John Chrysostom

The men come at the right moment to solve his doubt: just as (the Lord) suffered Joseph first to be perturbed in mind, and then sends the Angel: for the soul with ease accepts the solution, when it has first been in perplexity. His perplexity neither lasts long (when it did occur), nor (did it occur) before this, but just at the moment when they "asked whether he were lodging there."

Theophylact of Ohrid

And moreover, he did not have to remain in perplexity for long, nor did it arise beforehand, but at the very moment when they were asking whether he was staying there.
