Cyril of Alexandria · Comentário Patrístico (catena)

Marcos 5:7

[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (non occ.) See how the devil is divided between two passions, fear and audacity; he hangs back and prays, as if meditating a question; he wishes to know what he had to do with Jesus, as though he would say, Do you cast me out from men, who are mine? — Catena Aurea by Aquinas

Marcos 5:8

[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (non occ.) Consider the unconquerable power of Christ; He makes Satan shake, for to him the words of Christ are fire and flame; as the Psalmist says, The mountains melted at the presence of the Lord, (Ps. 97:5) that is, great and proud powers. There follows, And he asked him, What is thy name? — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
