And therefore we accord our belief to those who have\r\ntherein related that some rose from the dead, as not being\r\nguilty of imposition; and to Him especially there mentioned\r\n<span class=\"pageno\" id=\"Page_62\">62</span>as having risen, who both predicted the event Himself, and\r\nwas the subject of prediction by others. And His resurrection\r\nis more miraculous than that of the others in this respect, that\r\nthey were raised by the prophets Elijah and Elisha, while He\r\nwas raised by none of the prophets, but by His Father in\r\nheaven. And therefore His resurrection also produced greater\r\nresults than theirs. For what great good has accrued to the\r\nworld from the resurrection of the children through the instrumentality\r\nof Elijah and Elisha, such as has resulted from the\r\npreaching of the resurrection of Jesus, accepted as an article\r\nof belief, and as effected through the agency of divine\r\npower?”</p>","headings":["The writings of Origen, Vol. 2 of 2","BOOK II.","Chapter LVIII."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg70693-paragraph-103"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"8f0f3af96e7eed566ed178f936358768edaa7327fa84576754ed67893dc4508b","edition_title":"The writings of Origen, Vol. 2 (of 2)","edition_translators":["Frederick Crombie","W.
