Dialogue with Trypho 71.3 · Sophia Scriptura

Greek text · Archambault 1:346

Καὶ γὰρ ὅσας ὑμῖν ἀνήνεγκα ταύτας γνωρίζετε, πλὴν ὅτι περὶ τῆς λέξεως, τῆς Ἰδοὺ ἡ παρθένος ἐν γαστρὶ λήψεται, ἀντείπατε, λέγοντες εἰρῆσθαι· Ἰδοὺ ἡ νεᾶνις ἐν γαστρὶ λήψεται. Καὶ ὑπεσχόμην ἀπόδειξιν ποιήσασθαι οὐκ εἰς Ἐζεκίαν, ὡς ἐδιδάχθητε, τὴν προφητείαν εἰρῆσθαι ἀλλʼ εἰς τοῦτον τὸν ἐμὸν Χριστόν· καὶ δὴ τὴν ἀπόδειξιν ποιήσομαι.

English · Claude translation

“For you acknowledge all those I have brought before you, except that about the passage, ‘Behold, the virgin shall conceive,’ you objected, saying it reads, ‘Behold, the young woman shall conceive.’ And I promised to prove that the prophecy was spoken not of Hezekiah, as you were taught, but of this my Christ; and now I will make the proof.”
