the Holy Ghost lighted on him like a dove, and at the same instant a voice came from the heavens:  “Thou art my son; this day have I begotten thee.”  He was tempted by Satan, and of like passions with men; he was spotless and sinless, and the blameless and righteous man; he made whole the lame, the paralytic, and those born blind, and he raised the dead; he was called, because of his mighty works, a magician, and a deceiver of the people.  He stood in the midst of his brethren the Apostles, and when living with them sang praises unto God.  He changed the names of the sons of Zebedee to Boanerges, and of another of the Apostles to Peter.  He ordered his acquaintance to bring him an ass, and the foal of an ass which stood bound to a vine, and he mounted and rode into Jerusalem.  He overthrew the tables of the money-changers in the temple.  He gave us bread and wine in remembrance of his taking our flesh and of shedding his blood.  He took upon him the curses of all, and by his stripes the human race is healed.  On the day in which he was to be crucified (elsewhere called the night before) he took three disciples to the hill called Olivet, and prayed; his sweat fell to the ground like drops, his heart and also his bones trembling; men went to the Mount of Olives to seize him; he was seized on the day of the Passover, and crucified during the Passover; Pilate sent Jesus bound to Herod; before Pilate he kept silence; they set Christ on the judgment seat, and said:  “Judge us;” he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; his hands and feet were pierced; they cast lots for his vesture, and divided it; they that saw him crucified, shook their heads and mocked him, saying:  “Let him who raised the dead save himself.”  “He said he was the Son of God; let him come down; let God save him.”  He gave up his spirit to the Father, and after he was crucified all his acquaintance forsook him, having denied him.  He rose on the third day; he was crucified on Friday, and rose on “the day of the Sun,” and appeared to the Apostles and taught them to read the prophecies, and they repented of their flight, after they were persuaded by himself that he had beforehand warned them of his sufferings, and that these sufferings were prophesied of.  They saw him ascend.  The rulers in heaven were commanded to admit the King of Glory, but seeing him uncomely and dishonoured they asked, “Who is this King of Glory?” God will keep Christ in heaven until he has subdued his enemies the devils.  He will return in glory, raise the bodies of the dead, clothe the good with immortality, and send the bad, endued with eternal sensibility into everlasting fire.  He has the everlasting kingdom.

These references to Jesus are scattered up and down through Justin’s writings, without any chronological order, a phrase here, a phrase there; only in one or two instances are two or three things related even in the same chapter.  They are arranged here connectedly, as nearly as possible in the usually accepted order,
