[131:2] "Aber nirgends auf die Evangelien." Wann wurden u.s.w., p. 20 f.

[132:1] We use this word not as the best equivalent of apoluete, but merely to indicate to readers unacquainted with Greek the use of a different word from the aphête of the first Gospel, and from the aphiete of the Epistle; and this system we shall adopt as much as possible throughout.

[132:2] Cf. Mark 4:24. Cf. Hom. Clem. 18:16.

[135:2] Cod. Sin. and D. read lithos mulikos instead of mulos.

[135:3] The Vatican (B.) and Sinaitic, as well as most of the other Codices, put hena at the end of the phrase,

[135:4] Cf. Matt. 18:1-8; Mark 9:33-43; Luke 9:46-48, 49-50, 17:1-3.

[138:1] De Pudic., § 20; Hieron.,De vir. ill. 5. Many modern writers have supported the tradition. Cf. Credner, Gesch. N. T. Kanon, p. 175 ff.; Thiersch, Die Kirche im ap. Zeit., p. 199 ff.; Ullmann, Theol. Stud. u. Krit., 1828, p. 377 ff.; Wieseler, Unters. üb. d. Hebräerbrief, 1861, i., p. 32 ff.

[138:2] Decretum de libris recipiendis et non recipiendis, in Credner, Zur Gesch. des Kanons, 1847, p. 215. Cf. Fabricius, Cod. Apocr. N. T., i., p. 341; Grabe, Spicil. Patr., i., p. 303.

[139:2] Tischendorf, Wann wurden, u.s.w., p. 92 ff.

[139:3] Enoch 89:61 f., 90:17. This book is again quoted in ch. 16.

[139:4] Cf. 4 Ezra 4:33, 5:5.

[141:1] Origen, Tract., 35; § 17 Matt.; Hieron. ad Isaiae, 44, Epist. 101; cf. Fabricius, Cod. Apocr., N.T., i., p. 342.

[141:2] In the Cod. Sinaiticus a later hand has here inserted "Isaiah."

[141:3] Selecta Patr., p. 5.

[141:4] Cf. Volkmar, H buch Einl. Apocr. ii., p. 105.

[141:5] We might also point to the verse 10:97, "For thou art blessed above many, and art called near to the Most High, and so are but few." "Tu enim beatus es prae multis, et vocatus es apud Altissimum, sicut et pauci."

[142:1] Matt. 20:1-16.

[142:2] This is not the place to criticise the expectation of finding a wedding garment on a guest hurried in from highways and byways, or the punishment inflicted for such an offence, as questions affecting the character of the parable.

[143:1] An illustration of such proverbial sayings is found in the Phaedo of Plato: eisi gar dê, phasin oi peri tas teletas, narthêkophoroi men polloi, bakchoi de te pauroi; ed Steph., i., p. 69, "For many, as they say in the Mysteries, are the thyrsus-bearers, but few are the mystics." Cf. Jowett, Plato, i., p. 441, p. 381.

[143:2] Zur Kr. des Barnabasbr., p. 34 f. [In the fourth edition of his work on the Canon, Dr. Westcott very fairly states in a note: "On the other hand, it is just to add that the proverbial form of the saying ('Many are called, but few chosen') is such as to admit of the supposition that it may have been derived by Barnabas from some older book than St. Matthew,"p. 51, note 2.]

[143:3] Die drei ersten Evv., 1850.

[143:4] Jahrb. bibl. Wiss., ii., 1849, p. 191 ff.

[143:5] Professor A. D. Loman, who impartially and ably discusses this quotation, is unable to admit that the passage is taken from our first Synoptic; and he conjectures that the common source from which both the Synoptist and the author of the Epistle may have derived the saying may be a work which he supposes to be referred to in Luke 11:49, Theol. Tijdschrift, 1872, p. 196 f.; cf. 1867, p. 553, p. 559.

[143:6] Palin soi epideizo, tôs pros hêmas legei kurios, deuteran plasin er' eschatôn epoiêsen. Legei kurios Idou, poiô ta eschata hôs ta prota. C. 6.

[144:1] Dr. Westcott does not make any reference to it either. {In the 4th ed. of his work on the Canon (p. 62) he expresses an opinion that it is a reference "to some passage of the O.T.," and suggests Ezek. 36:11.}

[144:2] Ch. 19.

[145:1] The phrase, "Give to everyone that asketh of thee," occurs also in the "Teaching of the Twelve Apostles," i., §5, with which little treatise, published since the Complete Edition of this work was issued, several other passages in the Epistle agree -- cf. p. 149 ff.

[145:2] Hote de tous idious apostolous tous mellontas kêrussein to euangelion autou ezelezato, ontas huper pasan amartian anomôterous, hina deizê, hoti ouk êlthen kalesai dikaious, alla amartôlous, tote ephanerôsen eauton einai uion Theou. C. 5.

[148:3] Irenaeus, Adv. Haer., 4:20, § 2; Clemens Al., Strom., 1:29, § 181; 2:1, § 3; 6:15, 131; Tertullian, De Orat., 12. He rejected it later. De Pudic., 10; Origen, Comm.in Rom., lib. 10:31, Hom. 8 in Num., Hom. 1 in Psalm 37, De Princip., 2:1, § 3; 3:2, § 4; cf. Eusebius, H. E. 3:3, 5:8, 3:25; Cotelier, Patr.Ap., 1:68 f.

[149:2] Vis. 2:3; cf. Numbers 11:26 f., Sept. Vers.

[149:3] The Complete Edition of this work had been published some years earlier, so that we now deal with the Didache for the first time.

[151:1] Dr. Taylor gives interesting illustrations of this by comparison with the Talmud and Talmudic writings (The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles, 1886). Mr. Rendel Harris even says: "The teaching is Hebraistic from cover to cover" (The Teaching of the Apostles, 1887, p. 78).

[151:2] Apost.p. 215. The idea of the "Two Ways" is found in classical works as early as Hesiod (Op. et Dies, 285). It is used in "The Choice of Hercules," which is usually ascribed to Prodicus the Sophist (Zenophont., Mem., 2:1-21).

Cardinal Pitra found the same tract in a MS. in the Ottobonian library bearing the title Epitomê horôn tôn agiôn apostolôn katholikês paradoseos. It is also given by Hilgenfeld in his N. T. extra Can. Recept., 1884, Fasc. iv. Codices in Syriac, Coptic, and Ethiopic have since been discovered.

[152:2] Lactantius, Epit. div. Instil., c. 59, for instance, and in writings of pseudo-Athanasius, but still more markedly in the Epistle of Barnabas, the writer of which could have no reason for omitting them if they had stood in the original treatise of which he made use.
