Dialogue with Trypho 104.1 · Sophia Scriptura

Greek text · Archambault 2:142–144

Καὶ τὸ Εἰς χοῦν θανάτου κατήγαγές με, ὅτι ἐκύκλωσάν με κύνες πολλοί, συναγωγὴ πονηρευομένων περιέσχον με· ὤρυξαν χεῖράς μου καὶ πόδας μου, ἐξηρίθμησαν πάντα τὰ ὀστᾶ μου· αὐτοὶ δὲ κατενόησαν καὶ ἐπεῖδόν με· διεμερίσαντο τὰ ἱμάτιά μου ἑαυτοῖς, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν ἱματισμόν μου ἔβαλον κλῆρον, ὡς προεῖπον, προαγγελία ἦν διὰ ποίου θανάτου καταδικάζειν αὐτὸν ἔμελλεν ἡ συναγωγὴ τῶν πονηρευομένων, οὓς καὶ κύνας καλεῖ, καὶ κυνηγοὺς μηνύων, ὅτι αὐτοὶ οἱ κυνηγήσαντες καὶ συνήχθησαν οἱ ἀγωνιζόμενοι ἐπὶ τῷ καταδικάσασθαι αὐτόν· ὅπερ καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἀπομνημονεύμασι τῶν ἀποστόλων αὐτοῦ γέγραπται γενόμενον.

English · Claude translation

“And ‘You have brought me down into the dust of death, for many dogs have surrounded me; a gathering of evildoers has encircled me; they dug my hands and my feet, they counted all my bones; and they looked and stared at me; they divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots,’ was, as I said before, a foretelling of the death to which the synagogue of evildoers would condemn him, whom he also calls dogs, indicating also that they were hunters, because those who hunted him also gathered, striving to condemn him; which is also written in the memoirs of his apostles as having happened.
