Luke 17:34 I say to you: *in that night there shall be two men in one bed: the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.

John 12:25.; Matthew 24:40.
By these different examples, Christ wishes to insinuate that good and bad men will be found in every state of life. By those in bed, are understood the rich, by those in the mill, are understood the poor; whilst those in the field designate the pastors of his flock, who are labouring in the vineyard of the Lord. (St. Cyril and St. Ambrose)
