In each of existing things, which are necessarily\r\nemployed in the acquisition of knowledge, there are three elements;\r\n<span class=\"pageno\" id=\"Page_346\">346</span>knowledge itself is the fourth; and that ought to be\r\nlaid down as the fifth which is both capable of being known\r\nand is true. Of these, one is ‘name;’ the second is ‘word;’\r\nthe third, ‘image;’ the fourth, ‘knowledge.’”<a id=\"r1078\"></a><a class=\"c008 pginternal\" href=\"#f1078\"><sup>[1078]</sup></a> Now, according\r\nto this division, John is introduced before Jesus as the\r\nvoice of one crying in the wilderness, so as to correspond with\r\nthe “name” of Plato; and the second after John, who is\r\npointed out by him, is Jesus, with whom agrees the statement,\r\n“The Word became flesh,” and that corresponds to the “word”\r\nof Plato. Plato terms the third “image;” but we, who apply\r\nthe expression “image” to something different, would say\r\nwith greater precision, that the mark of the wounds which is\r\nmade in the soul by the word is the Christ which is in each\r\none of us, and this mark is impressed by Christ the Word.<a id=\"r1079\"></a><a class=\"c008 pginternal\" href=\"#f1079\"><sup>[1079]</sup></a>\r\nAnd whether Christ, the wisdom which is in those of us\r\nwho are perfect, correspond to the “fourth” element—knowledge—will\r\nbecome known to him who has the capacity to\r\nascertain it.</p>","headings":["The writings of Origen, Vol. 2 of 2","BOOK VI.","Chapter IX."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg70693-paragraph-402"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"20c5140a224ad37469870d96de15a88375e80a79a1ffba12ca897338f941e98f","edition_title":"The writings of Origen, Vol. 2 (of 2)","edition_translators":["Frederick Crombie","W.
