Κἀγὼ πάλιν ἀναλαβὼν τὸν λόγον , ὁπόθεν τὴν ἀρχὴν ἐπεπαύμην ἀποδεικνύων ὅτι ἐκ παρθένου γεννητος καὶ διὰ παρθένου γεννηθῆναι αὐτὸν διὰ Ἡσαίου ἐπεπροφήτευτο , καὶ αὐτὴν προφητείαν πάλιν ἔλεγον . Ἔστι δὲ αὕτη · Καὶ προσέθετο κύριος λαλῆσαι τῷ Ἄχαζ , λέγων · Αἴτησαι σεαυτῷ σημεῖον παρὰ κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου εἰς βάθος ἢ εἰς ὕψος . Καὶ εἶπεν Ἄχαζ · Οὐ μὴ αἰτήσω οὐδὲ μὴ πειράσω κύριον . Καὶ εἶπεν Ἡσαίας · Ἀκούσατε δή , οἶκος Δαυΐδ . Μὴ μικρὸν ὑμῖν ἀγῶνα παρέχειν ἀνθρώποις ; Καὶ πῶς κυρίῳ παρέχετε ἀγῶνα ; Διὰ τοῦτο δώσει κύριος αὐτὸς ὑμῖν σημεῖον · ἰδοὺ ἡ παρθένος ἐν γαστρὶ λήψεται καὶ τέξεται υἱόν , καὶ καλέσουσι τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἐμμανουήλ . Βούτυρον καὶ μέλι φάγεται . Πρὶν ἢ γνῶναι αὐτὸν ἢ προελέσθαι πονηρὰ ἐκλέξεται τὸ ἀγαθόν · διότι , πρὶν ἢ γνῶναι τὸ παιδίον κακὸν ἢ ἀγαθόν , ἀπειθεῖ πονηρὰ τοῦ ἐκλέξασθαι τὸ ἀγαθόν . Διότι , πρὶν ἢ γνῶναι τὸ παιδίον καλεῖν πατέρα ἢ μητέρα , λήψεται δύναμιν Δαμασκοῦ καὶ τὰ σκύλα Σαμαρείας ἔναντι βασιλέως Ἀσσυρίων . Καὶ καταληφθήσεται ἡ γῆ , ἥν σὺ σκληρῶς οἴσεις ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν δύο βασιλέων . Ἀλλ᾿ ἐπάξει ὁ θεὸς ἐπὶ σὲ καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν σου καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός σου ἡμέρας , αἳ οὐδέπω ἥκασιν , ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ἧς ἀφεῖλεν Ἐφραῒμ ἀπὸ Ἰούδα τὸν βασιλέα Ἀσσυρίων . Καὶ ἐπέφερον · Ὅτι μὲν οὖν ἐν τῷ γένει τῷ κατὰ σάρκα Ἀβραὰμ οὐδεὶς οὐδέποτε ἀπὸ παρθένου γεγέννηται οὐδὲ λέλεκται γεγεννημένος ἀλλ᾿ ἢ οὗτος ὁ ἡμέτερος Χριστός , πᾶσι φανερόν ἐστι .
And
I
,
resuming
the
discourse
where
I
had
left
off
at
a
previous
stage
,
when
proving
that
He
was
born
of
a
virgin
,
and
that
His
birth
of
a
virgin
had
been
predicted
by
Isaiah
,
quoted
again
the
same
prophecy
.
It
is
as
follows
‘And
the
Lord
spoke
again
to
Ahaz
,
saying
,
Ask
for
thyself
a
sign
from
the
Lord
thy
God
,
in
the
depth
or
in
the
height
.
And
Ahaz
said
I
will
not
ask
,
neither
will
I
tempt
the
Lord
.
And
Isaiah
said
,
Hear
then
,
O
house
of
David
;
Is
it
no
small
thing
for
you
to
contend
with
men
?
And
how
do
you
contend
with
the
Lord
?
Therefore
the
Lord
Himself
will
give
you
a
sign
;
Behold
,
the
virgin
shall
conceive
,
and
shall
bear
a
son
,
and
they
shall
call
his
name
Immanuel
.
Butter
and
honey
shall
he
eat
;
before
he
knows
or
prefers
the
evil
he
will
choose
out
the
good
.
For
before
the
child
knows
ill
or
good
,
he
rejects
evil
by
choosing
out
the
good
.
For
before
the
child
knows
how
to
call
father
or
mother
,
he
shall
receive
the
power
of
Damascus
,
and
the
spoil
of
Samaria
,
in
presence
of
the
king
of
Assyria
.
And
the
land
shall
be
forsaken
,
which
thou
shalt
with
difficulty
endure
in
consequence
of
the
presence
of
its
two
kings
.
But
God
shall
bring
on
thee
,
and
on
thy
people
,
and
on
the
house
of
thy
father
,
days
which
have
not
yet
come
upon
thee
since
the
day
in
which
Ephraim
took
away
from
Judah
the
king
of
Assyria
.
’
"
And
I
continued
:
"
Now
it
is
evident
to
all
,
that
in
the
race
of
Abraham
according
to
the
flesh
no
one
has
been
born
of
a
virgin
,
or
is
said
to
have
been
born
[
of
a
virgin
]
,
save
this
our
Christ
.
