοντας καὶ καταβαίνοντας ἐπὶ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου". εἰ δὲ ἐρωτήσει ὁ καταδήσας αὐτοὺς ταῖς σειραῖς τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν "τί ποιεῖτε", ἀλλ' οὖν οὐ δυνάμενος ἀντιστῆναι τοῖς τοῦ σωτῆρος λόγοις σιωπήσεται οὐχ ἑκὼν διὰ τὸ ὑπερβάλλον τῆς δυνάμεως· θεία δὲ ἡ κλῆσις ἐν τούτῳ δεδήλωται.
