Origen — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Matthew 18:10-14

Patristic A.D. 253
Origen · c. A.D. 184–253
“But this exposition does not seem to agree with that which was said, If any one scandalizes one of these little ones; for the perfect man is not scandalized, nor does he perish. But he who thinks this the true exposition, says, that the mind of a righteous man is variable, and is sometimes offended, but not easily.”
