Portrait of Origen Origen Ante-Nicene Fathers Vol. IX, Origen on Matthew… (1885)

But since “love seeketh not its own,” [3] Jesus did not do that which Peter thought good; wherefore He descended from the mountain to those who were not able to ascend to it and behold His transfiguration, that they might behold Him in such form as they were able to see Him. It is, therefore, the part of a righteous man who possesses “the love which seeketh not its own” [4] to be free from all, but to bring himself under bondage to all those below that He might gain the more of them.
