Isaiah 11:1
Douay-Rheims
And there shall come forth a rod out of the root of Jesse, and a flower shall rise up out of his root.
Eusebius of Caesarea
This shows in an obvious way that the birth of Christ would be from the root of Jesse, who was the father of David. This points toward the birth which the Gentiles would follow, having been prophetically announced by way of signs.
