Ephesians 4:8 Douay-Rheims

Wherefore he saith: Ascending on high, he led captivity captive; he gave gifts to men.

Justin Martyr

A.D. 100–165 Patristic

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.'
