Dialogue with Trypho 118.4 · Sophia Scriptura

Summary: Isa 52:15–53:1; Justin repeats for the newcomers.

Greek text · Archambault 2:208

Τοῦτο θαυμάζων Ἡσαίας ἔφη· Καὶ συνέξουσι βασιλεῖς τὸ στόμα αὐτῶν· ὅτι οἷς οὐκ ἀνηγγέλη περὶ αὐτοῦ ὄψονται, καὶ οἳ οὐκ ἀκηκόασι συνήσουσι. Κύριε, τίς ἐπίστευσε τῇ ἀκοῇ ἡμῶν; Καὶ ὁ βραχίων κυρίου τίνι ἀπεκαλύφθη; Καὶ ταῦτα λέγων, ἔφην, ὦ Τρύφων, ὡς ἐγχωρεῖ, διὰ τοὺς σήμερον σὺν σοὶ ἀφιγμένους ταὐτὰ λέγειν πειρῶμαι, βραχέως μέντοι καὶ περικεκομμένως.

English · Claude translation

“Marveling at this, Isaiah said: ‘And kings shall shut their mouths; for those to whom it was not announced about him will see, and those who have not heard will understand. Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?’ And in saying these things, Trypho,” I said, “I try, as far as possible, to say the same things for the sake of those who have come with you today, but briefly and concisely.”
