Introductory Note to the Writings of Justin Martyr
[1839] The reader will notice that these are not the words of Zephaniah, but of Zechariah (ix. 9), to whom also Justin himself refers them in the Dial. Tryph., c. 53. [Might be corrected in the text, therefore, as a clerical slip of the pen.]
Chapter XXXVII.—Utterances of the Father.
[1841] Isa. i. 3. This quotation varies only in one word from that of the LXX.
[1843] Isa. i. 14,Isa. lviii. 6.
Chapter XXXVIII.—Utterances of the Son.
[1846] Ps. xxii. 18, Ps. iii. 5.
[1848] Comp. Matt. xxvii. 39.
Chapter XXXIX.—Direct predictions by the Spirit.
[1850] Eurip., Hipp., 608.
Chapter XL.—Christ’s advent foretold.
[1851] Ps. xix. 2, etc. [Note how J. excuses himself for the apparent irrelevancy of some of his citations (cap. xxxv., note), though quite in the manner of Plato himself. These Scriptures were of novel interest, and was stimulating his readers to study the Septuagint.]
Chapter XLI.—The crucifixion predicted.
[1853] Ps. xcvi. 1, etc. This last clause, which is not extant in our copies, either of the LXX, or of the Hebrew, Justin charged the Jews with erasing. See Dial. Tryph., c. 73. [Concerning the eighteen Jewish alterations, see Pearson on the Creed, art. iv. p. 335. Ed. London, 1824.]
Chapter XLII.—Prophecy using the past tense.
[1854] A chronological error, whether of the copyist or of Justin himself cannot be known.
Chapter XLIII.—Responsibility asserted.
[1855] Or, “but were made so.” The words are, ἀλλὰ τοῦτο γενόμενος and the meaning of Justin is sufficiently clear.
Chapter XLIV.—Not nullified by prophecy.
[1857] Isa. i. 16, etc.
[1858] Plato, Rep. x. [On this remarkable passage refer to Biog. Note above. See, also, brilliant note of the sophist De Maistre, Œuvres, ii. p. 105. Ed. Paris, 1853.]
[1859] [On the Orphica and Sibyllina, see Bull, Works, vol. vi. pp. 291–298.]
Chapter XLV.—Christ’s session in heaven foretold.
