Matt. xviii. 1. § xv. Luke ix. 51. § xxv. John vii. 2. § xvi. MARK ix. 35 And he-sat-down, and-called the twelve, and saith unto-them, If any-man desire to-be first, the same shall-be last of-all, and servant of-all. LUKE ix. 36 And he-took a-child, and-set him took a-child, and-set him by him, For there-is no-man which shalldo a-miracle in (ET) my name, that can lightly speak-evil-of me. (ταχυ κακολογησαι.) For he-that is not against us is on our-part. (ύπερ ἡμων) 41 For whosoever shall-give you a-cup of-water-to-drink in my name, because ye-belong-to Christ, verily I-say unto 42 -you, he-shall-not lose his reward. And whosoever shalloffend one of-these-little-ones that-believe in me, it-is better for-him that a-milstone were-hanged about his neck, 43 and he-were-cast into the sea. And if thy hand offend thee, cut it-off: it-is better for-thee to-enter into life maimed, than having two hands to-go into hell, into the 44 fire that never-shall-be-quenched: Where their worm 45 dieth not, and the fire is-not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it-off: it-is better for-thee to-enter halt into life, than having two feet to-be-cast into hell, into 46 the fire that never-shall-be-quenched: Where their worm 50 Mark. x. 1. § XLVI. Luke ix. 51. § xxv. John vii. 2. § xvI. MARK ix. 47 dieth not, and the fire is-not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it-out: it-is better for-thee to-enter into the kingdom of-God with-one-eye, than having two eyes 48 to-be-cast into hell fire (TMŋv yɛɛvvaν тov πνроc): Where 49 their worm dieth not, and the fire is-not quenched. For every-one shall-be-salted with-fire, and every sacrifice 50 shall-be-salted with-salt. Salt is good: but if the salt have lost-his-saltness, wherewith will-ye-season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have-peace one-with another. (ch. x. 1. § XLVI.) LUKE ix. SECTION XV. THE DISCIPLES AGREE TO REFER THeir dispute TO JESUS; HE DISCOURSES TO THEM UPON THAT SUBJECT AS BEFORE, BUT AT GREATER LENGTH; AND TAKES OCCASION TO DELIVER THE FIRST OF HIS MORAL PARABLES, WHICH REPRESENTS A KING, HOLDING ACCOUNT WITH HIS DEBTORS. (ch. xvii. 27. § XIII.) 1 AT the same time (Ev EKEIVη Tn wpq) came the disciples unto-Jesus, saying, Who is the-greatest 2 in the kingdom of-heaven? AndJesus called a-little-child-unto him, and-set him in the-midst of 3 -them, and said, Verily I-say unto-you,Except ye-be-converted, and become as little-children, yeshall-not enter into the kingdom 4 of-heaven. Whosoever therefore shall-humble himself as this little -child, the-same is greatest in the 5 kingdom of-heaven. And whoso shall-receive one such little-child in (7) my name receiveth me. 6 But whoso shall-offend one of these little-ones which believe in me, it-were-better for-him that a milstone were-hanged about his neck, and that he-were-drowned in the depth of-the sea. Woe unto-the world because- 7 of offences! for it-must-needs be (avaуkn eσriv) that-offences come; but woe to-that man by whom the offence cometh! Wherefore if 8 thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them-off, and cast them from thee: it-is better for-thee to-enter into life halt or maimed, ratherthan having two hands or two feet to-be-cast into everlasting fire. (To Up To awviov.) And if thine 9 eye offend thee, pluck it-out, and cast it from thee: it-is better forthee to-enter into life with-oneeye, rather-than having two eyes to-be-cast into hell fire. 10 Mark x. 1, § XLVI. Luke ix. 51, xxv. MATT. xviii. Take-heed that ye-despise (xaTappovηonte) not one of-these little -ones; for I-say unto-you, That in heaven their angels do-always (dia Tavros) behold the face of-my 11 Father which is in heaven. For the Son of-man is-come to-save 12 that which-was-lost. How think ye? if a man have an-hundred sheep, and one of them be-goneastray, doth-he-not leave the ninety-and-nine, and-goeth into the mountains,and-seeketh thatwhich 13 -is-gone-astray? And if so-be that-he-find it, verily I-say untoyou, he-rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety-and-nine 14 which went not-astray. Even-so it-is not the-will of (0ɛλnua εuTроσ0εv) your Father which is in heaven, that one of-these littleones should-perish. 15 Moreover if thy brother shall -trespass against thee, (apaprnon Ego) go and tell him-his-fault, (EAEYEO) between thee and him alone: if he-shall-hear thee, thou -hast-gained (Exεponσaç) thy bro16 ther. But if he-will-not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the-mouth of-two or three witnesses every word may17 be-established. (oraon.) And if he-shall-neglect-to-hear (Tapaкovon) them, tell it unto-the church: but if he-neglect-to-hear the church, let-him-be unto-thee as an heathen man and a publican. 