Origen, on Matt 19:27
Origen · c. A.D. 184–253
Matt 19:27 · Douay-Rheims
“Then Peter answering, said to him: Behold we have left all things, and have followed thee: what therefore shall we have?”
On this verse:
“And in this world, because for his brethren after the flesh he shall find many brethren in the faith; for parents, all the Bishops and Presbyters; for sons, all that have the age of sons. The Angels also are brethren, and all they are sisters that have offered themselves chaste virgins to Christ, as well they that still continue on earth, as they that now live in heaven. The houses and lands manifold more suppose in the repose of Paradise, and the city of God. And besides all these things they shall possess eternal life.”
