1. Roman 11: “If the part of the dough offered as first fruits is holy”
● Written by paul
● “Wild olive shoot” means gentiles, Paul talks about how Gentiles are allowed into the
promise of Abraham and can be assimilated to Christian community
C
2. Isaiah 53: - suffering servant, scapegoat
● The idea of vicarious atonement
● For christians, the suffering servant is symbolic of jesus christ
3. Gen 2: “Then the heaven and earth were finished, and all their array”
● About the Sabbath – why its on the 7th day (because god rested)
● Christians say Sabbath is on 8th because Jesus resurrected then
4. Gen 1: “And God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness”
● God is more than more person - for jews, complimentary intermediaries “angels
● Christians use this as an argument for Christ
5. Melito: “It was necessary for him to suffer, yes, but not by you.”
● Blaming the Jews for deicide and killing Jesus
6. John 19: “Now it was the day of Preparation”
● Significant because this date of the Jesus’ trial differs from the synoptic gospels
7. John 1: “In the beginning was the Word”
● Logos = Word = Jesus
8. Trypho: “The quotation is not, “Behold a Virgin””
● Referring to Isaiah 7 about Jesus’ virgin birth – Trypho argues that the passage says
‘young woman,’ not ‘virgin,’ and thus Jesus is not the messiah
● Undermining the connection between the old testament prophesizing the Virgin Birth of
Jesus
● There is no virgin Mary, Jesus is a human
9. Melito: So whenever the thing arises for which the model was made”
● Refers to the Christian replacement of the jews as the chosen people of God (Melito is
usually about this)
10. Justin: “For, tell me, did God wish the priests”
- Talking about how Sabbath is a marker to distinguish the Jews, also perhaps links into
perpetual Sabbath – shouldn’t be just one day, but a sort of perpetual worship
11. Exodus 12 “You shall keep watch over it until the fourteenth day of this month”
● Original instructions for first passover for the Israelites when they were enslaved by the
egyptians
● Establishes passover start as 14th of nisan
○*MELITO SAYS JESUS IS THE PASCHAL LAMB*
12. Exodus 40 “Then the cloud covered the Tent of the Meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled
the Tabernacle. Moses could not enter the Tent of the Meeting because the cloud had settled
on it, and the glory of the LORD filled the Tabernacle”
● Something to with Glory of God - hypostatization
● Presence of God but god was not actually present
● Establishes tabernacle as the holy place where God’s prominence presides in – thus a
place of worship
