Introductory Note to the Writings of Justin Martyr
[2176] Heresy or sect.
[2177] Or, “among us.” Maranus pronounces against this latter reading for the following reasons: (1.) The Jews had their own heresies which supplied many things to the Christian heresies, especially to Menander and Saturninus. (2.) The sect which Justin here refutes was of opinion that God spoke to angels. But those angels, as Menander and Saturninus invented, “exhorted themselves, saying, Let us make,” etc. (3.) The expression διδάσκαλοι suits the rabbins well. So Justin frequently calls them. (4.) Those teachers seem for no other cause to have put the words in the angels’ mouths than to eradicate the testimony by which they proved divine persons.
[2178] Josh. v. 13 ad fin., and Josh.vi. 1, 2.
Chapter LXIII.—It is proved that this God was incarnate.
[2180] Note this beautiful rendering, Ps. 110:3.
[2182] Or, “to us.”
[2183] ἄνωθεν; in Lat. vers. antiquitus, which Maranus prefers.
[2184] Literally, “garments of gold, variegated.”
[2186] The incarnation, etc.
[2187] “Being so,” literally.
Chapter LXIV.—Justin adduces other proofs to the Jew, who denies that he needs this Christ.
[2188] Literally, “but only sharpen yourselves to say something.”
[2189] [Or, “this one.”]
[2191] Or, “to judge,” as in chap. xxxiv.
[2192] Ps. lxxii. 1, etc.
[2194] Literally, “importuned.”
