ACTS 8:32–33
ISAIAH 53:7–8

ACTS 8

ACTS 8

32  The place of the scripture which he read was this, 
He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer , so opened he not his mouth:

33  In his humiliation his judgment was taken away :
and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.

ISAIAH 53

ISAIAH 53

7  He was oppressed , and he was afflicted , yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb , so he openeth not his mouth.

8  He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

ISAIAH 53

7  And he, because of his affliction, opens not his mouth: 
he was led as a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before the shearer is dumb, so he opens not his mouth.

8  In [his] humiliation his judgment was taken away: 
who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken away from the earth: 
because of the iniquities of my people he was led to death.

Reigned from the Wood

GENERAL AUDIENCE OF JOHN PAUL II 

Wednesday 18 September 2002

Psalm 95 [96]
The Lord reigns from the Cross

https://w2.vatican.va/content/john-paul-ii/en/audiences/2002/documents/hf_jp-ii_aud_20020918.html

It is significant that many of the ancients interpreted v. 10 of this Psalm with a thought-provoking Christological integration:  "The Lord reigned from the tree"

Thus the Letter of Barnabas taught that "the kingdom of Jesus is on the wood [of the cross]" (VIII, 5: I Padri Apostolici, Rome 1984, p. 198; The Apostolic Fathers, p. 282, Thomas Nelson, 1978) 

And the martyr St Justin, quoting almost the whole of the Psalm in his First Apology, ended by inviting all the Gentiles to rejoice because "the Lord hath reigned from the tree" of the Cross (Gli apologeti greci, Rome 1986, p. 121; The First Apology, chapter 41, p.78, Writings of St Justin Martyr, CUA Press).

From this terrain sprang the hymn Vexilla regis (The Royal Banners of the King, used in Passion week) written by the Christian poet, Venantius Fortunatus, that exalts Christ who reigns from the height of the Cross - a throne of love and not of dominion:  Regnavit a ligno Deus (God has reigned from the tree).

Epistle of Barnabas
Chapter 8

the kingdom of Jesus is on the wood



St. Justin Martyr
The First Apology 
http://www.ccel.org/ccel/richardson/fathers.x.ii.iii.html

Chapter 41

the Spirit of prophecy, through the same David, intimated that Christ, after He had been crucified, should reign, and spoke as follows: 

Sing to the Lord, all the earth, and day by day declare His salvation. For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, to be feared above all the gods. For all the gods of the nations are idols of devils; but God made the heavens. Glory and praise are before His face, strength and glorying are in the habitation of His holiness. Give Glory to the Lord, the Father everlasting. Receive grace, and enter His presence, and worship in His holy courts. Let all the earth fear before His face; let it be established, and not shaken. Let them rejoice among the nations. The Lord has reigned from the tree.



St. Justin Martyr
Dialogue with Trypho
http://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/anf01.viii.iv.lxxiii.html

Chapter 73

from the ninety-fifth (ninety-sixth) Psalm 
the words of David:
‘ Tell ye among the nations, the Lord hath reigned from the wood ’

LUKE
Chapter 4


14 Then Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and news of Him went out through all the surrounding region.

15 And He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

16 So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.

17 And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written:

18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed;

19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."

20 Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him.

21 And He began to say to them, "Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."

Out of Egypt


MATTHEW
Chapter 2

1  Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem,

2  saying, "Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him."

3  When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

4  And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.

5  So they said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the prophet:

6  'But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, Are not the least among the rulers of Judah; For out of you shall come a Ruler Who will shepherd My people Israel.' "

7  Then Herod, when he had secretly called the wise men, determined from them what time the star appeared.

8  And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go and search carefully for the young Child, and when you have found Him, bring back word to me, that I may come and worship Him also."

9  When they heard the king, they departed; and behold, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was.

10  When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.

11  And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

12  Then, being divinely warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed for their own country another way.

13  Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, "Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him."

14  When he arose, he took the young Child and His mother by night and departed for Egypt,

15  and was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, "Out of Egypt I called My Son."

Numbers 24

1  And when Balaam saw that it pleased God to bless Israel, he did not go according to his custom to meet the omens, but turned his face toward the wilderness. 

2  And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and sees Israel encamped by their tribes; and the Spirit of God came upon him. 

3  And he took up his parable and said, Balaam son of Beor says, the man who sees ruly says, 

4  he says who hears the oracle of the Mighty One, who saw a vision of God in sleep; his eyes were opened: 

5  How goodly [are] thy habitations, Jacob, and thy tents, Israel! 

6  as shady groves, and as gardens by a river, and as tents which God pitched, and as cedars by the waters. 

7  There shall come a man out of his seed, and he shall rule over many nations; and the kingdom of God shall be exalted, and his kingdom shall be increased. 

8  God led him out of Egypt; he has as it were the glory of a unicorn: he shall consume the nations of his enemies, and he shall drain their marrow, and with his darts he shall shoot through the enemy. 

9  He lay down, he rested as a lion, and as a young lion; who shall stir him up? they that bless thee are blessed, and they that curse thee are cursed.

NUMBERS

CHAPTER 24

1  And when Balaam saw that it pleased God to bless Israel, he went not according to his custom to meet the omens, but he set his face toward the wilderness. 

2  And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he seeth Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes, and the Spirit of God came upon him. 

3  And he took up his parable and said, ‘Balaam the son of Beor saith, the man that seeth truly 

4  saith; he that heareth the oracles of the Mighty One saith; who saw a vision of God in sleep, when his eyes were opened. 

5  How goodly are thine habitations, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel; 

6  as shady groves and as gardens by a river’s side and as tabernacles, which the LORD hath pitched, and as cedar trees beside the waters. 

7  There shall come a man out of his seed, and he shall rule over many nations; and his kingdom shall be exalted beyond Gog, and his kingdom shall be increased. 

8  God led him out of Egypt; he hath as it were the glory of a unicorn; he shall eat up the nations of his enemies and shall suck the marrow of their fat, and with his arrows he shall shoot through the enemy. 

9  He lay down; he rested as a lion and as a young lion; who shall stir him up? Blessed are they that bless thee, and cursed are they that curse thee.’
