Introductory Note to the Writings of Justin Martyr
[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.”
[2115] ἀφ’ οὗ; many translated “under whom,” as if ἐφ’ οὗ. This would be erroneous. Conjectured also ἔφυγε for ἔπαθεν.
Chapter LIII.—Jacob predicted that Christ would ride on an ass, and Zechariah confirms it.
Chapter LIV.—What the blood of the grape signifies.
