evidence that John did not receive new light in vision at Patmos, bidding him call the first day of the week the Lord’s Day, and when taken with all the instances preceding, they constitute a complete demonstration that the first day was not familiarly known as the Lord’s Day in John's time, nor indeed known at all by that name then. Let us now see whether Lord’s Day as a title for the first day can be traced back to John by means of the writings of the fathers. The following is a concise statement of the testimony by which the fathers are made to prove that John used the term Lord’s Day as a name for the first day of the week. A chain of seven successive witnesses, commencing with one who was the disciple of John, and extending forward through several generations, is made to connect and identify the Lord’s Day of John with the Sunday-Lord’s Day of a later age. Thus, Ignatius, the disciple of John, is made to speak familiarly of the first day as the Lord’s Day. This is directly connecting the fathers and the apostles. Then the 350
epistle of Pliny, A.D. 104, in connection with the Acts of the Martyrs, is adduced to prove that the martyrs in his time and forward were tested as to their observance of Sunday, the question being, "Have you kept the Lord’s Day?" Next, Justin Martyr, A.D. 140, is made to speak of Sunday as the Lord’s Day. After this, Theophilus of Antioch, A.D. 168, is brought forward to bear a powerful testimony to the Sunday-Lord’s Day. Then Dionysius of Corinth, A.D. 170, is made to speak to the same effect. Next Melito of Sardis, A.D. 177, is produced to confirm what the others have said. And finally, Irenaeus, A.D. 178, who had been the disciple of Polycarp, who had been the disciple of John the apostle, is brought forward to bear a decisive testimony in behalf of Sunday as the Lord’s Day and the Christian Sabbath. These are the first seven witnesses who are cited to prove Sunday the Lord’s Day. They bring us nearly to the close of the second century. They constitute the chain of testimony by which the Lord’s Day of the apostle John is identified with the Sunday-Lord’s Day of later times. 351
