"In the third century, the scholar Origen is said to have interpreted literally Matt. 19:12 'There are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven'-and castrated himself. Origen later became a preeminent theologian of his age-and an advocate of figurative interpretation."
Hilarious.
