Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies 4.33

The spiritual disciple who truly receives the Spirit of God—who from the beginning was present to humanity in all God's arrangements, who announced things to come, revealed present realities, and explained the past—judges all people yet is judged by no one. He judges the nations, creatures who serve the creation rather than the Creator and who, with a reprobate mind, waste their entire effort in futility. He also judges the Jews, who fail to perceive the word of liberty and refuse to go free even though a liberator stands before them; they pretend to serve God outside the Law at the wrong time, as if God needed anything, and they refuse to recognize Christ's advent, accomplished for human salvation, or to understand that all the prophets announced his two comings. The first came when he was made man in affliction, knowing how to bear weakness, riding on a donkey's colt (Zechariah 9:9), rejected as a stone by the builders (Psalms 118:22), led like a sheep to slaughter (Isaiah 53:7), and overthrowing Amalek by the stretching out of his hands; yet also gathering the scattered children from the ends of the earth into the Father's fold, remembering his own dead who had fallen asleep, and descending to them so that he might rescue them.
