Dialogue with Trypho 56.22 · Sophia Scriptura

Greek text · Archambault 1:262

Καὶ πάλιν παυσάμενος ἐπέφερον· Καὶ νῦν οὐ νενοήκατε, φίλοι, ὅτι ὁ εἷς τῶν τριῶν, ὁ καὶ θεὸς καὶ κύριος τῷ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς ὑπηρετῶν, κύριος τῶν δύο ἀγγέλων; Προσελθόντων γὰρ αὐτῶν εἰς Σόδομα, αὐτὸς ὑπολειφθεὶς προσωμίλει τῷ Ἀβραὰμ τὰ ἀναγεγραμμένα ὑπὸ Μωσέως· οὗ καὶ αὐτοῦ ἀπελθόντος μετὰ τὰς ὁμιλίας, ὁ Ἀβραὰμ ὑπέστρεψεν εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ.

English · Claude translation

And stopping again, I added: “And do you not understand now, friends, that the one of the three who is both God and Lord, serving the one in the heavens, is Lord of the two angels? For when they went on to Sodom, he remained behind and conversed with Abraham in the words recorded by Moses; and when he too went away after the conversation, Abraham returned to his place.
