Dialogue with Trypho 70.4
Summary: Isaiah's “bread” and “water” foretell the Eucharist.
Greek text · Archambault 1:342
Ὅτι μὲν οὖν καὶ λέγει ἐν ταύτῃ τῇ προφητείᾳ περὶ τοῦ ἄρτου, ὃν παρέδωκεν ἡμῖν ὁ ἡμέτερος Χριστὸς ποιεῖν εἰς ἀνάμνησιν τοῦ σεσωματοποιῆσθαι αὐτὸν διὰ τοὺς πιστεύοντας εἰς αὐτόν, διʼ οὓς καὶ παθητὸς γέγονε, καὶ περὶ τοῦ ποτηρίου, ὃ εἰς ἀνάμνησιν τοῦ αἵματος αὐτοῦ παρέδωκεν εὐχαριστοῦντας ποιεῖν, φαίνεται. Καὶ ὅτι βασιλέα τοῦτον αὐτὸν μετὰ δόξης ὀψόμεθα, αὕτη ἡ προφητεία δηλοῖ.
English · Claude translation
“Now it is plain that in this prophecy he speaks of the bread which our Christ handed down to us to do in remembrance of his having been made flesh for the sake of those who believe in him, for whom he also became subject to suffering; and of the cup, which he handed down to be done, giving thanks, in remembrance of his blood. And this prophecy shows that we shall see this same one as King with glory.
