,,broadus ,,eldest ,,daughter ,,of ,,john ,a4 ,,broadus ,,an ,,elect ,,lady ,,beloved ,,in ,,many ,,lands ,,preface ,it is now just thirty years since one day his young assistant suggested to ,dr4 ,john ,a4 ,broadus that he prepare a harmony of the ,gospels that should depart from the old plan of following the feasts as the turning points in the life of ,jesus4 ,he acted on the hint and led the way that all modern harmonies have followed4 ,the book has gone through a dozen large editions and has become the standard harmony for many thousands of students all over the world4 ,broadus was concerned to bring out the inner movements of the history1 towards that long-delayed1 but foreseen and inevitable collision1 in which1 beyond all other instances1 the wrath of man was made to praise ,god4 ,this he succeeded in doing with marvelous power4 ,a generation has passed by and it is meet that the work of ,broadus should be reviewed in the light of modern synoptic criticism and research into every phase of the life of ,christ4 ,so ,i have made a new analysis that preserves ,broadus's real purpose1 but with new sections and new notes4 ,the notes at the end of the old volume1 written by me for the first edition1 have been thoroughly revised and brought up to date4 ,the ,old ,testament passages referred to in the ,gospels are given in the text4 ,the ,gospel of ,mark appears in the first column1 then ,matthew1 ,luke1 and ,john4 ,it is now known that ,matthew and ,luke made use of ,mark for the framework of their ,gospels4 ,this change simplifies amazingly the unfolding of the narrative4 ,there is still dispute concerning the historical worth of the ,gospel of ,john1 but the ,johannine authorship is not disproved4 ,it still holds the field in my opinion4 ,dr4 ,c4 ,f4 ,burney's theory of an ,aramaic original is already giving a new turn to ,johannine criticism4 ,a harmony of the ,gospels cannot meet every phase of modern criticism4 ,the data are given1 as free from bias as circumstances allow1 so that all students can use the book and interpret the facts according to their various theories4 ,numerous historical items call for notes of various kinds that throw light on the passage in question4 ,no effort is made to reconcile all the divergent statements of various details in the different ,gospels4 ,the differences challenge the student's interest as much as the correspondences and are natural marks of individual work4 ,the notes and appendices at the end of the volume are meant for students who wish help for historical study of the life of ,christ4 ,a harmony cannot give all the aid that one needs1 but it is the one essential book for the serious study of the life of ,jesus4 ,students in colleges1 theological seminaries1 ,young ,men's ,christian ,association and ,young ,women's ,christian ,association classes1 ,sunday ,school teachers and pupils1 preachers1 all who read the ,gospels intelligently must have a modern harmony of the ,gospels4 ,one who has never read a harmony will be amazed at the flood of light that flashes from the parallel and progressive records of the life of ,jesus ,christ4 ,broadus began teaching the life of ,jesus in #ahei and kept it up till his death in #ahie4 ,i began like work in #ahhh and have kept on without a break till now4 ,i count it one of the crowning mercies of my life that ,i have led so many successive classes of young ministers and young women 7some five thousand in all7 through the study of ,christ's life4 ,if only one can pass on to others in all their freshness and power the teachings of ,jesus1 he cannot fail4 ,there was a time when men hung in wonder upon the words of ,jesus1 listening with awe and rapture as he spoke4 ,the ,figure of ,christ fills the world today as never before4 ,back to ,christ the world has come1 the ,christ of ,faith and of ,experience1 the ,jesus of ,history1 the ,man of ,galilee1 the ,hope of ,today1 the ,jesus ,christ of the ,four ,gospels1 in

,,his ,,method ,,of ,,researcha ,luke #a3a-d #a ,forasmuch as many have taken in hand to draw up a narrative concerning those matters which have been #a;fulfilled among us1 #b even as they delivered them unto us1 which from the beginning were #c eyewitnesses and ministers of the word1 it seemed good to me also1 having traced the course of all things accurately from the first1 #d to write unto

,footnote #c3 ,or1 which thou wast taught by word of mouth4 ,footnote a3 ,luke is the first critic of the life of ,christ whose criticism has been preserved to us4 ,others had drawn up narratives of certain portions of ,christ's work4 ,others still had been eyewitnesses of the ministry of ,jesus and gave ,luke their oral testimony4 ,luke sifted it all with care and produced an orderly and reasonably full narrative of the earthly ministry of ,jesus4 ,we cannot reproduce all the sources that ,luke had at his command1 but it is clear that he followed in the main our ,gospel of ,mark1 as any one can see for himself by comparing the two ,gospels in this ,harmony4 ,both ,matthew and ,luke made use of ,mark4 ,but they had other sources also4 ,see note #b on ,synoptic ,criticism at the

dedicating his ,gospel1 as also the ,acts 7#a3a71 to a patron who probably met the expense of publication4 ,so ,luke as a ,gentile ,christian writes an historical introduction in literary 7,koine7 ,greek after the fashion of ,thucydides and ,plutarch4 ,mark had no formal introduction4 ,matthew's introduction is genealogical because he is writing for ,jewish readers to prove that ,jesus is the ,messiah of ,jewish hope4 ,john1 writing last of all1 has a theological introduction to meet the ,gnostic and philosophical misconceptions concerning the ,person of ,christ4 ,thus he pictures ,christ

,john #a3a we find the ,word of life in this sense and in ,rev4 #ai3ad we have3 and his name is called the ,word of ,god4 ,the ,greek word has a double sense 7reason and speech7 and ,john seems to

in one book the several portrayals of the life of ,jesus4 ,luke in his ,gospel 7#a3a-d7 makes a selection of the material and incorporates data from different sources1 but with the stamp of his own arrangement and style4 ,he followed1 in the main1 the order of ,mark's ,gospel1 as is easily seen4 ,but this method is not what is meant by a harmony of the ,gospels1 for the result is a selection from all sorts of material 7oral and written71 monographs and longer treatises4 ,the first known harmony is ,tatian's ,diatessaron 7dia tessaron1 by four7 in the second century 7about #afj ,a4,d47 in the ,syriac tongue4 ,it was long lost1 but an ,arabic translation has been found and an ,english rendering appeared in #ahid by ,j4 ,hamlyn ,hill4 ,it is plain that ,tatian has blended into one narrative our ,four ,gospels with a certain amount of freedom as is shown by ,hobson's ,the ,diatessaron of ,tatian and the ,synoptic ,problem 7#aijd74 ,there have been modern attempts also to combine into one story the records of the ,four ,gospels4 ,there is a superficial advantage in such an effort in the freedom from variations in the accounts1 but the loss is too great for such an arbitrary gain4 ,the word harmony calls for such an arrangement1 but it is not the method of the best modern harmonies which preserve the differences in material and style just as they are in the ,four ,gospels4 ,in the third century ,ammonius arranged the ,gospels in four parallel columns 7the ,sections of ,ammonius74 ,this was an attempt to give a conspectus of the material in the ,gospels side by side4 ,in the fourth century ,eusebius with his ,canons and ,sections enabled the reader to see at a glance the parallel passages in the ,gospels4 ,the ancients took a keen interest in this form of study of the ,gospels1 as ,augustine shows4 ,of modern harmonies that by ,edward ,robinson has had the most influence4 ,the edition in ,english appeared in #ahde1 that in ,greek in #ahdf4 ,riddle revised ,robinson's ,harmony in #ahhi4 ,there were many others that employed the ,authorized ,version1 like ,clark's1 and that divided the life of ,christ according to the feasts4 ,broadus 7,june1 #ahic7 followed ,waddy 7#ahhg7 in the use of the ,canterbury ,revision1 but was the first to break away from the division by feasts and to show the historical development in the life of ,jesus4 ,stevens and ,burton followed 7,december1 #ahic7 ,broadus within six months and1 like him1 used the ,canterbury ,revision and had an independent division of the life of ,christ to show the historical unfolding of the events4 ,these two harmonies have held the field for nearly thirty years for students of the ,english ,gospels4 ,in #aijc ,kerr issued one in the ,american ,standard ,version and ,james one in the ,canterbury ,revision 7#aija74 ,harmonies of the ,gospels in the ,greek continued to appear1 like ,tischendorf's 7#ahea1 new edition #ahia71 ,wright's ,a ,synopsis of the ,gospels in

,greek by ,burton and ,goodspeed 7#aibj74 ,the progress in synoptic criticism emphasized the difference in subject matter and style between the ,synoptic ,gospels and the ,fourth ,gospel as appears in the works of ,huck1 ,campbell1 and ,burton and ,goodspeed that give only the ,synoptic ,gospels4 ,burton and ,goodspeed have also an ,english work1 ,a ,harmony of the ,synoptic ,gospels for ,historical and ,critical ,study 7#aiag74 ,in #aiag ,sharman 7,records of the ,life of ,jesus7 gives first a harmony of the ,synoptic ,gospels with references to the ,fourth ,gospel and then an outline of the ,fourth ,gospel with references to the ,synoptic ,gospels4 ,once more in #aiai ,van ,kirk produced ,the ,source ,book of the ,life of ,christ which is only a partial harmony1 for the parables and speeches of ,jesus are only referred to1 not quoted4 ,but he endeavored to show the results of ,gospel criticism in the text of the book4 ,there is much useful material here for a harmony1 but it is not a real harmony that can be used for the full story of the life of ,jesus4 ,van ,kirk1 however1 is the first writer to place ,mark in the first column instead of ,matthew4 ,i had already done it in my outline before ,i saw ,van ,kirk's book1 but his was published first4 ,it is an immense improvement to put ,mark first4 ,the student thus sees that the arrangement of the material is not arbitrary and whimsical1 but orderly and natural4 ,both ,matthew and ,luke follow ,mark's order except in the first part of ,matthew where he is topical in the main4 ,john supplements the ,synoptic ,gospels1 particularly in the ,judean 7,jerusalem7 ,ministry4 ,slowly1 therefore1 progress has been made in the harmonies of the ,gospels4 ,but the modern student is able to reproduce the life and words of ,jesus as has not been possible since the first century4 ,it is a fourfold portrait of ,christ that we get1 but the whole is infinitely richer than the picture given by any one of the ,four ,gospels4 ,the present ,harmony aims to put the student in touch with the results of modern scholarly research and to focus attention on the actual story in the ,gospels themselves4 ,one may have his own opinion of the ,fourth ,gospel1 but it is needed in a harmony for completeness4 #b4 ,synoptic ,criticism ,the criticism of the synoptic gospels has been able to reach a broad general conclusion that is likely to stand the test of time4 ,the reason for this happy solution lies in the fact that the processes and results can be tested4 ,it is not mere subjective speculation4 ,any one who knows how to weigh evidence can compare ,mark1 ,matthew1 and ,luke in the ,english1 and still better in the ,greek4 ,the pages of the present harmony offer proof enough4 ,it is plain as a pikestaff that both our ,matthew and ,luke used practically all of ,mark and followed his general order of events4 ,for this reason ,mark has been placed first on the pages where this ,gospel appears at all4 ,but another thing is equally clear and that is that both ,matthew and ,luke had another source in common because they each give practically identical matter for much that is not in ,mark at all4 ,this second common source for ,matthew and ,luke has been called ,logia because it is chiefly discourses4 ,it is sometimes referred to as ,q1 the first letter of the ,german word ,quelle 7source74 ,unfortunately we do not have the whole of the ,logia 7,q7 before us as in the case of ,mark1 though we probably do not possess the original ending of ,mark in #af3i-bj4 ,but we can at least reproduce what is preserved4 ,still1 just as sometimes either ,matthew or ,luke made use of ,mark1 so in the case of the ,logia that is probably true4 ,hence we cannot tell the precise limits of the ,logia4 ,besides1 a small part of ,mark is not employed by either ,matthew or ,luke and that may be true of the ,logia4 ,but the fact of these two sources for ,matthew and ,luke seems to be proven4 ,but there are various other points to be observed4 ,one is that both ,matthew and ,luke may have had various other sources4 ,luke tells us 7,luke #a3a-d7 that he made use of many such sources1 both oral and written4 ,and a large part of ,luke does not appear in the other gospels or at least similar events and sayings occur in different environments and times4 ,hence our solid conclusion must allow freedom and flexibility to the writers in various ways4 ,we can see for ourselves how ,matthew and ,luke handled both ,mark and the ,logia1 each in his own way and with individual touches of style and purpose4 ,one other matter calls for attention4 ,papias is quoted by ,eusebius as saying that ,matthew wrote in ,hebrew 7or ,aramaic7 whereas our present ,matthew is in ,greek4 ,it is now commonly held that the real ,matthew 7,levi7 wrote the ,logia first in ,aramaic and that either he or some one else used that with ,mark and other sources for our present ,gospel of ,matthew4 ,it should be added also that there is a considerable body of evidence for the view that ,mark wrote under the influence of ,simon ,peter and preserves the vividness and freshness of ,peter's own style as an eyewitness4 ,one other result has come4 ,it is increasingly admitted that the ,logia was very early1 before #ej ,a4,d41 and ,mark likewise if ,luke wrote the ,acts while ,paul was still alive4 ,luke's ,gospel comes 7,acts #a3a7 before the ,acts4 ,the date of ,acts is still in dispute1 but the early date 7about ,a4,d4 #fc7 is gaining support constantly4 ,the upshot of these centuries of synoptic criticism has brought into sharp outline the facts that now stand out with reasonable clearness4 ,there are many points in dispute still1 but we at least know how the synoptic gospels were written1 and are reasonably certain of the dates and the authors4 ,there are many good books on the subject1 like ,hawkin's ,horae ,synopticae 7second edition71 ,sanday's ,oxford ,studies in the ,synoptic ,problem1 ,harnack's ,sayings of ,jesus and his ,date of the ,synoptic ,gospels and ,acts4 ,my own views appear in my ,commentary on ,matthew 7,bible for ,home and ,school71 ,studies in ,mark's ,gospel1 and ,luke the ,historian in the ,light of ,research4 #c4 ,the ,authorship of the ,fourth ,gospel ,it has come to pass that one has to defend the use of the ,fourth ,gospel on a par with the ,synoptic ,gospels4 ,the ,johannine problem is an old one and a difficult one4 ,it cannot be said that modern scholarship has come to a clear result here1 as is true of the ,synoptic ,gospels4 ,as a matter of fact1 the battle still rages vigorously4 ,there are powerful arguments on both sides4 ,a mere sketch of the real situation is all that can be attempted here4 ,the ,gospel and the ,epistles are in the same style and can be confidently affirmed to be by the same author4 ,the ,apocalypse has some striking peculiarities of its own4 ,there are likenesses in vocabulary and idiom beyond a doubt of a subtle nature1 but the grammatical irregularities in the ,book of ,revelation have long been a puzzle to those who hold to the ,johannine authorship4 ,a full discussion of these grammatical details can be found in the leading commentaries on the ,apocalypse4 ,a brief survey is given in my ,grammar of the ,greek ,new ,testament in the ,light of ,historical ,research4 ,the facts are undisputed and have a most interesting parallel in the papyri fragments of some of the less educated writers of the ,koine as one can see for himself in ,milligan's ,greek ,papyri or in any other collection4 ,there are two solutions of the problem with two alternatives in each instance4 ,there are those who roundly assert that the same man could not have written both the ,gospel and the ,apocalypse4 ,some of these affirm that the ,apostle ,john wrote the ,apocalypse but not the ,gospel4 ,certainly a ,john wrote the ,revelation or claimed it at any rate4 ,others of this group hold that an inferential ,presbyter ,john 7not the elder in #b and #c ,john7 supposed to be meant by ,papias wrote the ,apocalypse while some one else wrote the ,gospel whether the ,apostle ,john or not4 ,but a considerable body of scholars still hold that the same man wrote both the ,gospel and the ,apocalypse1 but a different explanation is offered by two groups4 ,one class of writers affirm that ,john wrote the ,apocalypse first before he had come to be at home in the ,greek idiom as we see it in the ,gospel and the ,epistles4 ,we know that ,john and ,peter were fishermen and were not considered men of literary training by the ,sanhedrin 7,acts #d3ad74 ,this explanation is sufficient but for the further fact that the early date of the ,apocalypse 7about #gj ,a4,d47 is not now so generally held to be true4 ,the later or ,domitianic date as given by ,irenaeus seems pretty clearly to be correct4 ,so the other group suggest that the books may belong substantially to the same period 7the ,domitianic date7 and that the explanation of the grammatical infelicities in the ,apocalypse may be due to the fact that ,john being on the ,isle of ,patmos when he wrote did not have the benefit of friends in ,ephesus who apparently read the ,gospel 7,john #ba3bd-be74 ,besides1 the excited state of ,john's mind because of the visions may have added to the number of the solecisms in the ,apocalypse4 ,this view ,i personally hold as probable4 ,the unity of both ,gospel and ,apocalypse is denied by some4 ,so the matter stands as between the ,gospel and the ,apocalypse4 ,but the ,fourth ,gospel has difficulties of its own4 ,these relate in part to the book in itself4 ,it is true there is a great similarity in language and style between the narrative parts of the book and the discourses of ,jesus4 ,it is affirmed that the writer has colored the speeches of ,jesus with his own style or even made up the dialogues so that they are without historical value or at least on a much lower plane than the ,synoptic ,gospels as objective history4 ,there is something in this point1 but one must remember that the ,synoptic ,gospels vary in their manner of reporting the speeches of ,jesus and aim to give the substance rather than the precise words of the ,master in all instances4 ,it is at most a matter of degree4 ,there is a ,johannine type of thought and phrase beyond a doubt1 but curiously enough we have a paragraph in ,matthew #aa3bd-ca and ,luke #aj3ba-bc that is precisely like the ,johannine specimens1 written long before the ,fourth ,gospel4 ,one must remember the versatility of ,jesus1 who could not be retained in any one style or mold4 ,but there are those who admit the ,johannine authorship of the ,gospel and yet who refuse to put it on the same plane as the ,synoptic ,gospels4 ,every one must decide for himself on this point4 ,for myself ,i see too much of ,christ in the ,fourth ,gospel in the most realistic and dramatic form to be mere invention4 ,we can enlarge our conception of ,christ to make room for the ,fourth ,gospel4 ,but even so it is urged that the ,beloved ,disciple cannot be the ,apostle ,john4 ,if not1 then the ,fourth ,gospel ignores the ,apostle ,john1--a very curious situation4 ,it is a long story for which one must go to the able books in defense of the ,johannine authorship by ,ezra ,abbott1 ,james ,drummond1 ,w4 ,sanday1 ,luthardt1 ,watkins and many others4 ,the ablest modern attacks are made by ,bacon and ,wendt and ,schmiedel4 ,my own view is given in my ,the ,divinity of ,christ in the ,gospel of ,john4 #d4 ,the ,jesus of ,history ,it is not long since the cry of ,back to ,christ was raised and away from ,paul and ,john4 ,soon this cry was changed to an appeal to the ,jesus of ,history in opposition to the ,christ of ,theology4 ,so we had the ,jesus or ,christ controversy 7see the ,hibbert ,journal ,supplement for #aiji74 ,it was gravely affirmed by some that ,paul had created the ,christ of ,christianity and had permanently altered the simple program of ,jesus for a social ,kingdom and had turned it into a great ecclesiastical system with speculative ,christological interpretations quite beyond