Introductory Note to the Writings of Justin Martyr
[2330] [Note this testimony to Mary’s descent from David.]
[2331] The text is, αὐτὸν τὸν ᾽Αβραὰμ πατέρα. Thirlby proposed αὐτὸν τὸυ ᾽Αδὰμ: Maranus changed this into αὐτοῦ τὸν ᾽Αδὰμ πατέρα.
[2332] It is not easy, says Maranus, to say in what Scripture Christ is so called. [Clearly he refers to the Dayspring (St. Luke i. 78) as the LXX. render many texts of the O.T. See Zech. iii. 8.] Perhaps Justin had in his mind the passage, “This the day which the Lord hath made” (Ps. 118:24). Clem. Alex. teaches that Christ is here referred to.
[2333] Luke i. 35. See Meyer in loc.
Chapter CI.—Christ refers all things to the Father
[2336] The text is corrupt, and the meaning doubtful. Otto translates: naribus inter se certantes.
[2340] Not found in mss.
Chapter CIII.—The Pharisees are the bulls: the roaring lion is Herod or the devil.
[2341] καὶ τῶν διδασκάλων, adopted instead of κατὰ τὴν διδασκαλίαν, “according to their instructions.”
[2342] ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄρους. Justin seems to have supposed that the Jews came on Christ from some point of the hill while He was in the valley below. ᾽Επὶ τοῦ ὄρους and ἐπὶ τὸ ὄρος have been suggested.
[2344] Ps. ii. 7;Matt. iii. 17.
[2346] Literally, “said.”
[2347] Maranus says it is hardly to be doubted that Justin read, “I am poured out like water,” etc.
