Dialogue with Trypho 31.1

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

Summary: If Christ's passion shows such power, his glorious second coming will show far more, as Daniel foretold.

Greek text · Archambault 1:132

Εἰ δὲ τῇ τοῦ πάθους αὐτοῦ οἰκονομίᾳ τοσαύτη δύναμις δείκνυται παρακολουθήσασα καὶ παρακολουθοῦσα, πόση ἡ ἐν τῇ ἐνδόξῳ γινομένῃ αὐτοῦ παρουσίᾳ; ὡς υἱὸς γὰρ ἀνθρώπου ἐπάνω νεφελῶν ἐλεύσεται, ὡς Δανιὴλ ἐμήνυσεν, ἀγγέλων σὺν αὐτῷ ἀφικνουμένων.

English · Claude translation

“But if so great a power is shown to have accompanied and still to accompany the dispensation of his passion, how great will be the power at his glorious coming? For he will come on the clouds as the Son of Man, as Daniel indicated, with angels coming with him.
