(See the import of kaεng fully considered in Diss. II. Sect. vi.) Wakefield connects Kadens with what precedes, and renders the clause, "it seemeth good to me also, who have gained exact information of every thing in order from the first." In Bowyer's Crit. Conj., it is proposed "as the Louvain MS. reads " to put a comma after aσty, and to render it, "to write exactly in detail to you." Most editors and translators, I think correctly, connect Kaɛng alone with ypata. Wynne renders this clause, "to write to thee an orderly account:" Campbel!, "to write a particular account": Doddridge, "to write an orderly account". Grotius thinks that Luke has attended more to the order of subject than to that of occurrence. Kuinoel maintains the same, and says that Luke here professes his purpose to record, in detail, the whole life of Jesus, arranged in certain distinct portions-singulatim, in certas quasdam classes divisam describere velle. A SECT. II. Announcement to Zachariah of the approaching Birth of John. MATT. MARK LUKE I. 5 THERE was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest, by name Zachariah, of the course of Abijah: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. Now they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and both were far advanced in their days. 9 Now it came to pass, that while he was executing saw him, and fear fell upon him. 13 But the angel • The same an Jehohanan, 1 Chron. xxvi. 2, denoting Acceptable to Jehovah.
