Dialogue with Trypho 32.3 · Sophia Scriptura

Greek text · Archambault 1:140–142

Ἵνα οὖν καὶ σαφέστερον ὑμῖν τὸ ζητούμενον νῦν γένηται, ἐρῶ ὑμῖν καὶ ἄλλους λόγους τοὺς εἰρημένους διὰ Δαυῒδ τοῦ μακαρίου, ἐξ ὧν καὶ κύριον τὸν Χριστὸν ὑπὸ τοῦ ἁγίου προφητικοῦ πνεύματος λεγόμενον νοήσετε, καὶ τὸν κύριον πάντων πατέρα ἀνάγοντα αὐτὸν ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς καὶ καθίζοντα αὐτὸν ἐν δεξιᾷ αὐτοῦ, ἕως ἂν θῇ τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ· ὅπερ γίνεται ἐξ ὅτου εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν ἀνελήφθη μετὰ τὸ ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναστῆναι ὁ ἡμέτερος κύριος Ἰησοῦς Χριστός, τῶν χρόνων συμπληρουμένων καὶ τοῦ βλάσφημα καὶ τολμηρὰ εἰς τὸν ὕψιστον μέλλοντος λαλεῖν ἤδη ἐπὶ θύραις ὄντος, ὃν καιρὸν καὶ καιροὺς καὶ ἥμισυ καιροῦ διακαθέξειν Δανιὴλ μηνύει.

English · Claude translation

“So that what is now being inquired into may become clearer to you, I will tell you other words spoken through the blessed David, from which you will understand that Christ is called Lord by the holy prophetic Spirit, and that the Lord, the Father of all, brought him up from the earth and set him at his right hand, until he makes his enemies the footstool of his feet; which has been happening since our Lord Jesus Christ was taken up into heaven after rising from the dead, as the times are being fulfilled, and he who is to speak blasphemous and daring things against the Most High is already at the doors, whom Daniel indicates will hold sway for a time and times and half a time.
