Introductory Note to the Writings of Justin Martyr
[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.
Chapter LI.—It is proved that this prophecy has been fulfilled.
[2109] Chap. xxv.
[2110] “Are willing.”
Chapter LII.—Jacob predicted two advents of Christ.
[2112] [Gen. xlix. 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 18, 24. These texts are frequently referred to by Justin.]
[2113] Or, “in comparison of.”
