to dumbfound
odbierać mowę, zdumiewać
On June 15, 1414, Geronimo de Sancte Fide read some Talmudic passages which should have been censored, and asked the Jews if they were ready to defend them. The Jews, who probably decided to maintain silence beforehand, gave no reply. Geronimo took the Jews’ silence as proof they were dumbfounded and bewildered.’’
inadvertently
niechcący
Brumlik inadvertently makes the same point as St. John. To hold onto their identity, the Jews had to reject Christ. The Jews (as opposed to the entire ethnic group, some of which accepted Christ as the Messiah) created a new identity for themselves, one that is essentially negative.
to hold fast to something

The Gospel of St. John, according to Brumlik, portrays Jews, in fact all Jews, insofar as they are Jews-which is to say, insofar as they hold fast to their position as children of Abraham-as essentially damned enemies of Jesus.’

covenant
The issue was the Talmud, which had become the heart of the Jewish religion, distorting the Torah and shielding it from its true and infallibly protected interpretation by the Church in the light of the New Covenant upon which She is founded (the failing of the Jews regarding the Torah is also a failing of Messianic Christian heretics who in many ways imitate the Jews in belief and practice).

Wealthy benefactors created the Chapel in the 1390s to promote preaching in the Czech language.

to stand for
They are, in fact, the opposite: in rejecting Christ they reject Moses and everything Moses stood for.
to expound
objaśniać
By now it should be apparent that self-interest is an inadequate form of economic control. It is not a source of control at all; it is rather the source of the problem. That so many people should have so much difficulty recognizing the problem is in large measure due to Libertarian economic theory, which was based on Adam Smith’s appropriation of the ultimate self-regulating mechanism, the solar system as expounded by Newtonian physics.
