Cyril of Alexandria

Catena Aurea by Aquinas (444)

(in Thes. 32.) But how comes it that the Son (if as the heretics say a created being) is worshipped? What charge can be brought against those who served the creature and not the Creator, if the Son (according to them a created being) we are to worship as God? This command touched him to the quick; for before Christ's coming he was every where worshipped. But the law of God casting him down from his usurped dominion, establishes the worship of Him alone who is really God.

Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)

Jesus answered and said unto him,.... The following words, with indignation at him, and detestation of his proposals: get thee behind me, Satan; which are omitted in the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions, and in three ancient copies of Beza's, and in his most ancient one; but stand in other copies, and in the Arabic version. For it is written, thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
