Origen, on Luke 1:72
Origen · c. A.D. 184–253
Luke 1:72 · Douay-Rheims
“To perform mercy to our fathers, and to remember his holy testament,”
On this verse:
“I think that at the coming of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, both Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, were partakers of His mercy. For it is not to be believed, that they who had before seen His day, and were glad, should afterwards derive no advantage from His coming, since it is written, Having made peace through the blood of his Cross, whether in earth or in heaven. (Coloss. 1:20.)”
