Chapter XXVII.—How the Bishops regarded Origen.
He was so earnestly affected toward Origen, that he urged him to come to that country for the benefit of the churches, and moreover he visited him in Judea, remaining with him for some time, for the sake of improvement in divine things. And Alexander, Edition note 1 bishop of Jerusalem, and Theoctistus, Edition note 2 bishop of Cæsarea, attended on him constantly, Edition note 3 as their only teacher, and allowed Edition note 4 him to expound the Divine Scriptures, and to perform the other duties pertaining to ecclesiastical discourse. Edition note 5
About this reading layout
Source wording, punctuation, paragraph boundaries and supplied line breaks are retained. Long prose also has editorial reading breaks at sentence boundaries. Substantial passages already enclosed in double quotation marks are set apart; this does not identify their source or establish a connection.
These added breaks are reading aids, not claims about the original manuscript’s layout. Poetry is lineated only where the downloaded text supplies line breaks. References and edition notes remain with their text.
