Dialogue with Trypho 110.1 · Sophia Scriptura

Summary: Jewish teachers apply Micah 4 to the Messiah, who has not yet come or is hidden.

Greek text · Archambault 2:162–164

Καὶ τελέσας ταῦτα ἐπεῖπον· Καὶ ὅτι οἱ διδάσκαλοι ὑμῶν, ὦ ἄνδρες, τοὺς πάντας λόγους τῆς περικοπῆς ταύτης εἰς τὸν Χριστὸν ὁμολογοῦσιν εἰρῆσθαι, ἐπίσταμαι· καὶ αὐτὸν ὅτι οὐδέπω φασὶν ἐληλυθέναι, καὶ τοῦτο γινώσκω· εἰ δὲ καὶ ἐληλυθέναι λέγουσιν, οὐ γινώσκεται ὅς ἐστιν, ἀλλʼ ὅταν ἐμφανὴς καὶ ἔνδοξος γένηται, τότε γνωσθήσεται ὅς ἐστι, φασί.

English · Claude translation

And when I had finished this I added: “And I know, sirs, that your teachers admit that all the words of this passage were spoken of the Christ; and I know too that they say he has not yet come; or if they say he has come, they say it is not known who he is, but when he becomes manifest and glorious, then it will be known who he is.
