Chapter
LVII.—Samaritan Refuted.
“But a certain Samaritan, speaking against
the people and against God, and asserting that neither are the dead to
rise, nor is that worship of God to be maintained which is in
Jerusalem, but that Mount Gerizim is to be reverenced, added also this
in opposition to us, that our Jesus was not He whom Moses foretold as a
Prophet to come into the world. Against him, and another who
supported him in what he said, James and John, the sons of Zebedee,
strove vigorously; and although they had a command not to enter into
their cities,588
nor to bring
the word of preaching to them, yet, lest their discourse, unless it
were confined, should hurt the faith of others, they replied so
prudently and so powerfully, that they put them to perpetual
silence. For James made an oration concerning the resurrection of
the dead, with the approbation of all the people; while John showed
that if they would abandon the error of Mount Gerizim, they should
consequently acknowledge that Jesus was indeed He who, according to the
prophecy of Moses, was expected to come; since, indeed, as Moses
wrought signs and miracles, so also did Jesus. And there is no
doubt but that the likeness of the signs proves Him to be that prophet
of whom he said that He should come, ‘like himself.’
Having declared these things, and more to the same effect, they
ceased.”
