when the day had dawned, some one came in and said: “There is a very great multitude
waiting in the court, and in the midst of them stands Simon, endeavouring to preoccupy the ears
of the people with most wicked persuasions.” Then Peter, immediately going out, stood in the
place where he had disputed the day before, and all the people turning to him with joy, gave heed
to him. But when Simon perceived that the people rejoiced at the sight of Peter, and were moved
to love him, he said in confusion: “I wonder at the folly of men, who call me a magician, and love
Peter; whereas, having knowledge of me of old, they ought to love me rather. And therefore from
this sign those who have sense may understand that Peter may rather seem to be the magician, since
affection is not borne to me, to whom it is almost due from acquaintance, but is abundantly expended
upon him, to whom it is not due by any familiarity. - Nazarene Acts of Peter
