He had already called all to the light
After this Celsus’s Jew sets out as a consequence what does not follow. For from “He wished, by the punishments he suffered, to teach us to despise even death,” it does not follow that “after rising from the dead he should openly call all to the light and teach why he had come down.” For he had called all to the light earlier, saying, “Come, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).
And why he had come down is recorded in the discourses he delivered at length: in the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:3–12) and in what is proclaimed after them, in parables, and in his conversations with the scribes and Pharisees. And in the Gospel according to John are set out the things he taught, which show the grandeur of Jesus’ speech, a grandeur not of phrasing but of substance. And it is clear from the Gospels that “his word was with authority” (Luke 4:32; compare Matthew 7:28–29), at which they marveled.

Ἐκτίθεται δὲ μετὰ ταῦτα ὁ Κέλσου Ἰουδαῖος ὡς ἀκόλουθον τὸ μὴ ἀκόλουθον. οὐ γὰρ ἀκολουθεῖ τῷ ἠθέλησεν ἡμᾶς δι᾿ ὧν πέπονθε κολάσεων διδάξαι καὶ θανάτου καταφρονεῖν τὸ ἀναστάντα αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν φανερῶς εἰς φῶς καλέσαι πάντας καὶ διδάξαι, οὗ χάριν κατεληλύθει. εἰς φῶς γὰρ πρότερον ἐκάλεσε πάντας εἰπών· „δεῦτε πάντες οἱ κοπιῶντες καὶ πεφορτισμένοι, κἀγὼ ἀναπαύσω ὑμᾶς.“ καὶ οὗ χάριν κατελήλυθεν, ἀναγέγραπται ἐν οἷς ἀποτάδην κεκίνηκε λόγοις ἐν μακαρισμοῖς καὶ τοῖς ἑξῆς αὐτοῖς ἀπαγγελλομένοις καὶ ἐν παραβολαῖς καὶ ἐν ταῖς πρὸς τοὺς γραμματεῖς καὶ Φαρισαίους ὁμιλίαις. τὸ δὲ κατὰ Ἰωάννην εὐαγγέλιον ὅσα ἐδίδαξεν ἔκκειται, παριστάντα τὴν Ἰησοῦ οὐκ ἐν λέξεσιν ἀλλ᾿ ἐν πράγμασι μεγαλοφωνίαν· καὶ δῆλός ἐστιν ἐκ τῶν εὐαγγελίων ὅτι „ἐν ἐξουσίᾳ ἦν ὁ λόγος αὐτοῦ,“ ἐφ᾿ ᾧ καὶ ἐθαύμαζον.
