Dialogue with Trypho 94.4 · Sophia Scriptura

Greek text · Archambault 2:100–102

Καὶ ὁ ἕτερος τῶν τῇ δευτέρᾳ ἀφιγμένων εἶπεν· Ἀληθῶς εἶπας· οὐκ ἔχομεν λόγον διδόναι· καὶ γὰρ ἐγὼ περὶ τούτου πολλάκις τοὺς διδασκάλους ἠρώτησα, καὶ οὐδείς μοι λόγον ἀπέδωκεν. Ὥστε λέγε σὺ ἃ λέγεις· προσέχομεν γάρ σοι μυστήριον ἀποκαλύπτοντι, διʼ ὧν καὶ τὰ τῶν προφητῶν διδάγματα συκοφαντητά ἐστι.

English · Claude translation

And the other of those who had come on the second day said, “You have spoken truly; we have no reason to give. For I too have often asked our teachers about this, and no one gave me a reason. So say what you have to say; for we are attending to you as you reveal a mystery, through which even the teachings of the prophets are open to slander.”
