ACC ~ Revelation 2 v13b

THE MARTYR RECALLS THE ENDURANCE OF FAITH. ANDREW OF CAESAREA: Antipas was a most courageous martyr in Pergamum, whose martyrdom I have read. Here the Evangelist recalls his memory as a demonstration of their endurance, as well as of the cruelty of those who were deceived. COMMENTARY ON THE APOCALYPSE 2.13.

CHRIST IS MARTYRED BY UNBELIEF AND SIN. TYCONIUS: “You hold my name and you did not deny my faith, even in the days of Antipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you.” Indeed, Christ is killed among many, who either do not believe that he rose again, or who deny him among themselves through condemnable faults, and this is “where Satan dwells.” COMMENTARY ON THE APOCALYPSE 2.13.
