Testimonia

{"author":null,"backreferences":[{"context_html":"<p class=\"c005\">And since Celsus, although professing to know all about\r\nthe Gospel, reproaches the Saviour because of His sufferings,\r\nsaying that He received no assistance from the Father, or\r\nwas unable to aid Himself; we have to state that His sufferings\r\nwere the subject of prophecy, along with the cause of\r\nthem; because it was for the benefit of mankind that He\r\nshould die on their account,<a id=\"r1218\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f1218\"><sup>[1218]</sup></a> and should suffer stripes because\r\nof His condemnation. It was predicted, moreover, that some\r\nfrom among the Gentiles would come to the knowledge of\r\nHim (among whom the prophets are not included); and\r\n<span class=\"pageno\" id=\"Page_457\">457</span>it had been declared that He would be seen in a form\r\nwhich is deemed dishonourable among men. The words of\r\nprophecy run thus: “Lo, my Servant shall have understanding,\r\nand shall be exalted and glorified, and raised exceedingly\r\nhigh. In like manner, many shall be astonished\r\nat Thee; so Thy form shall be in no reputation among men,\r\nand Thy glory among the sons of men. Lo, many nations\r\nshall marvel because of Him; and kings shall close their\r\nmouths: because they, to whom no message about Him was\r\nsent, shall see Him; and they who have not heard of Him,\r\nshall have knowledge of Him.”<a id=\"r1219\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f1219\"><sup>[1219]</sup></a> “Lord, who hath believed\r\nour report? and to whom was the arm of the Lord revealed?\r\nWe have reported, as a child before Him, as a root in a\r\nthirsty ground. He has no form nor glory; and we beheld\r\nHim, and He had not any form nor beauty: but His appearance\r\nwas without honour, and deficient more than that of all\r\nmen. He was a man under suffering, and who knew how to\r\nbear sickness: because His countenance was averted, He was\r\ntreated with disrespect, and was made of no account. This\r\nman bears our sins, and suffers pain on our behalf; and we regarded\r\nHim as in trouble, and in suffering, and as ill-treated.\r\nBut He was wounded for our sins, and bruised for our iniquities.\r\nThe chastisement of our peace was upon Him; by\r\nHis stripes we were healed. We all, like sheep, wandered\r\nfrom the way. A man wandered in his way, and the Lord\r\ndelivered Him on account of our sins; and He, because of His\r\nevil treatment, opens not His mouth. As a sheep was He led\r\nto slaughter; and as a lamb before her shearer is dumb, so\r\nHe opens not His mouth. In His humiliation His judgment\r\nwas taken away. And who shall describe His generation?\r\nbecause His life is taken away from the earth; because of\r\nthe iniquities of my people was He led unto death.”<a id=\"r1220\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f1220\"><sup>[1220]</sup></a></p>","headings":["The Writings of Origen, Vol. 1 of 2","ORIGEN CONTRA CELSUM.","ORIGEN AGAINST CELSUS.
