Testimonia

For if it had been\r\npossible for the one to abstain from the act of betrayal, and\r\nthe other from that of denial, as having been warned of the\r\nconsequences of these actions beforehand, then His words were\r\nno longer true, who predicted that the one would betray Him\r\nand the other deny Him. For if He had foreknowledge of\r\nthe traitor, He knew the wickedness in which the treason\r\n<span class=\"pageno\" id=\"Page_25\">25</span>originated, and this wickedness was by no means taken away\r\nby the foreknowledge. And, again, if He had ascertained\r\nthat one would deny Him, He made that prediction from\r\nseeing the weakness out of which that act of denial would\r\narise, and yet this weakness was not to be taken away thus\r\nat once<a id=\"r91\"></a><a class=\"c008 pginternal\" href=\"#f91\"><sup>[91]</sup></a> by the foreknowledge. But whence he derived the\r\nstatement, “that these persons betrayed and denied him without\r\nmanifesting any concern about him,” I know not; for it\r\nwas proved, with respect to the traitor, that it is false to say\r\nthat he betrayed his master without an exhibition of anxiety\r\nregarding Him. And this was shown to be equally true of\r\nhim who denied Him; for he went out, after the denial, and\r\nwept bitterly.</p>","headings":["The writings of Origen, Vol. 2 of 2","BOOK II.","Chapter XVIII."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg70693-paragraph-58"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"66f20751f06f300194e84d06887a406f7b382e43b07d3b53e5e796b2cf26ff6b","edition_title":"The writings of Origen, Vol. 2 (of 2)","edition_translators":["Frederick Crombie","W.