18 Verily I-say unto-you, Whatsoever ye-shall-bind on earth shall-be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye-shall-loose on earth shall-be 19 loosed in heaven. Again I-say unto-you, That if two of-you shall -agree (ovμpwvnowow) on earth as-touching any thing(περι παντος John vii. 2, § XVI. payμaroc) that they-shall-ask, it -shall-be-done for-them of (apa) my Father which is in heaven. For 20 where two or three are gatheredtogether in my name, there am-I in the-midst of-them. Then came Peter to-him, and- 21 said, Lord, how-oft shall-my brother sin against me, and I-forgive him? till seven-times ?(2) Jesus 22 saith unto-him, I-say not untothee, Until seven-times: but, Until seventy-times seven. Therefore is-the kingdom of- 23 heaven likened unto-a-certain king, which would take account of his servants. And when-he had 24 -begun to-reckon,one was-brought unto-him, which-owed (opeλerns) him ten-thousand talents. But 25 forasmuch-as-he had not to-pay, his lord commanded him to-besold, and his wife, and children, and all that he-had, and payment -to-be-made. The servant there- 26 fore fell-down, and-worshipped him, saying, Lord, have-patience with me, (uaкpolvμnoov et' εμoi) and I-will-pay thee all. Then 27 the lord of-that servant wasmoved-with-compassion, andloosed him, and forgave him the debt. But the same servant went- 28 out, and-found one of-his fellowservants, which owed him anhundred pence: and he-laid-hands -on him, and-took-him-by-the throat, (Eπviye) saying, Pay me that thou-owest. And his fellow- 29 servant fell-down at his feet, andbesought him, saying, Have-patience with me, and I-will-pay thee all. And he would not: but 30 went and-cast him into prison, till he-should-pay the debt. So when 31 -his fellow-servants saw what was (2) Alluded to in Luke xvii. 4. Sec. 44, p. 4. Six months after Diss. i. p. 20, Vol. I. Mark x. 1. § XLVI. Luke ix. 51. § xxv. John vii. 2. § xvi. MATT. xviii. done, they-were very-sorry, and came and-told (duoapnoav) unto32 their lord all that was-done. Then his lord, after-that-he-had-called him,said unto-him,O-thou-wicked servant, I-forgave thee all that debt, because thou-desiredst me: 33 shouldest not thou also have-hadcompassion-on(eλenoa) thy fellowservant,even as I had-pity-on thee? And his lord was- wroth, (opy- 34 ag) and-delivered him to-the tormentors, till he-should-pay all that was-due unto-him. So-likewise shall-my heavenly 35 Father do also unto-you, if ye-from your hearts forgive not every-one his brother their trespasses. (ch. xix. 1. § XLVI.) See Diss. viii. p. 342-5, on the completion of two years and a half of the ministry. SECTION XVI. UPON THE APPROACH OF THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES, THE BRETHREN of JESUS ADVISE HIM TO SHEW HIMSELF IN JERUSALEM.(1) 2 No. 139, Capernaum. JOHN vii. 2-9. (ch. vii. 1. § XII.) Now the Jews' feast of-tabernacles (ǹ okηvoηyta) was at-hand. 3 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judea, that thy disciples also may -see (9εwonowo) the works that 4 thou-doest. For there is no-man that doeth any-thing in secret, and he-himself seeketh to-be known openly. If thou-do these-things, 5 shew thyself to-the world. For neither did-his brethren believe in him. Then Jesus said unto- 6 them, My time is-not-yet come : but your time is alway ready. The world cannot hate you; but 7 me it-hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil. Go ye-up unto this feast: I go 8 not-up-yet unto this feast; for my time is not-yet full-come. When 9 -he-had-said these words untothem, he-abode still in Galilee. (1) Diss. xv. 428.

Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and 12 said, Where is he?(1) And therewas much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some (1) Diss. viii. 234.

No. 141. Jerusalem. JOHN vii. 14-30. 14 Now about-the-midst of-the feast Jesus went-up into the temple, 15 and taught. (1) And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this-man letters, having-never 16 learned? Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not 17 mine, but his that-sent me. If any-man will do his will, he-shallknow of the doctrine, whether itbe of God, or whether I-speak of 18 myself. He that-speaketh of himself, seeketh his-own glory: but he that-seeketh his glory that-sent him, the-same is true, and no unrighteousness (adıkıa) is in him. Did-not Moses give you the 19 law, and yet none of you keepeth (To) the law? Why go-yeabout to-kill me? The people 20 answered and said, Thou-hast adevil: who goeth-about to - kill thee? Jesus answered and said 21 unto-them, I-have-done one work, and ye-all marvel.(2) Moses there- 22 fore gave unto-you circumcision; (not because it-is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the-sabbath-day circumcise a-man. a-man on the-sabbath-day receive circumcision, that the law of-Moses should-not be-broken; are-ye (1) Diss. xv. 430, Vol. II. and 242 ibid.
