Dialogue with Trypho 56.9 · Sophia Scriptura

Greek text · Archambault 1:252

Καὶ ὁ Τρύφων ἔφη· Μάλιστα· οὐκ ἐκ τούτου δὲ ἀπέδειξας ὅτι ἄλλος ἐστὶν ὁ θεὸς παρὰ τοῦτον τὸν ὀφθέντα τῷ Ἀβραάμ, ὃς καὶ τοῖς ἄλλοις πατριάρχαις καὶ προφήταις ὦπτο, ἀλλʼ ἡμᾶς ἀπέδειξας οὐκ ὀρθῶς νενοηκότας ὅτι οἱ τρεῖς, οἱ ἐν τῇ σκηνῇ παρὰ τῷ Ἀβραὰμ γενόμενοι, ὅλοι ἄγγελοι ἦσαν.

English · Claude translation

And Trypho said, “Certainly; but you have not proved from this that there is another God besides this one who appeared to Abraham, who also appeared to the other patriarchs and prophets; but you have proved that we did not understand rightly in thinking that the three who were in the tent with Abraham were all angels.”
