Patristic
“Again, a sinner foameth forth folly, gnasheth with anger, pineth away in sloth. But the evil spirit tears him, when coming to salvation, and in like manner those whom he would drag into his maw he tears asunder by terrors and losses, as he did Job.”
Catena Aurea: Gospel of Mark, as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Mark 9:14-29
