Introductory Note to the Writings of Justin Martyr
[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.]
[2102] Literally, “cousin.”
[2104] Num. xi. 17, spoken of the seventy elders. Justin confuses what is said here with Num. xxvii. 18 and Deut. xxxiv. 9.
[2105] The meaning is, that no division of person took place. Elijah remained the same after as before his spirit was shed on John.
[2106] Literally, “fruit.”
Chapter L.—It is proved from Isaiah that John is the precursor of Christ.
