{"author":null,"backreferences":[{"context_html":"<p class=\"c005\">But, moreover, taking the history, contained in the Gospel\r\naccording to Matthew, of our Lord’s descent into Egypt, he\r\nrefuses to believe the miraculous circumstances attending it,\r\nviz. either that the angel gave the divine intimation, or that\r\nour Lord’s quitting Judea and residing in Egypt was an\r\nevent of any significance; but he invents something altogether\r\ndifferent, admitting somehow the miraculous works done by\r\nJesus, by means of which He induced the multitude to follow\r\nHim as the Christ. And yet he desires to throw discredit on\r\nthem, as being done by help of magic and not by divine power;\r\nfor he asserts “that he (Jesus), having been brought up as\r\nan illegitimate child, and having served for hire in Egypt, and\r\nthen coming to the knowledge of certain miraculous powers,\r\nreturned from thence to his own country, and by means of\r\nthose powers proclaimed himself a God.” Now I do not\r\nunderstand how a magician should exert himself to teach a\r\ndoctrine which persuades us always to act as if God were to\r\n<span class=\"pageno\" id=\"Page_439\">439</span>judge every man for his deeds; and should have trained his\r\ndisciples, whom he was to employ as the ministers of his\r\ndoctrine, in the same belief. For did the latter make an\r\nimpression upon their hearers, after they had been so taught\r\nto work miracles; or was it without the aid of these? The\r\nassertion, therefore, that they did no miracles at all, but that,\r\nafter yielding their belief to arguments which were not at\r\nall convincing, like the wisdom of Grecian dialectics,<a id=\"r1188\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f1188\"><sup>[1188]</sup></a> they\r\ngave themselves up to the task of teaching the new doctrine\r\nto those persons among whom they happened to take up their\r\nabode, is altogether absurd. For in what did they place their\r\nconfidence when they taught the doctrine and disseminated\r\nthe new opinions? But if they indeed wrought miracles,\r\nthen how can it be believed that magicians exposed themselves\r\nto such hazards to introduce a doctrine which forbade\r\nthe practice of magic?</p>","headings":["The Writings of Origen, Vol. 1 of 2","ORIGEN CONTRA CELSUM.","ORIGEN AGAINST CELSUS.
