Chapter LVII. How he gave a poor man the border of his tunic

90. Once when a poor man begged of him and he had nothing in his hands, he unsewed the border of his own tunic and gave it to the poor man. Sometimes also in the like necessity he took off his drawers. Such was the abundance of his compassion toward the poor, such the earnestness with which he followed the footsteps of Christ the poor man.
