I appeared to those who did not seek me
And the Word himself, in Isaiah, declares that he has made himself visible among us, and that the Son of God, become son of man, is found in the midst of us who formerly were in ignorance: ‘I appeared to those who did not seek me; I was found by those who did not ask for me. I said: Here I am! to a nation that did not call on my name.’ (Isa 65:1; Rom 10:20)

About this text
Irenaeus’s short handbook of the apostolic preaching (Epideixis), preserved in Armenian. English here is a densified reading translation for study. Prior English exists (Robinson / Wilson) — this is not an Original English Translation.
English follows the Armenian of Patrologia Orientalis XII.5. Barthoulot’s French was used as a sense-check only. Robinson (1920) and Wilson’s prior English exist and were checked for independence — this page is densified English, not Original English Translation / no-previous-English.
