Hilary of Poitiers, on Matt 24:9

“Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall put you to death: and you shall be hated by all nations for my name’s sake.”

“Such was Nicolaus, one of the seven deacons, who led astray many by his pretences. And Simon Magus who, armed with diabolic works and words, perverted many by false miracles.”
