Testimonia

{"author":null,"backreferences":[{"context_html":"<p class=\"c006\">2. It was, indeed, matter of surprise to men even of ordinary\r\nintelligence, that one who was accused and assailed by\r\nfalse testimony, but who was able to defend Himself, and to\r\nshow that He was guilty of none of the charges [alleged], and\r\nwho might have enumerated the praiseworthy deeds of His\r\nown life, and His miracles wrought by divine power, so as to\r\ngive the judge an opportunity of delivering a more honourable\r\njudgment regarding Him, should not have done this, but\r\nshould have disdained such a procedure, and in the nobleness\r\nof His nature have contemned His accusers.<a id=\"r1125\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f1125\"><sup>[1125]</sup></a> That the judge\r\nwould, without any hesitation, have set Him at liberty if He\r\nhad offered a defence, is clear from what is related of him\r\nwhen he said, “Which of the two do ye wish that I should\r\nrelease unto you, Barabbas or Jesus, who is called Christ?”<a id=\"r1126\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f1126\"><sup>[1126]</sup></a>\r\nand from what the Scripture adds, “For he knew that for\r\nenvy they had delivered Him.”<a id=\"r1127\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f1127\"><sup>[1127]</sup></a> Jesus, however, is at all\r\ntimes assailed by false witnesses, and, while wickedness remains\r\nin the world, is ever exposed to accusation. And yet\r\neven now He continues silent before these things, and makes\r\nno audible answer, but places His defence in the lives of His\r\ngenuine disciples, which are a pre-eminent testimony, and\r\none that rises superior to all false witness, and refutes and\r\noverthrows all unfounded accusations and charges.</p>","headings":["The Writings of Origen, Vol. 1 of 2","ORIGEN CONTRA CELSUM.","ORIGEN AGAINST CELSUS.
