Hi. I saw this on a post. Something about it being from Origen. Can anyone point me to the book?
 
From what I’ve been able to gather online, it refers to a part of Origen’s Commentary on Matthew that is no longer extant in the original Greek but only known now in a Latin translation. The Latin translation seems to be available at, for example, Origenis in Matthaeum, Commentariorum Series, Sermon 117 (PG 13.1766-1769) (pdf). However, I could be wrong because my Latin is terrible. The “tract. xxxv.” reference appears to be either incorrect or an alternate numbering.

Thank you. I am looking for the reference that Origen speaks about Judas. I have seen the same “tract. xxxv” quoted everywhere but cannot find a “35” anywhere.

Summa Theologiae > Second Part of the Second Part > Question 90 Article 1. Whether it is lawful to adjure a man?
Objection 1. It would seem that it is not lawful to adjure a man. Origen says (Tract. xxxv super Matth.): “I deem that a man who wishes to live according to the Gospel should not adjure another man. For if, according to the Gospel mandate of Christ, it be unlawful to swear, it is evident that neither is it lawful to adjure: and consequently it is manifest that the high-priest unlawfully adjured Jesus by the living God.”

Reply to Objection 1. Origen is speaking of an adjuration whereby a man intends to put another under an obligation, in the same way as he would bind himself by oath: for thus did the high-priest presume to adjure our Lord Jesus Christ [Matthew 26:63].

Yes. I was assuming that you were interested in the place where Origen said of Judas something like, “… he desired to die before his Master on His way to death, and to meet Him with a disembodied spirit, that by confession and deprecation he might obtain mercy.” (Origen in St Thomas Aquinas’ Catena Aurea on Matthew 27:1-5)

I could be wrong but I think this is what Origen says, beginning at the second line from the top of page/column 1767, in the book I linked to in my earlier post:
Existimavit enim praevenire in morte moriturum
Magistrum, et occurrere ei cum anima nuda, ut
confitens, deprecans, misericordiam mereretur.
