1 “The rest of the Psalm shows that He knew His Father would grant Him everything He asked and would raise Him from the dead; that He urged all who fear God to praise God because, through the mystery of the One who was crucified, He had mercy on every race of believing people; and that He stood in the midst of His brothers the apostles, who repented of having deserted Him when He was crucified, after He rose from the dead and convinced them that even before His suffering He had told them He must suffer these things, and that these things had been proclaimed beforehand by the prophets; and that while He was with them He sang praises to God, as the memoirs of the apostles also show happened. 2 The words are these: ‘I will declare Your name to my brothers; in the midst of the Church I will praise You. You who fear the Lord, praise Him; all you seed of Jacob, glorify Him. Let all the seed of Israel fear Him.’ 3 And the statement that He renamed one of the apostles Peter, which is also written in His memoirs as having happened, along with His giving two other brothers, the sons of Zebedee, the name Boanerges, which means sons of thunder, was a sign that He was the One through whom Jacob was given the name Israel and Oshea was named Jesus (Joshua), the name under which the people who survived of those who came out of Egypt were brought into the land promised to the patriarchs.⁠a 4 And Moses showed beforehand that He would rise like a star from the race of Abraham when he said, ‘A star shall rise from Jacob, and a leader from Israel’; and another Scripture says, ‘Look, a man; the East is His name.’ So when a star rose in the sky at the time of His birth, as is recorded in the memoirs of His apostles, the Magi from Arabia recognized Him by it, and came and worshiped Him.
