Dialogue with Trypho 54.1 · Sophia Scriptura

Greek text · Archambault 1:240

Καὶ τὸ ὑπὸ Μωσέως δὲ ἀνιστορημένον καὶ ὑπὸ τοῦ πατριάρχου Ἰακὼβ προπεφητευμένον, τὸ Πλυνεῖ ἐν οἴνῳ τὴν στολὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν αἵματι σταφυλῆς τὴν περιβολὴν αὐτοῦ, τὸ τῷ αἵματι αὐτοῦ ἀποπλύνειν μέλλειν τοὺς πιστεύοντας αὐτῷ, ἐδήλου. Στολὴν γὰρ αὐτοῦ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ἅγιον πνεῦμα τοὺς διʼ αὐτοῦ ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν λαβόντας, ἐν οἷς ἀεὶ δυνάμει μὲν πάρεστι, καὶ ἐναργῶς δὲ παρέσται ἐν τῇ δευτέρᾳ αὐτοῦ παρουσίᾳ.

English · Claude translation

“And what was recorded by Moses and prophesied by the patriarch Jacob, ‘He shall wash his robe in wine and his garment in the blood of the grape,’ signified that he would wash in his blood those who believe in him. For the Holy Spirit called his robe those who have received forgiveness of sins through him, in whom he is always present in power, and will be manifestly present at his second coming.
