The Epistle Of Ignatius To The Antiochians by Ignatius
Chapter III.--The same continued.
The prophets also, when they speak as in the person of God, [saying,] |I am God, the first [of beings], and I am also the last, and besides Me there is no God,| concerning the Father of the universe, do also speak of our Lord Jesus Christ. |A Son,| they say, has been given to us, on whose shoulder the government is from above; and His name is called the Angel of great counsel, Wonderful, Counsellor, the strong and mighty God.| And concerning His incarnation, |Behold, a virgin shall be with Child, and shall bring forth a Son; and they shall call his name Immanuel.| And concerning the passion, |He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and as a lamb before her shearers is dumb, I also was an innocent lamb led to be sacrificed.|
