Irenaeus Against Heresies Book I Her anguish, again, was indicated when He said, "My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death; "[101] Irenaeus Against Heresies Book III nor would He have wept over Lazarus, nor have sweated great drops of blood; nor have declared, "My soul is exceeding sorrowful; "[437] Tertullian On the Flesh of Christ ," says He, "is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death; "[195] Tertullian On the Resurrection of the Flesh For He showed to what belongs (the incidents of) being destroyed, thrown down, and kept down-even to that to which it also appertains to be lifted and raised up again; although He was at the same time bearing about with Him "a soul that was trembling even unto death,"[107] Tertullian De Fuga in Persecutione He sometimes also fled from violence Himself, but for the same reason as had led Him to command the apostles to do so: that is, He wanted to fulfil His ministry of teaching; and when it was finished, I do not say He stood firm, but He had no desire even to get from His Father the aid of hosts of angels: finding fault, too, with Peter's sword. He likewise acknowledged, it is true, that His "soul was troubled, even unto death,"[31] Origen de Principiis Book II Father, and that very wisdom of God, in which were created all things, visible and invisible, can be believed to have existed within the limits of that man who appeared in Judea; nay, that the Wisdom of God can have entered the womb of a woman, and have been born an infant, and have uttered wailings like the cries of little children! And that afterwards it should be related that He was greatly troubled in death, saying, as He Himself; declared, "My soul is sorrowful even unto death; "[81] and, "My soul is sorrowful, even unto death; "[154] Origen de Principiis Book IV And again, "My soul is sorrowful even unto death."[36] Origen Against Celsus Book II And why do I say His body? Nay, not even His soul, of which it is related, "My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death."[26] Pseudo-Gregory Thaumaturgus Twelve Topics on the Faith that "He was sorrowful in soul,"[33] Origen Commentary on John Book II On account of these infirmities and sicknesses which He bore away from us, He declares His soul to be sorrowful and sore troubled,[80]
