Which Prophet said this?

[Lulav]

"Nail my flesh, for the synagogues of the wicked have risen against me."

 

[visionary]

Barnabas

 

[Lulav]

no,

13 And he was willing to suffer thus, for it was necessary that he should suffer on a tree, for the Prophet says of him, "Spare my soul from the sword" and, "Nail my flesh, for the synagogues of the wicked have risen against me."

 

[visionary]

Epistle of Barnbas 5:13

no,

13 And he was willing to suffer thus, for it was necessary that he should suffer on a tree, for the Prophet says of him, "Spare my soul from the sword" and, "Nail my flesh, for the synagogues of the wicked have risen against me."

 

[Danoh]

Sounds like King David, as the Psalms are replete with that kind of sentiment, as to back when King Saul was hunting him down that he might not fufill his destiny.

 

[visionary]

So far no leads.

 

[Lulav]

Yes, it is from the Epistle of Barnabas but he didn't say it, he says that the prophets said this, I am trying to find which one.

 

[Lulav]

Sounds like King David, as the Psalms are replete with that kind of sentiment, as to back when King Saul was hunting him down that he might not fufill his destiny.

Yes it does but I don't recall anyone saying this explicitly.

 

[David Ben Yosef]

Yes it does but I don't recall anyone saying this explicitly.

That's because it is a paraphrase of a combination of Psalm 22:20 for the first portion, the Septuagint's version of Psalm 119:120 for the second, and Psalm 22:17 for the last.

Barnabas 5:13
He himself willed thus to suffer, for it was necessary that He should suffer on the tree. For says he who prophesies regarding Him, "Spare my soul from the sword, fasten my flesh with nails; for the assemblies of the wicked have risen up against me."

Psalm 22:20
Deliver my soul from the sword...

Psalm 119:120
Nail my flesh with your fear; for I am afraid of your judgments [Septuagint reading-Psalm 118:120]

Psalm 22:17
...a company of evildoers encircle me...

 

[Lulav]

Thank you David A conglomeration, and a big one at that.

 

[David Ben Yosef]

Thank you David

Your welcome.

A conglomeration, and a big one at that.

Yep, and it's impossible that Barnabus wrote the epistle that bears his name. I hate to use the term "Septuagint" since that document doesn't actually exist [by it's common definition] but I use it sometimes to avoid confusion. Since the discovery that the "Letter of Aristaeus" is a 2nd CE fraud, much document dating that is on the internet and elsewhere needs to be revised. It's impossible that anyone before the late 1st century, early 2nd century could be quoting the document we today call the "Septuagint" since it didn't exist. Barnabus, of course, was long dead by then making it impossible for him to quote it.

 

[this is not my name]

where does it say it is quoting the septuagint again?

Most books of the Septuagint were completely translated until 100 BC. The first parts being translated 250 BC. The last parts of the Septuagint were finished 100 AD. Barnabas is said to have died around 61 AD. We can expect that the parts he quoted actually did exist long before his time already.
