Introductory Note to the Writings of Justin Martyr

[2459] Isa. lxvi. 24.

[2460] The reading is, “and calls them by the same name.” But the whole argument shows that the Jews and Gentiles are distinguished by name. [But that Gentiles are also called (Israel) by the same name is the point here.]

Chapter CXXXI.—How much more faithful to God the Gentiles are who are converted to Christ than the Jews.

[2461] Deut. xxxii. 7 ff.

Chapter CXXXII.—How great the power was of the name of Jesus in the Old Testament.

[2462] [Another Americanism. Greek, θεάσασθαι.]

[2463] The anacoluthon is in the original.

[2464] See 1 Sam. v.

[2465] Or, “by the power of the name.” [1 Sam. vi. 14. Joshua in English version.]

Chapter CXXXIII.—The hard-heartedness of the Jews, for whom the Christians pray.

[2466] Isa. iii. 9-15.

[2467] Literally, “provoked.”

[2468] Literally, “turned away.”

[2469] Isa. v. 18-25.

Chapter CXXXV.—Christ is king of Israel, and Christians are the Israelitic race.

[2470] Isa. xliii. 15.

[2471] Isa. xlii. 1-4.

[2472] Isa. lxv. 9-12.

[2473] Isa. ii. 5 f.

Chapter CXXXVI.—The Jews, in rejecting Christ, rejected God who sent him.

[2474] Isa. lxv. 8 f.

[2475] Isa. iii. 9.

Chapter CXXXVII.—He exhorts the Jews to be converted.

[2476] Zech. ii. 8.

[2477] [Justin’s varied quotations of the same text seem to have been of purpose. But consult Kaye’s most useful note as to the text of the LXX., in answer to objections of Wetstein, p. 20. ff.]

[2478] Isa. iii. 9.

Chapter CXXXVIII.—Noah is a figure of Christ, who has regenerated us by water, and faith, and wood: [i.e., the cross.]

[2479] Isa. liv. 9 comes nearer to these words than any other passage; but still the exact quotation is not in Isaiah, or in any other part of Scripture. [It is quite probable that Isa. liv. 9 was thus misunderstood by the Jews, as Trypho seems to acquiesce.]

Chapter CXXXIX.—The blessings, and also the curse, pronounced by Noah were prophecies of the future.
