And the woman a was made whole from that hour. 23 And when Jesus came into the rul jer's house, and saw the flute-players, and the crowd making a tumult, k 24 he said, Give place: * for the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. And 1 they laughed him to scorn. 25 But when the crowd was put forth, he m entered in, and took her by the hand; and the O damsel arose. 26 And the fame hereof * * 27 And as Jesus passed by from thence, two blind men followed him, crying out, and saying, Have mercy on us, thou son of * David. 28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto * them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. 29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it done unto you. 30 And their * eyes were opened. And Jesus strictly q charged them, saying, See that no man know it. a and immediately the issue a of her blood stanched. с 29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that 45 And Jesus said, Who is she was healed of her plague. it that touched me?

And when even was come, (Mk.) And at even, when the sun did set, (Lk.) And when the sun was setting, is quite obvious. Turning to Mark 4:35 on page vII, we find a similarly worded phrase; and its relation to the others is shown by the following comparison with Matthew. These passages continue on quite parallel to each other for some distance, as may be seen on page vп; and we thus have as duplicate expressions in the book of Mark the following. MATT. 8:16. And when even was come. MARK 1:32. And at even, when the MARK 4:35. And on that day, when even was come. LUKE 4: 40. And when the sun was setting. LUKE 8: 22. It does not seem possible that this result could have been attained in any other way than by the transferring of accounts from one position to another, the beginnings and the ends becoming mixed up together. The passage q on page Ix is somewhat similar to these, it having been pushed down, as it were, by the insertion of the story of the blind men, of which it became a part. Like the other phrases above mentioned, it is at the end of that portion of the 9th chapter of Matthew paralleling the 5th of Mark and the 8th of Luke. This phrase is one that was given on pages 8 and 9, and there marked with the capital letter F. There are two phrases in Mark on page vш that are worthy of mention. Verse 18 reads, And as he was entering into the boat, etc. Verse 21 reads, And when Jesus had crossed over again in the boat, etc. Either of these may be considered as parallel to Matthew 9:1: and if the passages are a repetition of one original, they may be accounted for by supposing i-j to be foreign to the balance of the accounts, and that during several copyings the phrase somehow got in at both the beginning and the end of whatever was inserted. This too comes just at the end of the account in Matthew where that which follows is given on another page. Luke, in no small degree, corrobcrates the above inferences in regard to these peculiar sentences by omitting many of them, thus showing that the duplicating process went further in Mark than in Luke, or that Luke passed through more careful or more competent hands than Mark, the errors of former copyists being eliminated. iv 4 23 And Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness among the people. 24 And the report of him went forth into all Syria: and they brought unto him all that were sick, holden with b* divers diseases and torments, possessed with devils, and epileptic, and palsied; and he healed them. 25 And there followed him a great multitudes from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judæa and from beyond Jordan. 5 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain: and when he had sat d down, his disciples came unto him: 2 and he opened his mouth and taught them, saying, e g f 3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called sons of God. 10 Blessed are they that have been persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye when men shall reproach h you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great i is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. 13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost its savour, wherewith shall j* it be salted? it is thenceforth good for noth ing, but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men. 14 Ye are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a lamp, and put it k under the bushel, but on the stand; and it shineth unto all that are in the house. 16 Even so let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. 19 17 Think not that I came to destroy 1 the law or the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot m or one tittle shall in no wise pass away from the law, till all things be accomplished. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. 21 Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgement: 22 but I say unto you, that every one who is angry with his brother shall be in danger of the judgement; and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council; Fol. 20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed are yet e poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. 21 Blessed are ye that hunger now for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall glaugh. 22 Blessed are ye, when men f shall hate you, and when they shall h seperate you from their company, and reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. 23 Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy: for behold, your reward iis great in heaven: for in the same manner did their fathers unto the prophets. 24 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation. 25 Woe unto you, ye that are full now! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you, ye that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep. 26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for in the same manner did their fathers to the false prophets. Fol. *a-c, Mark 3:7-11, Pg. xviii - Xix. See also B page 9. *j, Mark 9: 50, Pg. xxxv. Pages x to xvII are designated as section F. It hardly requires to be pointed out that it differs from G, H or I in one conspicuous respect. No portion of it is to be found in the book of Mark, with the exception of a few scattering verses, and with the exception of a-c on page X, which may not have been a part of the original F. The book of Matthew from chapter 4 verse 23-or, which is more probable, from about chapter 5 verse 2-seems to be made up from a copy of some manuscript which did not find its way into the book of Mark, and to which large additions were made from some other source. Wherever there is a passage among these additions that is in Luke, it is in that portion of the book lying between chapter 9 verse 51 and chapter 18 verse 14. In this section they all happen to come between the 11th and the 16th chapters inclusive. The position of these extra passages in Luke is of no small moment in showing the composite character of this section of the book of Matthew. Pre. 5 and whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of the hell of fire. 23 If therefore thou art offering thy gift at the alter, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee, 24 leave there thy gift before the alter, and go thy way, first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. 25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art with him in the way; d lest haply the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. 26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the last farthing. 27 Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adultery: 28 but I say unto you, that every one that looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. 29 And if thy right eye causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should per ish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell. 30 And if thy right hand causeth thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not thy whole body go into hell. 31 It was said also, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 32 but I say unto you, that every one that putteth away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, f* maketh her an adulteress: and whosoever shall mary her when she is put away committeth adultery. 33 Again, ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not for swear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: 34 but I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by the heaven, for it is the throne of God; 35 nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, for thou canst not make one hair white or black. 37 But let your speech be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: and whatsoever is more than these is of the evil one. 38 Ye have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 39 but I say unto you, Resist not him that is evil: but whosoever smiteth thee on thy right b cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if any man would go to law with thee, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. 41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go one mile, go with him twain. 42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from C him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. Pre. 6 27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them a that hate you, 28 bless them that curse you, pray for them that despitefully use you. 29 To him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also b the other; and from him that taketh away thy cloke withhold not thy coat also. 30 Give to every one that askCeth thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
