The First Apology

And it was predicted that our Christ would heal all diseases and raise the dead, hear what was said. There are these words: “At His coming the lame will leap like a deer, and the tongue of the stammerer will speak clearly: the blind will see, and the lepers will be cleansed; and the dead will rise, and walk around.” And that He did those things, you can learn from the Acts of Pontius Pilate. And how it was predicted by the Spirit of prophecy that He and those who hoped in Him would be slain, hear what was said by Isaiah. These are the words: “Behold now the righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; and just men are taken away, and no one considers. From the presence of wickedness, the righteous man is taken, and his burial will be in peace: he is taken from our midst.”
