2 Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. John the Dwarf wanted to be "without care like the angels, doing nothing but praise God." So he threw away his cloak, left his brothers and the Abbot, and went into the desert. But after seven days he came back and knocked at the door. "Who is there?" asked the Abbot. "John." "John is turned into an angel, and is no more among men." So he left him outside all night, and in the morning gave him to understand that if he was a man he must work, but that if he was an angel he had no need to live in a cell.
