Origen's Commentary on the Gospel of Matthew
Show All Footnotes & Jump to 6157
From the First Book of the Commentary on Matthew.
[6147] τελετὰς. Origen’s play on the words ἐτέλεσεν and τελετή cannot be fully reproduced in English. The word τελετή, in reference to the mysteries, meant the rite, or participation in the rite, by which one became perfect; and in later Christian usage it was applied to the Sacraments of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. See Suicer.
[6149] 1 Cor. ii. 4. πνεύματος δυνάμεως. The omission of the καὶ is strange; for in the Contra Celsum (i. 2) Origen characterises the argument from prophecy as “the demonstration of the Spirit” and the argument from miracles as “the demonstration of power.”
