“Although the devils proclaimed the reality to the Lord(You are the Son of God Luke 4:41), He closed their mouths and did not let them speak, lest they plant their evil with the truth. Our Lord also did this to make us not care about them at all, even if they speak about the truth. It is not right for us after receiving the Holy Bible and freedom from our Saviour, to learn from Satan, who did not keep his heavenly rank.” – St. Anthony the Great
