It is written in the first book of the law, towards the end: \u2018A ruler shall not fail from Judah, nor a leader from his thighs, until He come whose it is; and He is the expectation of the nations.\u2019 991 If, therefore, any one can apprehend Him who came after the failure of ruler and leader from Judah, and who was to be expected by the nations, he will be able by this verse to recognise Him as truly having come; 992 and believing His teaching, he will know what of the Scriptures are true and what are false.\u201d Then said Simon: \u201cI understand that you speak of your Jesus as Him who was prophesied of by the scripture. Therefore let it be granted that it is so. Tell us, then, how he taught you to discriminate the Scriptures.\u201d\nFrom the amended reading of Davis.","title":"Ante-Nicene Fathers, Vol VIII: Pseudo-Clementine Literature.: Chapter XLIX","type":"page"}
