Matthew 23:39
What was said has an intelligible sight through faith. For when “the fullness of the nations enters” and they believe in Christ, then the Jews who believe after that see the beauty of Christ’s divinity, beholding the Father to be in the Son, and saying that he is the redeemer proclaimed through the prophets, of whom the prophet foretold as coming in the Lord’s name. For the other prophets did not come in the Lord’s name; they were saying, “Thus says the Lord,” and “I am a slave of the Lord, and I worship the God of heaven.”

∆ιὰ τὸ ἀφιλόθεον τῶν Ἰουδαίων ὑπαναχωρεῖ.
