De qué trata
Volumen 9 de diez del Diccionario filosófico. Milagros – Prior. Contiene «Prejuicios» y la discusión sobre de dónde vienen las creencias.
Contexto e historia
El fondo es la forma: un diccionario se consulta en lugar de leerse seguido, cosa que lo hacía imposible de refutar en bloque y fácil de hacer circular a escondidas. Voltaire lo publicó anónimo en 1764 y lo quemaron en Ginebra y en París. Nota sobre la edición: el catálogo tiene DOS ediciones del Diccionario filosófico —esta en diez volúmenes y un Voltaire's Philosophical Dictionary en uno solo. No son un duplicado: son selecciones y traducciones distintas, y los artículos no se corresponden uno a uno. El original es francés.
Contexto editorial, no una fuente citable: a diferencia de los pasajes de la obra, estos datos no se pueden comprobar contra el corpus.
"He has borne our ills, he has sustained our griefs, and we have beheld him afflicted with sores, stricken by God, and afflicted." However striking this prediction may appear to us, these obstinate Jews say that it has no relationship to Jesus Christ, and that it can only regard the prophets who were persecuted for the sins of the people. "And behold my servant shall prosper, shall be honored, and raised very high." They say, further, that the foregoing passage regards not Jesus Christ but David; that this king really did prosper, but that Jesus, whom they deny, did not prosper. "Behold I will make a new pact with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah." They say that this passage signifies not, according to the letter and the sense, anything more than--I will renew my covenant with Judah and with Israel. However, this pact has not been renewed; and they cannot make a worse bargain than they have made. No matter, they are obstinate. "But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall come forth a ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting." They dare to deny that this prophecy applies to Jesus Christ. They say that it is evident that Micah speaks of some native captain of Bethlehem, who shall gain some advantage in the war against the Babylonians: for the moment after he speaks of the history of Babylon, and of the seven captains who elected Darius. And if we demonstrate that he treated of the Messiah, they still will not agree. The Jews are grossly deceived in Judah, who should be a lion, and who has only been an ass under the Persians, Alexander, the Seleucides, Ptolemys, Romans, Arabs, and Turks. They know not what is understood by the Shiloh, and by the rod, and the thigh of Judah. The rod has been in Judæa but a very short time.…
