De civitate Dei (413 - 427) Augustine of Hippo |
| Quotation |
iudaei autem, qui eum occiderunt et in eum credere noluerunt, quia oportebat eum mori et resurgere,
uastati infelicius a romanis funditusque a suo regno, ubi iam eis alienigenae dominabantur, eradicati
dispersique per terras (quando quidem ubique non desunt) per scripturas suas testimonio nobis sunt
prophetias nos non finxisse de christo. |
| Translation |
But the Jews who slew Him and would not believe in Him, who would not believe that it behoved Him to die and rise again, suffered a more unhappy destruction at the hands of the Romans and were utterly rooted out from their kingdom, where they had already been under the dominion of foreigners. They were scattered throughout the whole world (for there is certainly nowhere in the world where they are not present); and so, by their own Scriptures, they bear witness for us that we have not invented the prophecies concerning Christ. (Trans. Dyson) |
