Origen, on Luke 2:33
Origen · c. A.D. 184–253
Luke 2:33 · Douay-Rheims
“And his father and mother were wondering at those things which were spoken concerning him.”
On this verse:
“There is also a deeper meaning aimed against those who raise their voices against their Creator, saying, Behold the God of the Law and the Prophets of what sort He is! He says, I kill, and I make alive. (Deut. 32:39.) If God then is a bloody judge and a cruel master, it is most plain that Jesus is His Son, since the same things here are written of Him, namely, that he comes for the fall and rising again of many.”