the range of the vision of the ,jesus of the ,synoptic ,gospels4 ,it was admitted that the ,fourth ,gospel1 the ,apocalypse1 and the ,epistles all gave the ,pauline view4 ,to the ,synoptic ,gospels1 therefore1 we all went4 ,but the ,christ of ,paul and of ,john is in the ,synoptic ,gospels4 ,in all essentials the picture is the same in ,luke as in ,john and ,paul4 ,the shading is different1 but ,jesus in ,luke is the ,son of ,god as well as the ,son of ,man 7see my ,luke the ,historian in the ,light of ,research74 ,it was admitted that ,matthew gives the picture of ,jesus as the ,jewish ,messiah4 ,mark reflects ,peter's conception of ,jesus and gives ,jesus as ,lord and ,christ 7see my ,studies in ,mark's ,gospel74 ,and ,q 7the ,logia71 the earliest document that we have for the life of ,christ and almost contemporary with the time of ,christ1 gives the same essential features of ,jesus as the ,son of ,man and ,son of ,god 7see my article ,the ,christ of the ,logia in the ,contemporary ,review for ,august1 #aiai74 ,the sober results of modern critical research show the same figure in the very earliest documents that we possess 7,q and ,mark's ,gospel74 ,the ,christ of ,paul and of ,john walks as the ,jesus of ,history in the ,synoptic ,gospels4 ,we do know the earthly life of ,jesus much more distinctly and the research of centuries has had a blessed outcome in the enrichment of our knowledge4 ,matthew and ,luke are the first critics of the sources for the life of ,jesus4 ,we see how they made use of ,mark1 the ,logia1 and other documents4 ,the ,fourth ,gospel comes last with knowledge of the ,synoptic ,gospels4 ,there are1 to be sure1 a few men who even deny that ,jesus ever lived at all4 ,that was the next step2 but this absurdity has met complete refutation4 ,the ,christ of faith is the ,christ of fact4 ,there is no getting away from the fact of ,christ1 the chief fact of all the ages1 the centre of all history1 the hope of the ages4 ,jesus ,christ we can still call him1 our ,lord and ,saviour1 and he never made such an appeal to men as he does today in the full blaze of modern historical research4 ,men are just beginning to take his words to heart in all the spheres of human life4 ,the one hope of a new world of righteousness lies precisely in the program of ,jesus ,christ for the life of the individual in his private affairs1 in his family relations1 in his business and social dealings1 in his political ideals and conduct4 ,and nations must also follow the leadership of ,jesus the supreme ,teacher of the race4 ,the purpose of a harmony is not to teach theology1 but to make available for men of any faith the facts in the ,gospels concerning ,jesus of ,nazareth4 ,each interprets these facts and teachings as he sees the light4 ,we can all acknowledge our debt to modern scholarship for the tremendous contributions made to a richer understanding of the environment into which ,jesus came and to a juster appreciation of the real significance of his person and his message4 ,the ,gospels are still the most fascinating books in the world for sheer simplicity and beauty4 ,one can first trace the picture of ,jesus in the ,logia1 then in ,mark1 in ,matthew1 in ,luke1 in ,john4 ,to these he can add the pictures of ,christ in the ,acts1 the ,epistles1 the ,apocalypse4 #f4 ,the ,two ,genealogies of ,christ ,sceptics of all ages1 from ,porphyry and ,celsus to ,strauss1 have urged the impossibility of reconciling the difficulties in the two accounts of the descent of ,jesus4 ,even ,alford says it is impossible to reconcile them4 ,but certainly several possible explanations have been suggested4 ,the chief difficulties will be discussed4 #a4 ,in ,matthew's list several discrepancies are pointed out4 7a7 ,it is objected that ,matthew is mistaken in making three sets of fourteen each4 ,there are only forty-one names1 and this would leave one set with only thirteen4 ,but does ,matthew say he has mentioned forty-two names8 ,he does say 7#a3ag7 that there are three sets of fourteen and divides them for us himself3 ,so all the generations from ,abraham unto ,david are fourteen generations2 and from ,david unto the carrying away to ,babylon fourteen generations2 and from the carrying away to ,babylon unto the ,christ fourteen generations4 ,the points of division are ,david and the captivity2 in the one case a man1 in the other an event4 ,he counts ,david in each of the first two sets1 although ,jechoniah is counted only once4 ,david was the connecting link between the patriarchal line and the royal line4 ,but he does not say from ,david to ,jechoniah1 but from ,david to the carrying away unto ,babylon1 and ,josiah is the last name he counts before that event4 ,and so the first name after this same event is ,jechoniah4 ,thus ,matthew deliberately counts ,david in two places to give symmetry to the division1 which made an easy help to the memory4 7b7 ,the omissions in ,matthew's list have occasioned some trouble4 ,these omissions are after ,joram1 the names of ,ahaziah1 ,joash1 ,amaziah1 and after ,josiah1 these of ,jehoiakim and ,eliakim 7#b ,kings #h3bd2 #a ,chron4 #c3aa2 #b ,chron4 #bb3a1 #aa2 #bd3bg2 #b ,kings #bc3cd2 #bd3f74 ,but such omissions were very common in the ,old ,testament genealogies4 ,see #b ,chron4 #bb3i4 ,here son of ,jehoshaphat means grandson of ,jehoshaphat4 ,so in ,matt4 #a3a ,jesus is called the son of ,david1 the son of ,abraham4 ,a direct line of descent is all that it is designed to express4 ,this is all that the term begat necessarily means here4 ,it is a real descent4 ,whatever omissions were made for various reasons1 would not invalidate the line4 ,the fact that ,ahaziah1 ,joash1 and ,amaziah were the sons of ,ahab and ,jezebel would be sufficient ground for omitting them4 7c7 ,matthew mentions four women in his list1 which is contrary to ,jewish custom1 viz4 ,tamar1 ,rahab1 ,ruth1 and the wife of ,uriah4 ,but neither one is counted in the lists of fourteen1 and each one has something remarkable in her case 7,broadus1 ,comm4 on ,matt4 in loco74 ,three were guilty of gross sin1 and one1 ,ruth1 was of ,gentile origin and deserved mention for that reason4 ,this circumstance would seem to indicate that ,matthew did not simply copy the genealogical history of ,joseph4 ,he did this1 omitting what suited his purpose and adding likewise remarks of his own4 ,his record is thus reliable and yet made a part of his own story4 #b4 ,a comparison of the lists of ,matthew and ,luke4 ,if no list had been given by ,luke1 no further explanations would be necessary4 ,but ,luke not only gives a list1 but one radically different from ,matthew's1 and in inverse order4 ,matthew begins with ,abraham and comes to ,jesus2 ,luke begins with ,jesus and concludes with ,adam the son of ,god4 ,several explanations are offered to remove the apparent contradiction4 7a7 ,as early as ,julius ,africanus it was suggested that the two lines had united in accordance with the law of ,levirate marriage4 ,by this theory1 ,heli and ,jacob being stepbrothers1 ,jacob married ,heli's widow and was the real father of ,joseph4 ,thus both genealogies would be the descent of ,joseph1 one the real1 the other the legal4 ,this theory is ably advocated by ,mc,clellan1 pp4 #daf ff41 and ,waddy1 p4 xvii4 ,it is argued that ,jechoniah's children were born in captivity and so1 being slaves1 lost both his royal dignity and his legal status4 ,stress is laid upon the word begat to show that ,matthew's descent must be the natural pedigree of ,joseph1 and upon the use of the expression son 7as was supposed7 of ,joseph4 ,hence both ,joseph's real and legal standing are shown1 for by ,luke's account he had an undisputed legal title to descend from ,david4 ,this is certainly possible1 although it rests on the hypothesis of the ,levirate marriage4 7b7 ,lord ,arthur ,hervey1 in his volume on the ,genealogies of ,our ,lord1 and in ,smith's ,dictionary1 argues that ,matthew gives ,joseph's legal descent as successor to the throne of ,david4 ,according to this theory ,solomon's line failed in ,jechoniah 7,jer4 #bb3cj7 and ,shealtiel of ,matthew's line took his place4 ,luke's account1 on the other hand1 gives ,joseph's real parentage4 ,matthew's ,matthan and ,luke's ,mattathias are identified as one1 and the law of ,levirate marriage comes into service with ,jacob and ,heli4 ,this explanation has received favor with such writers as ,mill1 ,alford1 ,wordsworth1 ,ellicott1 ,westcott1 ,fairbairn4 ,mc,neile 7on ,matthew7 considers this the only possible view4 ,the chief objection seems to be the most natural meaning of begat1 implying direct descent1 and the necessity for two suppositions1 one about ,shealtiel and another about ,jacob and ,heli4 ,it is even fairly probable that the ,shealtiel and ,zerubbabel of ,matthew and ,luke are different persons4 7c7 ,the third and most plausible solution yet suggested makes ,matthew give the real descent of ,joseph1 and ,luke the real descent of ,mary4 ,several arguments of more or less weight can be adduced for this hypothesis4 7#a7 ,the most natural meaning of begat in ,matthew is preserved4 ,jesus goes through ,david's royal line and so fulfils prophecy4 ,it is not elsewhere stated that ,mary was of ,davidic descent1 although presumptive evidence exists in the language of the angel 7,luke #a3cb7 and the enrollment of ,mary 7,luke #b3e74 ,so ,robinson 7,revised edition74 7#b7 ,the use of ,joseph without the article1 while it is used with every other name in the list4 ,the absence of the article puts the name outside of the genealogical series properly so-called4--,godet4 ,this would seem to indicate that ,joseph belonged to the parenthesis1 as was supposed4 ,it would read thus1 being son 7as was supposed of ,joseph7 of ,heli4 ,luke had already clearly stated the manner of ,christ's birth1 so that no one would think he was the son of ,joseph4 ,jesus would thus be ,heli's grandson1 an allowable meaning of son4 ,see ,andrews' 7new edition7 ,life of ,our ,lord1 p4 #fc4 7#c7 ,it would seem proper that ,matthew should give the legal descent of ,jesus1 since he wrote chiefly for ,jews4 ,this1 of course1 could only be through ,joseph4 7#d7 ,and it would seem equally fitting that ,luke should give the real genealogy of ,jesus1 since he was writing for all4 ,and this could come only through ,mary4 ,if it is objected that a woman's genealogy is never given1 it may be replied that women are mentioned for special reasons in ,matthew's list1 though not counted1 and that ,mary's name is not mentioned in this list4 ,the genealogy goes back to her father either by skipping her as suggested above and making son mean the grandson of ,heli1 or by allowing ,joseph to stand in her place in the list1 as he would have to do anyhow4 ,on the whole1 then1 this theory seems the most plausible and pleasing4 ,so practically ,luther1 ,bengel1 ,olshausen1 ,lightfoot1 ,wieseler1 ,robinson1 ,alexander1 ,godet1 ,weiss1 ,andrews 7new edition1 p4 #fe71 ,broadus1 and many recent writers4 ,but ,bacon 7,genealogy of ,jesus ,christ1 ,hastings ,d4 ,b4 and ,am4 ,j4 of ,theol4 ,jan41 #aiaa7 says that nearly all writers of authority abandon any effort to reconcile the two pedigrees of ,jesus save as the effort of ,christians to give ,his ,davidic sonship rather than ,his actual descent4 ,see ,machen's survey of negative criticism1 on the subject in ,princeton ,theol4 ,review 7,jan41 #aijf74 ,barnard 7,hastings ,d4 ,c4 ,g47 admits two independent accounts1 but sees no solution1 but ,sweet 7,int4 ,st4 ,bible ,encyl47 accepts the view that ,matthew gives the real genealogy of ,joseph and ,luke that of ,mary4 ,plummer 7,comm4 on ,luke7 thinks it incredible that ,mary's genealogy should be given by ,luke4 #f4 ,the ,probable ,time of the ,saviour's ,birth ,every one now understands that the accepted date of our ,lord's birth is wrong by several years4 ,the estimates of the true date vary all the way from one to seven years ,b4,c4 ,there are various data that fix the year with more or less certainty1 but none of them with absolute precision4 ,they do1 however1 agree in marking pretty clearly a narrow limit for this notable occurrence1 ,b4,c4 #f or #e4 #a4 ,the death of ,herod the ,great is relied on with most certainty to fix the year of ,christ's birth4 ,the rule of ,archelaus and ,antipas demands ,b4,c4 #d4 ,josephus mentions an eclipse of the moon which occurred shortly before he died4 ,ant4 ,,xvii1 #f1 #d4 ,this eclipse is the only one alluded to by ,josephus1 and fixes with absolute certainty the time after which the birth of ,jesus could not have occurred1 since1 according to ,matt4 #b3a-f1 ,jesus was born while ,herod was still living4 ,the question to be determined would be the year of this eclipse4 ,astronomical calculations name an eclipse of the moon ,march #ab and #ac1 in the year of ,rome #gej1 and no eclipse occurred the following year that was visible in ,palestine4 ,josephus 7,ant4 ,,xvii1 #h1 #a71 says that ,herod died thirty-seven years after he was declared king by the ,romans4 ,in #gad he was proclaimed king1 and this would bring his death counting from ,nisan to ,nisan1 as ,josephus usually does1 in the year from #ast ,nisan #gej to #ast ,nisan #gea1 according to ,jewish computation1 at the age of seventy 7,andrews74 ,herod died shortly before the ,passover of #gej1 then1 according to the eclipse and the length of his reign4 ,caspari contends for ,january #bd1 #gec1 as the date of ,herod's death1 because there was a total eclipse of the moon ,january #aj4 ,so he puts his death fourteen days later4 ,mr4 ,page 7,new ,light from ,old ,eclipses7 argues for the eclipse that occurred ,july #ag1 #geb1 as the one preceding ,herod's death4 ,he thinks that this makes unnecessary the subtraction of two years from the reign of ,tiberius on the theory that ,tiberius was contemporary ruler with ,augustus for two years4 ,but he finds difficulty in lengthening ,herod's reign so long1 and his theory has gained no great acceptance as yet4 ,our present era makes the birth of ,christ in the year of ,rome #ged1 and is due to the ,abbot ,dionysius ,exiguus in the ,sixth ,century4 ,hence it is clear that if ,herod died in the early spring of #gej1 ,jesus must have been born at least four years before #ged1 the common era1 and likely in the year #gdi4 #b4 ,it has been inferred by some that ,jesus was at least two or three years old when ,herod slaughtered the infants in ,bethlehem1 ,matt4 #b3af4 ,thus the year would be put two years further back to the end of #gdg or beginning of #gdh4 ,but this is not demanded by the two years of ,matthew1 for ,herod would naturally extend the limit so as to be sure to include the child in the number slain1 and a child just entering the second year would be called two years old by ,jewish custom4 ,no more definite note of time comes from this circumstance1 save that the massacre probably took place some months before ,herod's death1 which fact would bring the ,saviour's birth back some time into the year #gdi4 #c4 ,the appearance of the star in the east 7,matt4 #b3b74 ,this1 of course1 was before ,herod's death1 and would agree in time with the slaughter of the children1 if the star be looked upon as a supernatural phenomenon1 and not the wise men's interpretation of a natural conjunction of planets4 ,kepler first suggested that1 as there was a conjunction of ,jupiter and ,saturn in #gdg1 to which ,mars was added in #gdh1 this conjunction might have been the bright star that led on the wise men4 ,see ,wieseler1 ,synopsis1 p4 #eg4 ,kepler had also suggested that a periodical star or a comet might have joined the constellation4 ,the ,chinese records preserve the account of the appearance of a comet in the spring of #gdi4 ,either of these theories is fascinating in itself1 especially to those minds that prefer a natural explanation of anything that looks miraculous4 ,both phenomena are possible in themselves1 but they hardly meet the requirements of the record in ,matthew4 7#a7 ,the word used is aster1 star1 and not astron1 a group of stars4 7#b7 ,rev4 ,c4 ,pritchard1 whose calculations have been verified at ,greenwich 7,smith's ,dic471 has shown that those planets could never have appeared as one star1 for they never approached each other within double the apparent diameter of the moon4 ,so ,ideler's hypothesis that the wise men all had weak eyes seems rather feeble4 7#c7 ,the year #gdg would conflict slightly with other evidence for ,christ's birth that favors #gdi1 although ,wieseler1 p4 #ec1 note #d1 contends that the star first appeared to the wise men two years before their visit1 and a second time on their visit to ,bethlehem4 7#d7 ,besides1 the star is said to have stood over where the young child was1 v4 #i4 ,if it were a natural star it would have kept going as they went1 and would not have stopped till they stopped4 ,even then it would appear as far away as ever from ,bethlehem4 ,it seems best1 therefore1 to admit the existence of a miracle here1 and hence gain nothing from the visit of the ,magi to establish the date of the ,saviour's birth1 save that it was not long before the slaughter of the infants1 and would at least agree with the date #gdi4 ,see ,broadus1 ,comm4 in loco4 #d4 ,the language of the heavenly host in ,luke #b3ad is urged by some as fixing the birth at a time when there was universal peace throughout the world4 ,the closing of the temple of ,janus in the time of ,augustus is also adduced1 but it is not certainly known when it was closed apart from #gbe and #gbi4 ,it was intended to be closed at the end of #gdd1 but was delayed on account of trouble among the ,daci and ,dalmatae4 ,see ,greswell i4 #dfi4 ,nothing specific can be obtained from this fact1 save that there was a time of comparative quiet in the ,roman world from #gdf to #geb4 ,there was a hush in the clangor of war when ,jesus was born4 #e4 ,the entrance of ,john the ,baptist upon his ministry gives us another note of time4 ,see ,luke #c3a f4 ,john emerged from the wilderness seclusion in the fifteenth year of the reign of ,tiberius4 ,augustus died ,august #bi1 #gfg4 ,adding fifteen years to this1 the fifteenth year of ,tiberius would begin ,august #bi1 #gha4 ,john was of a priestly family and so could naturally enter upon his work when thirty years of age4 ,thirty years subtracted from this gives #gea1 as the date of ,john's birth4 ,but that is too late by two years to agree with the other date4 ,here1 however1 the ,roman histories come to our help4 ,tacitus1 ,ann4 #a1 #c3 ,tiberius is adopted by ,augustus as his son1 and colleague in empire4 ,vell4 ,pat4 #b1 #aba2 ,at the request of ,augustus1 ,tiberius was invested with equal authority in all the provinces4 ,so ,suetonius ,aug4 #ig and ,tib4 #ba4 ,it is clear1 then1 that ,tiberius reigned jointly with ,augustus about two years before he assumed full control of the empire at the death of ,augustus4 ,luke could have used either date1 but ,tiberius' power was already equal to that of ,augustus in the provinces two years before his death4 ,luke would naturally use the provincial point of view4 ,taking off the two years from the joint reign of ,augustus1 we again come to the year #gdi1 as ,john was born six months before ,jesus4 ,so if ,john was born in the early part of the spring1 ,jesus would have been born in the summer or fall of #gdi4 #f4 ,the age of ,jesus at his entrance upon his ministry1 ,luke #c3bc4 ,and ,jesus himself1 when he began to teach1 was about thirty years of age4 ,so most modern scholars1 taking the language in the obvious sense4 ,origen refers it to the beginning of a new life1 by the second birth of baptism1 after his spiritualizing fashion4 ,the ,authorized ,version has it3 ,and ,jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age1 applying the beginning to the period of thirty years4 ,mc,clellan argues that it means about thirty years1 beginning2 that is1 a little the rise of thirty years4 ,the ,revised ,version seems to be preferable and the only doubt would be as to what is included in the phrase about thirty years4 ,it has been variously argued that ,jesus was from one to three years younger or older than thirty4 ,it seems more reasonable to give the words the meaning that he was just about thirty1 a few months under or over4 ,apparently this fact explains the idiom4 ,the argument that ,jesus had to be exactly thirty years old because the priest had to be so1 when he entered upon his work1 has no great force4 ,for ,jesus was not a priest save in a spiritual sense4 ,john had been preaching no great while when ,jesus was baptized by him and so entered upon his public ministry4 ,if ,john began his ministry when he was thirty years old in the fifteenth year of ,tiberius1 then ,jesus's ministry would begin about six months later4 ,his birth would then come in the latter part of #gdi1 unless ,john was born in the latter part of #gdh1 when it would be