Introductory Note to the Writings of Justin Martyr
[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.
[2118] Literally, “inquired into.”
Chapter LV.—Trypho asks that Christ be proved God, but without metaphor. Justin promises to do so.
[2119] Deut. iv. 19, an apparent [i.e., evident] misinterpretation of the passage. [But see St.John x. 33-36.]
[2120] Or, “misusing.”
[2122] Com. reading, “you;” evidently wrong.
[2123] Literally, “for.”
[2124] Two constructions, “which” referring either to Scriptures as whole, or to what he records from them. Last more probable.
Chapter LVI.—God who appeared to Moses is distinguished from God the Father.
[2126] Gen. xix. 27, 28; “and so on” inserted probably not by Justin, but by some copyist, as is evident from succeeding words.
