>>16951213Eusebius claims that, as a young man, following a literal misreading of Matthew 19:12, in which Jesus is presented as saying "there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuch for the sake of the kingdom of heaven",[51] Origen either castrated himself or had someone else castrate him in order to ensure his reputation as a respectable tutor to young men and women.[43][41][52][53] Eusebius further alleges that Origen privately told Demetrius, the bishop of Alexandria, about the castration and that Demetrius initially praised him for his devotion to God on account of it.[43] Origen, however, never mentions anything about having castrated himself in any of his surviving writings,[43][54] and in his exegesis of this verse in his Commentary on the Gospel of Matthew, written near the end of life, he strongly condemns any literal interpretation of Matthew 19:12,[43] asserting that only an idiot would interpret the passage as advocating literal castration.[43]