earlier in the year4 #g4 ,the building of the temple of ,herod gives a further clue to the date of ,christ's birth4 ,in ,john #b3bj1 the ,jews say1 ,forty and six years was this temple in building4 ,josephus tells us in one place that ,herod began rebuilding the temple in the fifteenth year of his reign1 ,war4 ,i1 #ba1 #a1 and in another that he did so in the eighteenth year of his reign1 ,ant4 ,,xv1 #aa1 #a4 ,in the account of ,herod's death1 ,ant4 ,,xvii1 #h1 #a1 he used two dates for his reign1 according as he counted from his declaration as king by the ,romans #gad1 or the death of ,antigonus #gag4 ,eighteen and fifteen would both be correct1 according as he reckoned from the one date or the other4 ,eighteen added to forty-six and both to #gad would make #ggh4 ,it was at the first ,passover in his ministry that this expression is used4 ,it has been probably six months since his baptism4 ,if thirty and a half years be taken from #ggh1 his birth would be thrown back to the year #gdg1 unless the forty-six years be taken as completed1 when it would be #gdh4 ,so ,robinson4 ,but this does not quite agree with the other notes of time we have4 ,many modern harmonists count the eighteen years from #gag1 and so bring the whole number1 adding forty-six1 down to #ghj1 or1 if the years are complete1 #gha4 ,thirty and a half from this would give the autumn of #gdi or #gej4 ,this is done because ,josephus usually reckons ,herod's reign from the death of ,antigonus1 #gag4 ,on the whole it seems clear that ,josephus is wrong in the ,war4 ,it is common enough to find ,josephus in one passage contradicting what he has said elsewhere4 ,the temple was begun the year that the ,emperor came to ,syria1 as is plain from ,josephus4 ,according to ,dio ,cassius1 ,,liv1 #g1 this visit was made in ,b4,c4 #bj or #ai4 ,correcting ,josephus by himself and by ,dio ,cassius we thus again get ,b4,c4 #e as the probable year of the birth of ,christ4 ,see ,schuerer1 ,history of the ,jewish ,people in the ,time of ,jesus ,christ1 ,div4 ,i41 ,vol4 ,i41 p4 #daj4 #h4 ,the census of ,augustus ,caesar mentioned in ,luke #b3a f41 furnishes the last note of time for this event4 ,this subject is involved in a great many difficulties1 and for a full discussion1 the reader is referred to ,ramsay's ,was ,christ ,born at ,bethlehem1 and his ,bearing of ,recent ,discovery on the ,trustworthiness of the ,new ,testament 7,chap4 ,,xx7 and to my ,luke the ,historian in the ,light of ,research4 ,every statement made by ,luke in #b3a-g was once challenged4 ,every one is now shown to be correct4 7#a7 ,it used to be said that no census was ever taken by ,augustus1 but heathen writers mention three1 in #gbf1 #gdf1 #gfg4 ,one of these1 #gdf1 may be the one here mentioned1 which was delayed for various reasons1 or which was executed slowly in the distant provinces4 ,but it is not necessary that the phrase all the world should be pressed to its literal meaning1 though this is more natural4 ,nor does the argument from silence prove that no other general census was taken by ,augustus4 ,but ,ramsay has triumphantly vindicated ,luke and the general census under ,augustus by proof from the papyri that ,augustus inaugurated a periodical census every fourteen years from ,b4,c4 #h on4 ,the second occurred ,a4,d4 #f 7,acts #e3cg74 ,see ,ramsay's ,was ,christ ,born at ,bethlehem1 and ,bearing of ,recent ,discovery on ,trustworthiness of the ,new ,testament 7,chap4 ,,xx7 and my ,luke the ,historian 7,chap4 ,,xx74 ,we have only to think that there was delay in the carrying out of the census in ,palestine to bring this date down to ,b4,c4 #f 7or even #e74 7#b7 ,it is not a taxing1 but an enrollment 7,rev4 ,ver47 that was taken4 ,there was a taxing later 7,acts #e3cg74 ,and if it were done while ,herod was king1 ,augustus could not have taxed ,judea without ,herod's consent4 ,but ,herod was not now in good form with ,augustus4 7#c7 ,this helps to explain another objection that the enrollment would not have included ,judea anyhow1 because it was not yet a province1 but a kingdom4 ,but it is not likely that ,herod would have displeased ,augustus by refusing such information if it was desired4 ,tacitus asserts that the regna1 the dependent kingdoms1 were included in the census taken by ,augustus4 7#d7 ,hence1 also1 it is natural that the enrollment should have taken place according to the ,jewish and not according to the usual ,roman method1 because ,herod would wish it to be in accordance with the customs of his kingdom4 ,so every one went to his own city4 ,we now know from numerous papyri that in ,egypt the family went to the home city4 ,the ,jews were used to enrollment by tribes and that was allowed4 ,see ,deissmann's ,light from the ,ancient ,east1 p4 #bfh1 and ,ramsay's ,was ,christ ,born at ,bethlehem1 p4 #ajh4 7#e7 ,we now have to meet the objection that ,quirinius was not governor till ten years later1 ,a4,d4 #f1 when a taxing did occur4 7,see ,acts #e3cg47 ,it is now possible to give a real solution of this problem4 ,luke is now shown to be wholly correct in his statement that ,quirinius was twice governor1 and that the first census took place during the first period4 ,a series of inscriptions in ,asia ,minor show that ,quirinius was governor of ,syria ,b4,c4 #aj-g and so twice governor of ,syria 7second time ,a4,d4 #f2 ,josephus1 ,ant4 ,,xviii1 #a3a74 ,see ,ramsay1 ,bearing of ,recent ,discovery1 pp4 #bgc-cjj1 and my ,luke the ,historian1 pp4 #abg-i4 ,tertullian 7adv4 marc4 iv1 #ai7 says that ,sentius ,saturninus was governor of ,syria ,b4,c4 #i-f4 ,but we now know that ,varus was controlling the internal affairs of ,syria while ,quirinius was leader of the army4 ,luke is therefore quite accurate in his statement about ,quirinius being twice governor of ,syria4 ,the ,lapis ,tiburtinus has iterum ,syriam about ,quirinius4 ,ramsay has cleared up this famous historical puzzle and has completely vindicated ,luke4 ,few subjects have excited as much interest1 even needless curiosity1 as the date of the birth of the ,saviour4 ,but it is noticeable that by the masses of ,christians more interest is taken in the day of ,christ's birth than in the year4 ,the ,christmas festivities and the natural desire to make that the birthday of ,jesus cause this widespread interest in ,december #be4 ,not only is it impossible to determine with any degree of certainty the day of the month1 but the time of the year also is equally uncertain4 ,the chief thing that appears proved is that ,december #be is not the time1 since the shepherds would hardly be in the fields at night with the flocks1 which were usually taken into the folds in ,november and kept in till ,march4 ,the nights of ,december would scarcely allow watching in the mountain fields even as far south as ,bethlehem4 ,and besides1 the long journey from ,nazareth to ,bethlehem would hardly be made by ,joseph and ,mary in winter1 the rainy season4 ,mc,clellan argues for ,december #be1 but his arguments are not convincing4 ,the ancients had various days for ,christ's birth3 ,may #bj 7,clement of ,alexandria71 ,april #bj1 ,december #be1 ,january #e4 ,tertullian and others even say that the day of his birth 7,december #be7 was kept in the register at ,rome4 ,but chronologists attach little weight to this testimony1 since the same tradition puts the birth of ,john1 ,june #bd2 the annunciation of ,mary1 ,march #be1 and ,elizabeth's conception1 ,september #be--the four cardinal points of the year4 ,if one might hazard an opinion1 it would be that the birth of ,jesus occurred in the summer or early in the fall of #gdi or of #gdh1 that is ,b4,c4 #f or #e4 ,turner 7,chronology1 ,hastings ,d4 ,b47 reaches ,b4,c4 #f as the probable year of the birth of ,jesus though he did not have the new light on the census and on ,quirinius which confirms it4 ,hitchcock 7,hastings ,d4 ,c4 ,g47 saw the bearing of the periodical census that called for ,b4,c4 #g-e1 but did not yet know the discovery about ,quirinius4 ,armstrong 7,chronology ,new ,testament1 ,int4 ,st4 ,bible ,encycl47 is less certain about the precise year4 #g4 ,the ,feast of ,john #e3a1 and the ,duration of ,our ,lord's ,ministry ,it seems almost impossible to decide with certainty what feast is alluded to in ,john #e3a4 ,one can only speak with moderation where everything is so doubtful4 ,various feasts have been suggested as solving the problem4 #a4 ,the ,feast of ,dedication has been proposed by ,kepler and ,petavius4 ,but this view has met with no great amount of favor1 for there is too short an interval between the first ,passover and ,december1 when it occurred4 ,it might be a later ,feast of ,dedication1 but this feast was not one of the great feasts and would hardly have drawn ,jesus all the way from ,galilee to attend it4 ,he did attend this feast once 7,john #aj3bb71 but he was already in ,judea at this time1 having come up to attend the ,feast of ,tabernacles 7,john #g3b1 #ad74 ,so ,robinson1 ,clark1 etc4 ,so this feast seems to be ruled out of the question4 #b4 ,the ,feast of ,tabernacles is advocated by ,ebrard1 ,ewald1 ,patritius4 ,it is very unlikely that the ,feast of ,tabernacles after the first ,passover could be meant1 as the ,saviour did not return to ,galilee for some time afterwards4 ,he could hardly have come back so soon to ,jerusalem4 ,but the ,feast of ,tabernacles after the ,passover of ,john #f3d is mentioned later1 ,john #g3b f41 which ,jesus attended1 it seems1 because he was hindered from going up to the previous ,passover by the murderous designs of the ,jews4 ,it is possible that the feast of ,john #e3a may have been the ,feast of ,tabernacles after a ,passover not mentioned1 and so would come after the second ,passover of his public ministry4 ,but we do not know that ,jesus attended any other ,feast of ,tabernacles save the one in ,john #g3b1 which he may have done because he missed the preceding ,passover4 #c4 ,the ,feast of ,purim1 first suggested by ,kepler1 has had great favor with modern harmonists1 but apparently more on sentimental than on scholarly grounds4 ,meyer says1 ,without doubt it was ,purim4 ,but it is by no means so certain as ,meyer would have us believe4 7a7 ,meyer relies on ,john #d3ce and #f3d to show that this was the ,feast of ,purim just before ,john #f3d4 ,but the expression1 ,say not ye1 ,there are yet four months and then cometh the harvest8 may be1 and probably is a proverbial saying indicating the usual length of time