Dialogue with Trypho 32.2 · Sophia Scriptura

Greek text · Archambault 1:138–140

Κἀγὼ πρὸς αὐτόν· Εἰ μέν, ὦ ἄνδρες, μὴ ἀπὸ τῶν γραφῶν, ὧν προανιστόρησα, τὸ εἶδος αὐτοῦ ἄδοξον καὶ τὸ γένος αὐτοῦ ἀδιήγητον, καὶ ἀντὶ τοῦ θανάτου αὐτοῦ τοὺς πλουσίους θανατωθήσεσθαι, καὶ τῷ μώλωπι αὐτοῦ ἡμεῖς ἰάθημεν, καὶ ὡς πρόβατον ἀχθήσεσθαι ἐλέγετο, καὶ δύο παρουσίας αὐτοῦ γενήσεσθαι ἐξηγησάμην, μίαν μὲν ἐν ᾗ ἐξεκεντήθη ὑφʼ ὑμῶν, δευτέραν δὲ ὅτε ἐπιγνώσεσθε εἰς ὃν ἐξεκεντήσατε, καὶ κόψονται αἱ φυλαὶ ὑμῶν, φυλὴ πρὸς φυλήν, αἱ γυναῖκες κατʼ ἰδίαν καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες κατʼ ἰδίαν, ἀσαφῆ καὶ ἄπορα ἐδόκουν λέγειν· νῦν δὲ διὰ πάντων τῶν λόγων ἀπὸ τῶν παρʼ ὑμῖν ἁγίων καὶ προφητικῶν γραφῶν τὰς πάσας ἀποδείξεις ποιοῦμαι, ἐλπίζων τινὰ ἐξ ὑμῶν δύνασθαι εὑρεθῆναι ἐκ τοῦ κατὰ χάριν τὴν ἀπὸ τοῦ κυρίου σαβαὼθ περιλειφθέντος εἰς τὴν αἰώνιον σωτηρίαν.

English · Claude translation

And I said to him, “If, sirs, I had not explained from the Scriptures I recounted before that his form was without glory and his generation not to be told, and that in return for his death the rich would be put to death, and by his stripes we were healed, and that he was said to be led like a sheep; and that there would be two comings of his, one in which he was pierced by you, and a second when you will recognize him whom you pierced, and your tribes will mourn, tribe by tribe, the women apart and the men apart, I would seem to be saying obscure and puzzling things. But now I make all my proofs from all the words of the holy and prophetic Scriptures among you, hoping that some of you may be found among those left over by the grace that is from the Lord of hosts for everlasting salvation.
