Introductory Note to the Writings of Justin Martyr
[2080] In Bible, “Job;” Maranus prefers “Jacob,” and thinks the mention of his name very suitable to disprove the arrogant claims of Jacob’s posterity.
[2083] Some refer this to Christ’s baptism. See Cyprian, Adv. Jud. i. 24.— Otto.
Chapter XLV.—Those who were righteous before and under the law shall be saved by Christ.
[2084] It, i.e., the law, or “what in the law,” etc.
[2085] Those who live after Christ.
[2086] “Eternal,” i.e., as the Jew thinks.
[2087] Literally, “put you out of countenance.”
[2090] Literally, “importuning.”
[2091] “Or, Are there not some,” etc.
[2092] The text seems to be corrupt. Otto reads: “Do anathematize those who put their trust in this very Christ so as to obtain salvation,” etc.
[2094] [Comp. St. John xii. 47, 48.] Grabius thinks this taken from the [apocryphal] Gospel according to the Hebrews. It is not in the New or Old Testament. [Query. Is it not, rather, one of the traditional sayings preserved among early Christians?]
[2095] Comp. Isa. xxix. 13.
[2096] Or, “such a man.”
[2097] Some read, “of your race,” referring to the Ebionites. Maranus believes the reference is to the Ebionites, and supports in a long note the reading “our,” inasmuch as Justin would be more likely to associate these Ebionites with Christians than with Jews, even though they were heretics.
[2098] Langus translates: “Nor would, indeed, many who are of the same opinion as myself say so.”
[2099] [Note this emphatic testimony of primitive faith.]
