Jacob of Serugh:
| ܗܽܘ ܡܡܰܠܶܠ ܗ̱ܘܳܐ ܒܦܽܘܡܶܗ ܕܡܽܘܫܶܐ ܡܳܐ ܕܰܡܡܰܠܶܠ ܕܗܽܘܝܽܘ ܡܶܠܬܳܐ ܕܝܰܗ̱ܒ ܟܽܠ ܡܶܠܺܝ̈ܢ ܠܰܢܒܺܝܽܘܬܳܐ ܒܶܠܥܳܕܰܘܗܝ ܓܶܝܪ ܐܳܦܠܳܐ ܡܶܠܬܳܐ ܘܠܳܐ ܓܶܠܝܳܢܳܐ ܐܺܝܬ ܒܰܢܒܺܝ̈ܶܐ ܕܗܽܘܝܽܘ ܓܰܙܳܗ̇ ܕܰܢܒܺܝܽܘܬܳܐ | “[The divine Son] is the one who spoke through Moses’s mouth whatever [Moses] spoke, For he is the Word that gave all the words to prophecy. Apart from him not even a word and no revelation Is in the prophets, for he is the treasure of prophecy.” |
Scott Swain:
| “Here we must emphasize that the principle of scriptural unity is not simply a literary hypothesis that the commentator, as rational subject, brings to the text, which is the object. The Word made flesh is the lively subject of scriptural revelation who communicates himself in and through the words of his Spirit-inspired ambassadors, thus enabling us to appreciate their fundamental unity and coherence in him (Luke 24:44–47; 1 Pet 1:11; Rom 10:17). Reading is therefore a living conversation between an eloquent Lord and his attentive servants, a conversation in which the reader is summoned to hear what the Spirit of Christ says to the churches (Rev 2:7).” |
