Part 2, Chapter 3 (Concl'd) (pp. 236-267)

[236:3] Dr. Westcott considers that "the coincidence between Justin and the Clementine Gospel illustrates still more clearly the existence of a traditional as well as of an evangelical form of Christ's words" (On the Canon, p. 132). But why merely a "traditional," if by that he means oral tradition? Luke 1:1 shows how many written versions there may have been; cf. Tischendorf, Wann wurden u.s.w., p. 28 f., and anm. 1, p. 29.

[237:2] Compare the quotation, Clem. 11 ad Corinth., 2:9, with the quotations from the Gospel according to the Hebrews in Epiphanius, Haer., 30:14.

[237:3] Delitzsch admits the very striking character of this repetition. Unters. Entst. Matth. Ev., p. 34, see back, p. 373, note 2.

[242:4] P.208 f.

[242:5] We may point out, however, that he says: "Andere wörtliche Uebereinstimmungen kommen mitten unter Abweichungen vor, wie Apol., ii., p. 75, vgl. Matt. 1:21, wo Luc. 1:35, damit combinirt ist." Einl., N. T. p. 105; but a single phrase combined with a passage very like one in a different Gospel is a very poor argument.

[252:3] Dr. Westcott merely alludes to this in the briefest way in a note (On the Canon, p. 115, note 2).

[253:1] In the few readings given in this table, Dr. Westcott does not distinguish the writers at all. Cf. On the Canon, p. 116, note 3.

[253:2] On the Canon, p. 116.

[253:3] Adv. Haer., 4:6, § 1.

[253:4] Sic et Mathaeus posuit, et Lucas similiter, et Marcus idem ipsum. We need not point out that this is a misstatement, for our Mark has not got the passage at all.

[253:5] "Et interpretantur, quasi a nullo cognitus sit verus Deus ante Domini nostri adventum: et eum Deum, qui a prophetis sit annuntiatus, dicunt non esse Patrem Christi.'' Adv. Haer., 4:6, §1.

[253:6] Docens semetipsum et Patrem, sicut est, ut alterum non recipiamus Patrem, nisi eum qui a -Filio revelatur. Ib., 4:6, § 3.

[253:7] Adv. Haer., 4:6, § 7.

[254:1] Revelaverit enim, non solum in futurum dictum est, etc.; Ib., 4:6, § 7.

[254:2] Non ergo alius erat qui cognoscebatur, et alius qui dicebat: "Nemo cognoscit Patrem:" sed unus et idem, etc.; Ib., 4:6, § 7. In another place Irenaeus again quotes the passage in the same order, with the same careful adherence to the present tense. Adv. Haer., 2:6, § 1.

[254:3] Adv. Haer., 1:19, § 1.

[254:4] Pros toutois amurthêton pl&thos apokryphôn kai nothôn graphpôn, ha autoi eplasan, pareispherousin eis kapalêxin tôn anoêtôn kai ta tês alêtheias mê epistamenôn grammata.  Adv. Haer. 1:20, § 1.

[254:5] Adv. Haer., 1: 20, § 3. And again, referring to Valentinus and his followers, and endeavouring to show the inconsistency of their views, he says: "Salvator ergo, secundum eos, erit mentitus, dicens: 'Nemo cognovit Patrem nisi Filius.' Si enim cognitus est vel a matre, vel a semine ejus; solutum est illud, quod, 'nemo cognovit Patrem nisi Filius.'" Adv. Haer., 2:14, § 7. Irenaeus then endeavours out of their own form of the text to confute their doctrines.

[261:2] In the course of explorations in Egypt in 1886-87 the fragment of a Gospel was discovered at Akhmîm, the peculiarities of which leave little doubt that it is part of a "Gospel according to Peter," and bears singular analogies to Justin's Memoirs, for it is written in the first person: "I, Simon Peter," etc. The fragment is too short to permit any considerable comparison with Justin's quotations, but some remarkable coincidences exist, and many critics, amongst whom may be mentioned Harnack, Hilgenfeld, J. Rendel Harris, Lods, and Van Manen, consider that this Gospel was used by Justin. For full particulars see The Gospel According to Peter, which we separately published 1894 (Longmans, Green, & Co.).

[266:2] Schwegler rightly remarks that if it can be shown that Justin even once made use of the Gospel according to the Hebrews, or any other uncanonical source, there is no ground for asserting that he may not always have done so.
