The First Apology Of Justin by Justin Martyr

Chapter XXXVIII.--Utterances of the Son.

And when the Spirit of prophecy speaks from the person of Christ, the utterances are of this sort: |I have spread out My hands to a disobedient and gainsaying people, to those who walk in a way that is not good.| And again: |I gave My back to the scourges, and My cheeks to the buffetings; I turned not away My face from the shame of spittings; and the Lord was My helper: therefore was I not confounded: but I set My face as a firm rock; and I knew that I should not be ashamed, for He is near that justifieth Me.| And again, when He says, |They cast lots upon My vesture, and pierced My hands and My feet. And I lay down and slept, and rose again, because the Lord sustained Me.| And again, when He says, |They spake with their lips, they wagged the head, saying, Let Him deliver Himself.| And that all these things happened to Christ at the hands of the Jews, you can ascertain. For when He was crucified, they did shoot out the lip, and wagged their heads, saying, |Let Him who raised the dead save Himself.|
