Justin Martyr · Dialogue with Trypho · ca. 155–160 · Rome · Read in context

Summary: As Jacob was hated by his brother, so Christ and Christians are hated.

Greek text · Archambault 2:284

Τὸν χρόνον πάντα ἐμισεῖτο ὑπὸ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ ὁ Ἰακώβ· καὶ ἡμεῖς νῦν καὶ αὐτὸς ὁ κύριος ἡμῶν μισεῖται ὑφʼ ὑμῶν καὶ ὑπὸ τῶν ἄλλων ἁπλῶς ἀνθρώπων, ὄντων πάντων τῇ φύσει ἀδελφῶν. Ἰσραὴλ ἐπεκλήθη Ἰακώβ· καὶ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ὁ Χριστὸς ἀποδέδεικται, ὁ ὢν καὶ καλούμενος Ἰησοῦς.

English · Claude translation

“Jacob was hated all the time by his brother; and we now, and our Lord himself, are hated by you and by all other men, who are all brothers by nature. Jacob was called Israel; and Christ too has been shown to be Israel, he who is and is called Jesus.
