Dialogue with Trypho
Justin Martyr
A literary dialogue in which Justin recounts his conversion to Christianity and debates Scripture, covenant, messianic prophecy, law, and the identity of God’s people with a Jewish interlocutor.
“As, then, circumcision began with Abraham
Chap. xiii.
Or, “was I led.”
Literally, “He was in the world, being born.”
See Chap. lxvi.
Literally, “disobeys evil” (ἀπειθεῖ πονηρά). Conjectured: ἀπωθεῖ, and ἀπειθεῖ πονηρία.
The mss. of Justin read, “shall be taken:” καταληφθήσεται. This is plainly a mistake for καταλειφθήσεται; but whether the mistake is Justin’s or the transcribers’, it would be difficult to say, as Thirlby remarks.
The rendering of this doubtful: literally, “from the face of the two kings,” and the words might go with “shall be forsaken.”
Isa. vii. 10–17 with Isa. viii. 4 inserted. The last clause may also be translated, “in which He took away from Judah Ephraim, even the king of Assyria.”
