Origen, on Matt 25:14
Origen · c. A.D. 184–253
Matt 25:14 · Douay-Rheims
“For even as a man going into a far country, called his servants, and delivered to them his goods;”
On this verse:
“Into outer darkness, where is no light, perhaps not even physical light; and where God is not seen, but those who are condemned thereto are condemned as unworthy the contemplation of God. We have also read some one before us expounding this of the darkness of that abyss which is outside the world, as though unworthy of the world, they were cast out into that abyss, where is darkness with none to lighten it.”
