Greek text · Archambault 1:318

Καὶ ὁ Τρύφων ἀπεκρίνατο· Ἡ γραφὴ οὐκ ἔχει· Ἰδοὺ ἡ παρθένος ἐν γαστρὶ λήψεται καὶ τέξεται υἱόν, ἀλλʼ· Ἰδοὺ ἡ νεᾶνις ἐν γαστρὶ λήψεται καὶ τέξεται υἱόν, καὶ τὰ ἑξῆς λοιπὰ ὡς ἔφης. Ἔστι δὲ ἡ πᾶσα προφητεία λελεγμένη εἰς Ἐζεκίαν, εἰς ὃν καὶ ἀποδείκνυται ἀποβάντα κατὰ τὴν προφητείαν ταύτην.

English · Claude translation

And Trypho answered, “The Scripture does not have, ‘Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,’ but, ‘Behold, the young woman shall conceive and bear a son,’ and the rest as you said. And the whole prophecy was spoken of Hezekiah, in whom it is shown to have been fulfilled according to this prophecy.
