TESTIMONIES AGAINST THE JEWS. 105
Psalm : " Be still,and know that I am God. I will be
exaltedamong thenations,and I willbe exaltedin the earth."1
Also in the eighty-firstPsalm : " They have not known,
neitherhave they understood: they willwalk on in dark
ness."1 Also in the sixty-seventhPsalm : " Sing unto God,
singpraisesunto His name : make a way forHim who goeth
up intothe west: God isHis name." 8 Also in the Gospel
accordingto John : " In the beginning was the Word, and
the Word was with God, and God was the Word." * Also
in the same : " The Lord saidto Thomas, Reach hitherthy
finger,and behold my hands : and be not faithless,but be
lieving. Thomas answered and said unto Him, My Lord
and my God. Jesus saithunto him, Because thou hastseen
me, thou hastbelieved: blessedare they who have not seen,
and yet have believed."5 Also Paul to the Romans: "I
could wish thatI myself were accursed from Christfor my
brethren and my kindred accordingto the flesh: who are
Israelites;whose are the adoption,and the glory,and the
covenant,and the appointment of the law,and the service
[ofGod], and the promises; whose are thefathers,of whom,
according to the flesh,Christ came, who is God over all,
blessedfor evermore."6 Also in the Apocalypse : " I am
Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end : I willgive
to him that isathirst,of the fountainof livingwater freely.
He thatovercometh shallpossessthesethings,and theirin
heritance; and I willbe hisGod, and he shallbe my son."1
Also in the eighty-firstPsalm : " God stoodin the congrega
tionof gods,and judging gods in the midst."8 And again
in the same place: " I have said,Ye are gods ; and ye are
allthe childrenof the Highest : but ye shalldie likemen." 0
But if they who have been righteous,and have obeyed the
divineprecepts,may be calledgods,how much more isChrist,
the Son of God, God ! Thus He Himself saysin theGospel
accordingto John : " Is itnot writtenin the law,thatI said,
Ye are gods ? If He calledthem gods to whom the word
