But the generation of him that is the life the scriptures refer to as not to be declared, who then is he of whom the divine scriptures say this, or who is so great that even the prophets predict of him such great things?
none else now is found in the scriptures but the common saviour of all the word of god our lord jesus christ for he it is that proceeded from a virgin and appeared as man on the earth and whose generation after the flesh cannot be declared
for there is none that can tell his father after the flesh his body not being of a man but of a virgin alone so that no one can declare the corporal generation of the saviour from a man as one can draw up a genealogy of david and of moses and of all the patriarchs for he it is that caused the star also to mark the birth of his body
since it was fit that the word coming down from heaven should have his constellation also from heaven and it was fitting that the king of creation when he came forth should be openly recognized by all creation why he was born in judea and men from persia came to worship him
he it is that even before his appearing in the body won the victory over his demon adversaries and a triumph over idolatry all heathen at any rate from every region abjuring their hereditary tradition and the impiety of idols are now placing their hope in christ and enrolling themselves under him the like of which you may see with your own eyes
for at no other time has the impiety of the egyptians ceased save when the lord of all riding as it were upon a cloud came down there in the body and brought to naught the delusion of idols and brought over all to himself and threw himself to the father
he it is that was crucified before the sun and all creation as witnesses and before those who put him to death and by his death has salvation come to all and all creation has been ransomed he is the life of all and he it is that as a sheep yielded his body to death as a substitute for the salvation of all even though the jews believe it not
For if they do not think these proofs sufficient, let them be persuaded at any rate by other reasons, drawn from the oracles they themselves possess.
For of whom do the prophets say, I was made manifest to them that sought me not, I was found of them that asked not for me?
I said, Behold, here I am.
To the nation that have not called upon my name, I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and gainsame people.
who then one might say to the jews is he that was made manifest for if it is the prophet let them say when he was hid afterward to appear again and what manner of prophet is this that was not only made manifest from obscurity but also stretched out his hands on the cross
none surely of the righteous save the word of god only who incorporeal by nature appeared for our sakes in the body and suffered for all or if not even this is sufficient for them let them at least be silenced by another proof seeing how clear its demonstrative force is for the scripture says be strong ye hands that hang down and feeble knees comfort ye ye of faint mind be strong fear not
behold our god recompenseth judgment he shall come and save us then shall the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf shall hear then shall the lame man leap as a hart and the tongue of the stammerers shall be plain
now what can they say to this or how can they dare to face this at all for the prophecy not only indicates that god is to sojourn here but it announces the signs and the time of his coming for they connect the blind recovering their sight and the lame walking and the deaf hearing and the tongue of the stammerers being made plain with the divine coming which is to take place
let them say then when such signs have come to pass in israel or when in jewry anything of the sort has occurred naaman a leper was cleansed but no deaf man heard nor lame walked elijah raised a dead man so did elisha but none blind from birth regained his sight for in good truth to raise a dead man is a great thing but it is not like the wonder wrought by the saviour
only if scripture has not passed over the case of the leper and of the dead son of the widow certainly had it come to pass that a lame man also had walked and a blind man recovered his sight the narrative would not have omitted to mention this also since there is nothing said in the scriptures it is evident that these things had never taken place before
when then have they taken place save when the word of god himself came in the body or when did he come if not when lame men walked and stammerers were made to speak plain and deaf men heard and blind men from birth regained their sight for this was the very thing the jews said who then witnessed it because they had not heard of these things having taken place at any other time since the world began it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind
if this man were not from god he could do nothing but perhaps being unable even they to fight continually against plain facts they will without denying what is written maintain that they are looking for these things and that the word of god is not yet come for this it is on which they are for ever hopping not blushing to brazen it out in the face of plain facts
but on this one point above all they shall be all the more refuted not at our hands but at those of the most wise daniel who marks both the actual date and the divine sojourn of the saviour saying seventy weeks are cut short upon thy people and upon the holy city for a full end to be made of sin and for sins to be sealed up and to blot out iniquities and to make atonement for iniquities and to bring everlasting righteousness and to seal vision and profit