between sowing and reaping1 which1 as a matter of fact1 was about four months4 ,hence nothing can be determined by this note of time4 ,and1 besides1 the four months could precede the ,passover just as well as ,purim1 because the sowing lasted a month or so4 7b7 ,the ,feast of ,purim occurred a month before the ,passover4 ,is it at all likely that two circuits of all ,galilee were made in the meantime1 besides much work of other kinds8 ,see ,luke #h3a and ,matt4 #i3ce-ch4 ,the three general circuits throughout ,galilee1 besides the mission of the twelve and a large part of their training1 the general statements about the ,master's work of preaching and healing1 require an expansion rather than a contraction of the time for this period of his ministry4 ,it seems then quite unreasonable1 when once the mind takes in this enlarged conception of the missionary work of ,jesus1 as recorded by the ,synoptic ,gospels1 to limit it to the amount of work mentioned by ,john1 since he omits much of the early ministry1 because1 it would seem1 the others are so full just here4 7c7 ,the ,feast of ,purim1 moreover1 was observed at home in the synagogues1 and not by going to ,jerusalem4 ,see ,esther #i3bb and ,jos4 ,ant4 xi4 #f1 #ac4 ,but the multitude 7,john #e3ac7 seems to imply 7,robinson7 a concourse of strangers at one of the great festivals4 7d7 ,it seems hardly probable1 besides1 that ,jesus would go to any feast just a month before the ,passover and come back to ,galilee and not go to the ,passover itself 7,john #f3d74 ,least of all would he do this in the case of ,purim4 7e7 ,the man who was healed at this feast was healed on the ,sabbath 7,john #e3i71 and this occasioned the outburst among the people4 ,but the ,feast of ,purim was never celebrated on the ,sabbath1 and when it came on a ,sabbath it was postponed4 ,see ,reland1 ,antiq4 ,sacr4 #d1 #i4 #d4 ,pentecost is held to be the feast here alluded to by many early and some later writers1 such as ,chrysostom1 ,cyril of ,alexandria1 ,erasmus1 ,calvin1 ,bengel1 etc4 ,norris makes it the ,pentecost after the first ,passover1 but to do this1 has to crowd into this short interval ,christ's first ,judean ministry1 the journey through ,samaria together with the first part of his ,galilean ministry4 ,so this idea has little weight4 ,mc,clellan argues that the allusions of ,jesus in ,john #e3ag-dg1 infallibly point to ,pentecost1 meaning the ,pentecost after a second ,passover that is not mentioned4 ,he further contends that this best suits the chronological arrangement and the term a feast of the ,jews4 ,this view is certainly possible and cannot be positively disproved1 although it is not so infallibly clear as ,mc,clellan imagines4 #e4 ,the ,passover has always met with many adherents1 being the second ,passover in the ,saviour's ministry and making four in all 7,john #b3ac2 #e3a2 #f3d2 #ab3a74 ,an unnamed ,passover may exist in the ministry even if not referred to here4 ,the arguments in favor of this interpretation are the most satisfactory4 ,we cannot consider them as absolutely conclusive1 yet the ,passover meets all sides of the case better than any of the other feasts4 7a7 ,the plucking of ears from standing grain by the disciples 7,luke #f3a7 would indicate a time after the ,passover and before ,pentecost4 ,this incident appears to have happened after the feast mentioned in ,john #e3a4 7b7 ,it is fairly implied 7,john #e3a7 that the feast took ,jesus to ,jerusalem4 ,the ,passover would more likely be the one to lead him there4 ,it is expressly stated that he attended two ,passovers and a special reason is given for his not attending a third4 ,if there was another ,passover in his ministry1 this would naturally be the one4 7c7 ,this suits best the hostility manifested at this feast1 which would have time to become acute 7,broadus' ,comm4 on ,matt47 and break out with increased vigor in ,galilee and prevent his attending the next ,passover 7,john #f3d2 #g3a74 7d7 ,if this ,passover be a second ,passover of the ministry1 sufficient time is afforded for the great ,galilean ministry without artificial crowding4 ,his ministry would be long enough to allow the great work recorded as done by him4 ,only two serious objections can be urged to this idea4 7#a7 ,it is objected that the article would be used with feast1 if the ,passover were thus mentioned as the feast4 ,but to this we can reply3 7a7 ,the article is sometimes omitted when the ,passover is meant 7,matt4 #bg3ae2 ,mark #ae3f74 7b7 ,the absence of the article proves nothing whatever one way or the other4 ,no conclusion can be drawn for or against the idea of the ,passover4 7c7 ,the article does occur in many manuscripts1 including the ,sinaitic1 and is put in the margin of the ,revised ,version4 ,so nothing can be gained against this theory here4 7#b7 ,the chief objection is that ,jesus would not have remained so long away from ,jerusalem1 a year and six months1 from the ,second ,passover till the ,feast of ,tabernacles after the ,third ,passover4 ,but 7a7 we do not know that he did not attend any other feast in that time1 for silence proves nothing2 and 7b7 a good reason is given for his failure to attend the ,third ,passover1 which may have applied to the others1 if he did not go1 viz41 the desire of the ,jews to kill him 7,john #g3a74 ,hence it is natural that there should be a variety of opinions as to the length of the ,saviour's ministry1 varying all the way from one to four years1 leaving out mere guesses based on five and more ,passovers4 ,mc,knight argues that the ministry may have lasted five or more full years1 since all the ,passovers of ,christ's ministry may not be mentioned4 7#a7 ,the ,bi-paschal theory makes the time of the public life of ,jesus one year1 allowing only two ,passovers to the ,gospel of ,john4 ,browne in his ,ordo ,saeclorum advocates this view4 ,but the words1 the ,passover1 in ,john #f3d must be omitted1 and for this there is not enough documentary evidence4 ,if this could be done1 ,westcott thinks ,browne would make out a good case4 ,but with the present text1 his view cannot be entertained4 7#b7 ,the ,tri-paschal theory finds only three ,passovers in the life of ,christ4 ,hence the public work of ,jesus would be from two to two and a half years in length4 ,this view is quite possible1 as is shown in the ,harmony4 ,these writers usually make the feast of ,john #e3a ,purim before the ,passover of ,john #f3d1 or ,pentecost after it4 7#c7 ,the ,quadri-paschal theory contends for four ,passovers and a ministry of from three to three and a half years4 ,this theory follows from making ,john #e3a a ,passover or ,purim before or ,pentecost or ,tabernacles after an unnamed ,passover4 ,this seems to be the more probable length of the ,saviour's public work on earth4 ,how short a space was even this to compass such a marvellous work4 ,the ministry of ,jesus seems crowded beyond our comprehension4 ,it would be certain that the ,saviour's public life lasted about three years and a half1 if it was admitted that ,john #e3a referred to a ,passover4 ,various writers seek to find an allusion to the three years of the ,saviour's ministry in the ,parable of the ,barren ,fig ,tree 7,luke #ac3f71 but this application of the parable is by no means certain1 since three might naturally be used as a round number4 ,but there can very well have been a passover not mentioned4 ,all we can say is that we know that the ministry of ,jesus was two and a half years in length with the probability of three and a half4 #h4 ,the ,four ,lists of the ,twelve ,apostles ,it is interesting to compare the four lists of ,jesus' chosen apostles as given by ,matthew1 ,mark1 ,luke1 and ,acts4 ,mark #c3af f4 ,matthew #aj3b f4 ,luke #f3ad f4 ,acts

later grouping according to later developments in this inner circle4 ,the primacy of ,peter in these lists does not mean necessarily that he was the acknowledged leader at first4 ,see discussion under 7#d7 below4 ,the point to note here is that we are not to think of ,peter as the formal leader of the ,twelve before the death of ,christ4 ,jesus was himself that leader4 7#b7 ,one mark of an apostle was that he should have been with the ,lord from the baptism of ,john until the day that he was received up 7,acts #a3ba f474 ,perhaps no great stress is to be laid on any exact time here1 provided it began in the time of ,john4 ,an apostle must know the ,lord4 ,hence ,paul received the vision of ,christ4 ,we have some knowledge of seven of these apostles before this time4 ,if we infer from ,john #a3da that ,john followed the example of ,andrew in finding his own brother1 it was not long till ,james was a disciple as well as ,john1 ,andrew1 and ,peter4 ,philip and ,nathanael are soon added to the list 7,john #a3dc f474 ,later ,matthew hears the call of the ,saviour1 too 7,matt4 #i3i2 ,mark #b3ac f74 ,of the other five we have no knowledge previous to this occasion4 ,jesus had found them by the same insight that led to his other selections4 ,he chose ,judas1 though knowing that he was a devil4 7#c7 ,observe the three groups of four1 headed by ,simon ,peter1 ,philip1 and ,james the son of ,alpheus1 respectively4 ,the great variety in the arrangement of the other names makes this uniformity significant4 ,it seems clear that there are three recognized groups among the apostles 7,bengel1 ,broadus1 ,clark74 ,each group has the same persons in every list1 although there is such a variety in the order4 ,in the first group ,matthew and ,luke have the same order1 while ,mark and ,acts agree4 ,in the second group ,mark and ,luke have a like order1 while ,matthew and ,acts agree in putting ,matthew at the end of this group4 ,in the third group ,matthew and ,mark agree exactly1 while ,luke and ,acts are identical save the dropping out of ,judas ,iscariot from the list in ,acts because of his apostasy and death4 ,no great importance can be attached to the precise order within the groups since ,luke1 in the ,gospel and ,acts1 gives a different arrangement in the first and second groups4 7#d7 ,observe also that ,simon ,peter not only stands at the head of his group1 but at the head of all the groups1 while ,judas ,iscariot is always at the bottom till he drops out entirely4 ,simon finally occupied a position of precedence of some sort4 ,he was one of the inner circle of three that was so close to the ,saviour's heart4 ,perhaps it was this1 rather than any notion of primacy in authority or power4 ,he was the spokesman because of his natural impetuosity4 ,the question as to who should be greatest among the apostles illustrates the spirit of rivalry about precedence that existed among them4 ,in the ,october1 #aiaf1 ,journal of ,theol4 ,studies1 ,dr4 ,a4 ,wright argues that the critical text in ,mark #ad3aj means ,judas ,iscariot the first of the ,twelve4 ,the ,koine did sometimes use heis as an ordinal 7see ,moulton1 ,prolegomena1 p4 #if1 and my ,grammar of the ,greek ,new ,testament1 pp4 #fga f474 ,but the disputes among the ,twelve show that they themselves considered ,jesus only as leader till his death4 ,see my article on ,the ,primacy of ,judas ,iscariot1 the ,expositor 7,london7 for ,april1 #aiag1 and one by ,rendel ,harris in the ,june1 #aiag1 issue1 and ,wright's reply in the ,november1 #aiag1 number4 7#e7 ,there are among the ,twelve three pairs of brothers--,simon and ,andrew1 ,james and ,john1 ,james the son of ,alpheus and ,judas the brother of ,james4 ,the first two pairs form the first group of the ,twelve4 ,it is1 however1 uncertain whether ,judas is the brother or the son of ,james4 ,the ,greek is ambiguous1 ,james's ,judas4 ,the ,revised ,version translated it ,judas son of ,james1 but the ,epistle of ,jude begins ,judas a servant of ,jesus ,christ and brother of ,james4 ,but the ,jude of the ,epistle and the ,judas of the ,twelve were hardly the same4 ,cf4 ,broadus1 ,comm4 on ,matt41 p4 #baf4 7#f7 ,there are some apparent discrepancies in the names in the various lists4 ,bartholomew occurs in every list1 but is generally understood to be another name for ,nathanael4 ,thaddeus is also called ,judas the brother of ,james4 ,matthew and ,mark give ,thaddeus1 and ,luke in ,gospel and ,acts gives ,judas the brother of ,james4 ,it was a very common circumstance for one to have two names4 ,lebbeus1 given in some ,,mss4 in ,matthew and ,mark1 is only a marginal explanation of ,thaddeus4 ,both are terms of endearment4 ,matthew and ,mark again call ,simon the ,cananaean1 while ,luke in the ,gospel and ,acts speaks of him as ,simon the ,zealot4 ,but ,zealot is simply a translation into ,greek of the ,aramaic ,cananaean4 ,jesus gave the other ,simon the name ,cephas1 which was translated into the ,greek ,peter1 meaning rock4 ,he is called by all three names in the ,new ,testament4 ,matthew likewise had another name1 ,levi1 and ,thomas was also called ,didymus1 which was a ,greek translation of ,thomas1 meaning twin4 #i4 ,the ,sermon on the ,mount ,do ,matthew and ,luke record the same discourse8 ,let us consider the several theories on this subject4 ,my own view will be stated last4 #a4 ,some hold that the two discourses are entirely distinct in time1 place1 circumstances and audience4 ,the arguments for this theory usually presented are these4 7a7 ,the time of delivery of the two sermons appears to be different4 ,matthew gives the sermon before his call 7,matt4 #i3i71 while ,luke precedes his sermon by the call of the twelve4 ,hence ,matthew's discourse comes quite a while before ,luke's in the early ,galilean ministry4 ,but it may be well replied that1 inasmuch as ,matthew's arrangement in ch4 #h-ac is not chronological1 but topical1 it is entirely possible1 even likely1 that the same arrangement should prevail in ch4 #e-g4 ,it is perfectly natural that ,matthew1 writing for ,jewish readers and about the ,messianic reign1 should give at the beginning of his account of that reign the formal principles that rule in this new state of affairs1 as proclaimed by ,jesus on a later occasion4 ,in the early part of the ministry of ,jesus1 besides1 the hearers would hardly be prepared for so advanced and radical ideas4 ,besides1 ,matthew makes no note of time whatever for this discourse4 7b7 ,the place appears to be different4 ,one is on a mountain 7,matt4 #e3a71 while the other is on a plain 7,luke #f3ag74 ,hence the one is called by ,clark the ,sermon on the ,mount1 and the other the ,sermon on the ,plain4 ,miller 7,int4 ,stand4 ,bible ,encyclopaedia7 is uncertain whether ,matthew and ,luke report the same discourse and so discusses also ,luke's ,sermon on the ,plain4 ,but his argument is not convincing4 ,if it is necessary that plain here shall mean a place away from a mountain1 down in a valley1 this would seem to refer to a different place4 ,mc,clellan seeks to show that ,luke uses and in #f3ag-bj by way of anticipation4 ,he presents for effective grouping events that happened after ,jesus came down out of the mountain before he gives the sermon delivered to the whole body of disciples up in the mountain4 ,this is possible1 but another interpretation is much more likely4 ,the plain here is really simply a level place 7,rev4 ,ver474 ,so then the two accounts of ,matthew and ,luke will harmonize quite well4 ,jesus first went up into the mountain to pray 7,luke #f3ab7 and selected and instructed the ,twelve4 ,afterwards he came down to a level place on the mountain side whither the crowds had gathered1 and stood there and wrought miracles 7,luke #f3ag74 ,he then went up a little higher into the mountain where he could sit down and see and teach the multitudes 7,matt4 #e3a74 ,matthew gives the multitudes as the reason for his going up into the mountain4 ,by this arrangement any discrepancy between sat in ,matthew and stood in ,luke disappears4 ,waddy has given an admirable arrangement of the material at this point in ,note ,c1 p4 xix4 ,many writers affirm that the tradition mentioned by ,jerome1 making the ,horns of ,hattin the place where the ,sermon on the ,mount was delivered1 suits this explanation exactly4 ,there is a level place on it where the crowds could have assembled4 ,it is not necessary to insist that this mountain is the ,mount of ,beatitudes1 nor need we contend1 as ,robinson does1 that the mountain must be very close to ,capernaum4 7c7 ,the audience is different4 ,matthew 7#d3be7 states that his audience was composed of great multitudes from ,galilee and ,decapolis and ,jerusalem and ,judea and from beyond ,jordan1 while ,luke 7#f3ag7 says that there was a great multitude of his disciples1 and a great number of the people from all ,judea and ,jerusalem1 and the sea coast of ,tyre and ,sidon4 ,matthew says 7#e3a7 also that his disciples came unto him4 ,hence both assemblages were composed of great multitudes from many regions besides many of his disciples1 but in neither case is ,jesus said to address himself to any save his disciples1 his followers 7,matt4 #e3a and ,luke #f3bj74 ,so in both accounts the ,saviour seems to withdraw a little from the great outside crowd of curiosity seekers4 ,but the multitudes also must have heard something of what he said1 for they were astonished at his teaching 7,matt4 #g3bh74 ,andrews well shows that the audience in ,matthew were not mostly ,jews 7according to ,kraft71 and the audience in ,luke mostly heathen4 ,matthew omits ,tyre and ,sidon1 but he had already mentioned ,syria 7#d3bd71 which includes ,tyre and ,sidon4 ,neither list may be complete4 ,hence nothing can be made out of ,luke's omission of ,galilee1 ,decapolis1 and beyond ,jordan4 ,great multitudes from the same general regions are alluded to as being present4 7d7 ,the contents are radically different4 ,it is objected by ,alford1 ,greswell1 etc41 that ,luke omits large portions of what ,matthew has so that ,luke has only thirty verses1 while ,matthew has one hundred and seven4 ,but this leaves out of consideration the several large portions of the same matter which ,luke has placed elsewhere1 or which ,jesus repeated on other occasions 7cf4 ,matt4 #f3i-ac and ,luke #aa3b-d2 ,matt4 #f3be-cd and ,luke #ab3bb-ca74 ,jesus often repeated his sayings on other occasions as all teachers do and ought to do4 ,neither evangelist gives a complete report of this wonderful discourse4 ,so ,matthew omits some things which ,luke records 7cf4 ,matt4 #e3ab with ,luke #f3bc-f2 ,matt4 #g3ab with ,luke #f3ca-dj74 ,nor need we be surprised that ,luke1 writing generally for all ,christians1 omits large portions towards the beginning of the sermon that were designed especially for ,jews 7see ,matt4 #e3ag-bg2 #f3a-ah74 ,these ,matthew would be sure to record4 ,luke adds four woes to the beatitudes4 ,it is unnecessary to remark upon minor variations of language1 since the gospels manifestly aim to give the sense of what the ,saviour said and not the verbatim words4 ,the variations in the ,synoptic reports of the sayings of ,jesus add much to the interest of the narratives4 ,moreover1 to offset these variations1 which admit of explanation1 it ought to be remembered that the two discourses begin alike and end alike1 that they have a general similarity in the order of the different parts1 and that they show a general likeness and often absolute identity of expression4 ,so these differences all melt away on careful comparison1 and it is not proved that there are two distinct sermons4 #b4 ,another theory holds that the two sermons are distinct1 but spoken on the same day1 and near together4 ,so ,augustine1 who is followed by ,lange4 ,the further points of this theory are two4 7a7 ,the one 7,matt47 was spoken before the choice of the ,apostles1 to the disciples alone1 and while ,jesus was sitting on the mountain4 7b7 ,the other 7,luke7 was spoken after the choice of the ,apostles1 to the multitudes1 and standing upon the plain4 ,it is not hard to see that these points do not solve the question4 ,in ,matt4 #g3bh we are told that the multitudes were astonished at his teaching and in ,luke #f3bj that he lifted up his eyes on his disciples1 and said4 ,so this distinction vanishes4 ,the question of the mountain and the plain has been already discussed1 and another more probable explanation suggested4 ,it is only a conjecture that the discourse of ,matthew was before the appointment of the ,twelve4 ,this theory has had no great following4 #c4 ,wieseler holds that ,matthew has simply brought together detached sayings of ,jesus on different occasions and does not mean to present the whole as one discourse2 ,luke's account being only one of the discourses used by ,matthew4 ,but this violates the evident notes of place and audience and surroundings by which ,matthew gives local color and cast to the entire discourse4 ,see ,matt4 #e3a and #h3a4 ,the case of the grouping of the miracles in chapters #h and #i is not parallel1 since there ,matthew does not state that they occurred on one occasion4 ,the fact that