Dialogue with Trypho 24.1 · Sophia Scriptura

Greek text · Archambault 1:108–110

Καὶ τοῦτο μὲν οὖν δυνατὸν ἦν ἡμῖν ἐπιδεῖξαι, ὦ ἄνδρες, ἔλεγον, ὅτι ἡ ἡμέρα ἡ ὀγδόη μυστήριόν τι εἶχε κηρυσσόμενον διὰ τούτων ὑπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ μᾶλλον τῆς ἑβδόμης. Ἀλλʼ ἵνα τανῦν μὴ ἐπʼ ἄλλους ἐκτρέπεσθαι λόγους δοκῶ, σύνετε, βοῶ, ὅτι τὸ αἷμα τῆς περιτομῆς ἐκείνης κατήργηται, καὶ αἵματι σωτηρίῳ πεπιστεύκαμεν· ἄλλη διαθήκη τανῦν, καὶ ἄλλος ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ Σιὼν νόμος.

English · Claude translation

“And indeed we could show, sirs,” I said, “that the eighth day had some mystery, proclaimed by God through these things, more than the seventh. But so that I may not now seem to turn aside to other subjects, understand, I cry, that the blood of that circumcision has been abolished, and we have believed in the saving blood; there is now another covenant, and another law has gone out from Zion.
