Michaelis thinks that all the transactions included from No. 25 to No. 30. happened on one day. And Professor Marsh states the argument thus: No. 27. is the sermon on the Mount, related by Matthew, chap. v. vi. and vii. No. 28, 29, and 30. The cure of the leper-of the Centurion's servant-of Peter's mother-in-law-and other such persons at Capernaum, are all related by St. Matthew, chap. viii. 1-17. as events which took place on the same day, on which the Sermon on the Mount was delivered. No. 25. not inentioned by Matthew, took place according to Mark, i. 29, 30. Luke iv. 38. on the same day as the cure of St. Peter's mother-in-law, No. 30. No. 26. Christ's choice of the twelve apostles (not mentioned by St. Matthew) immediately preceded the Sermon on the Mount, according to Luke, vi. 12-49. consequently all the events in Nos. 25-30. happened on the same day. Dr. Mar-h allows the probability of Nos. 27-30 happening on the same day, but thinks Nos. 25, and 26. should not be referred to the same time. " On these two articles," says he, "Matthew is totally silent, and therefore we have the authority only of St. Mark and St. Luke. But thongh St. Mark and St. Luke refer No. 25. to the same day as they refer No. 30. yet they both agree in referring No. 26 to a later day. We have no authority whatsoever, therefore, to refer No. 26. to that day assigned by our author: and even if we refer No. 25. to that day, it ought not to occupy the place which he has allotted to it, but should immediately precede No. 30. for the reason already assigned. On the other hand, if we refer No. 26. to that day, we must necessarily refer No. 25. to an earlier day; for on these two articles, St. Mark and St. Luke are our only guides, and they both agree in making a very distinct and circumstantial separation of them."

The Evangelists themselves have often adopted a similar plan." : MATTHEW. HARMONIZED TABLE OF CONTENTS MARK. LUKE. JOHN. vi. 1-6. vi. 14-29. vii. 18-35. § 48. Is anointed by a woman, §49.
