Justin Martyr, on Eph 4:8
Justin Martyr · A.D. 100–165
Eph 4:8 · Douay-Rheims
“Wherefore he saith: Ascending on high, he led captivity captive; he gave gifts to men.”
On this verse:
“Trypho: We ask you first of all to tell us some of the Scriptures which you allege have been completely cancelled. Justin: I shall do as you please... And since this passage from the sayings of Jeremiah is still written in some copies [of the Scriptures] in the synagogues of the Jews (for it is only a short time since they were cut out)... And again, from the sayings of the same Jeremiah these have been cut out: 'The Lord God remembered His dead people of Israel who lay in the graves; and He descended to preach to them His own salvation.'”