various portions of this discourse are repeated elsewhere by ,matthew is immaterial1 because this was a common habit of ,jesus in his discourses4 ,votaw in his exhaustive and able discussion of the ,sermon on the ,mount in the extra volume in the ,hastings ,d4 ,b4 admits the possibility of this hypothesis1 but considers it far less probable than the historical reality of the ,sermon as recorded by both ,matthew and ,luke4 ,moffatt 7,encycl4 ,biblica7 considers it a composition rather than an actual address1 while ,bacon 7,sermon on the ,mount7 admits only what is also in ,luke4 ,adeney 7,hastings ,d4 ,c4 ,g47 holds to the essential integrity of the address in ,matthew4 #d4 ,both ,matthew and ,luke give substantially similar accounts of the same discourse4 ,in that case we have a good illustration of the use of the ,logia in ,matthew and ,luke4 ,most of the arguments for this interpretation have been mentioned in rebuttal of the previously mentioned theories4 7a7 ,this is the most natural explanation in view of the large volume of similar matter in both1 in the beginning1 progress1 and close of the discourse4 ,it is always best to give the ,scripture the most natural and manifest setting1 when possible4 7b7 ,this theory is the most probable one1 since it is hardly likely that ,jesus would again make the same sermon to the same audience1 and under the same circumstances4 7c7 ,there are no objections to this theory that do not admit of a probable explanation4 ,see the discussion above4 ,the omissions and additions in each case suit the specific purpose of the writer4 ,the apparent contradictions1 when studied carefully1 blend into a harmonious whole4 ,hence we seem to be justified in maintaining the identity of the discourses recorded by ,matthew and ,luke4 ,for a careful outline of this matchless discourse see ,broadus on ,matthew4 ,stalker1 ,the ,ethics of ,jesus1 has a very able exposition of the teaching4 #aj4 ,the ,combination of ,luke and ,john ,we now have to deal with the most perplexing question in harmonistic study1 the proper disposal of the mass of material furnished by ,luke in #i3ea-ah3ad4 ,mc,clellan discusses ten schemes1 pushes them all aside1 and then suggests another which is no more convincing and equally complicated4 ,nothing can be attempted here but a presentation of the chief points in this endless discussion4 ,all the principal plans for arranging this part of ,luke proceed on one or the other of the following ideas3 #a4 ,some hold that this portion of ,luke is neither orderly nor chronological4 ,hence many of the incidents1 here recorded as apparently belonging to the last six months of the ,saviour's ministry1 in reality are to be placed earlier4 ,they are put here as a sort of summing up of things not mentioned elsewhere4 ,so ,robinson and others4 ,in favor of this theory it is urged that ,luke here speaks of some things that ,matthew and ,mark put before the third ,passover1 such as the healing of a demoniac 7,luke #aa3ad-cf7 and the blasphemy following4 ,but it may be well replied4 7a7 ,it is not at all clear that we have here the same events that are recorded in ,matthew and ,mark4 ,similar miracles were often wrought in the ,master's work and similar sayings were frequently repeated on similar or different occasions4 ,this was a common habit with him1 as we have heretofore seen4 7b7 ,this portion of ,luke is his distinctive contribution to the ministry of ,christ in addition to his account of the nativity4 ,he has condensed his account of the withdrawals from ,galilee1 apparently to make room for the description of another part of ,christ's work4 ,matthew and ,mark almost confine themselves to the ministry in ,galilee1 while ,luke thus devotes the bulk of his narrative to what seems to be a later ministry1 after ,jesus has left ,galilee4 ,it is hardly likely that this account should be a mere jumble of scattered details4 7c7 ,especially is this unlikely in view of ,luke's express statement 7#a3c7 that he was going to write an orderly narrative4 ,in no real sense could this be true1 if this large section is dislocated in time and order of events4 #b4 ,others refer the entire narrative 7,luke #i3ea-ah3ad7 to the last journey of the ,saviour to ,jerusalem to the ,passover and see a triple reference to the same journey arguing for triplications in ,luke4 ,others prefer to understand it as meaning the journey to the ,feast of the ,tabernacles or ,dedication4 ,some would combine this idea with the unchronological plan noticed above4 ,in favor of this journey being continuous and the last one to ,jerusalem1 the following arguments are adduced3 7a7 ,the language of ,luke #i3ea1 when the days were being completed that he should be received up1 implies that the end was drawing near1 and that he was setting his face towards ,jerusalem to meet it4 ,this is true without doubt1 for ,wieseler's interpretation of received up as meaning ,christ's reception by man is entirely too forced4 ,the expression points to the end of ,christ's earthly career4 ,but what does the vague expression1 the days were being completed1 mean8 ,does it have to mean only a few weeks8 ,may it not include as much as six months8 ,for we know that ,jesus had been instructing his disciples on this very subject expressly and pointedly1 and at the ,transfiguration he had spoken of his decease4 ,henceforward this was the uppermost subject in his mind4 ,so the interpretation is correct1 but the inference is not necessary4 ,this journey in ,luke #i3ea need not be either just before the ,passover or the ,dedication4 ,it could be as early as ,tabernacles and be thus described4 7b7 ,it is insisted that this is ,jesus' final departure from ,galilee1 the one described by ,matthew and ,mark4 ,no place is allowed for a return to ,galilee after the departure in ,luke #i3ea4 ,robinson urges that ,luke #i3ea naturally means a final departure from ,galilee4 ,but it may simply mean that he left it as a sphere of activity1 not that he never entered ,galilee again4 ,and then ,luke #ag3aa expressly says that ,jesus went through the midst of ,samaria and ,galilee4 ,this means more than going on the border between the two countries1 as ,mc,clellan argues4 ,he went through some portions of ,samaria and ,galilee4 ,in order for ,mc,clellan to carry out his scheme he has to resort to the artificial device of referring part of ,john #aj3dj to the departure from ,galilee1 and the other half to the ,perean ministry after a diversion of considerable length into ,samaria and back into ,galilee4 ,so the effort is not convincing to place all the material in this large section of ,luke in one last journey to ,jerusalem4 #c4 ,the combination of ,luke's narrative with that of ,john4 ,wieseler was the first to point out a possible parallel between ,luke and ,john4 ,john gives us three journeys1--the ,feast of ,tabernacles 7,john #g3b ff471 the journey to ,bethany at the raising of ,lazarus 7,john #aa3ag f471 the final ,passover 7,john #ab3a74 ,luke likewise three times in this section speaks of ,jesus going to ,jerusalem1 #i3ea2 #ac3bb2 #ag3aa4 ,hence it would seem possible1 even probable1 that their journeys corresponded4 ,if so1 ,john #g3b-aa3ed is to be taken as parallel to ,luke #i3ea-ah3ad4 ,this plan is followed by various modern scholars4 ,according to ,john's chronology1 ,jesus was in ,jerusalem at the ,feast of ,tabernacles 7#g3b71 at the ,feast of ,dedication 7#aj3bb71 and at the ,passover 7#ab3a74 ,just after the ,feast of the ,dedication we find him abiding beyond ,jordan1 where ,john had baptized 7,john #aj3dj74 ,from this point he comes to ,bethany near ,jerusalem at the raising of ,lazarus 7,john #aa3ag71 whence he withdraws to a little town called ,ephraim in the hills north of ,jerusalem 7,john #aa3ed74 ,here he abides awhile with his disciples away from his enemies till he goes to the ,passover4 ,such is ,john's outline of these last six months of the ,saviour's life4 7a7 ,but how is all this to be reconciled with the statement of ,luke 7#ag3aa7 that ,jesus went through ,samaria and ,galilee8 ,if ,jesus went back to ,galilee1 ,john would have mentioned it1 we are told4 ,not necessarily1 not unless it fell in with his plan to do so4 ,hence no conflict need exist between ,luke and ,john4 ,luke says he went through ,galilee and ,john permits it by the break in his narrative at #aa3ed4 ,various points in the six months have been suggested as the point when the return to ,galilee was made4 ,the most natural point is from ,ephraim1 whither he had withdrawn 7,john #aa3ed74 ,it was not far to go up through ,samaria and join in ,galilee 7,luke #ag3aa7 the pilgrims from his own country who were in the habit of going to the ,passover through ,perea1 to avoid passing through ,samaria4 ,this supposition is not improbable1 as ,robinson and ,mc,clellan urge1 but very natural2 it makes ,luke and ,john both agree1 and allows ,luke #i3ea to mean that ,jesus then left ,galilee as a field of operations4 ,various other theories are suggested for this return to ,galilee1 but none of them appear as fitting as this one4 ,it was just before the ,passover1 when such a journey from ,galilee to ,jerusalem would be made4 7b7 ,one other point needs to be considered4 ,the theory we hold makes the journey in ,luke #i3ea identical with the one in ,john #g3b-aj1 viz41 to ,tabernacles4 ,many hold such identity to be impossible because of apparent contradictions in the narratives4 ,andrews makes three objections against this identity3 7#a7 ,that the ,lord refused to go with his brethren 7,john #g3f74 ,but it was his brothers who were not favorable to him that he refused to go with4 ,he simply wished to avoid publicity4 ,his face was set 7,luke #i3ea7 all the time1 but he was not going with them4 7#b7 ,that the manner of the going is unlike2 the one in ,john is secret1 while the one in ,luke is public4 ,but the secrecy in ,john may merely mean the avoidance of the caravan routes and so through ,samaria 7,luke74 ,the messengers sent before were not to herald his coming to gather crowds simply1 but to make ready for him4 ,it was needed1 since the ,samaritans saw that his face was as if he were going to ,jerusalem4 7#c7 ,that he went rapidly according to ,john and slowly according to ,luke4 ,he does1 according to ,john1 appear in ,jerusalem before the feast is over1 but ,luke does not make him move slowly4 ,nor is it necessary to connect the sending of the seventy 7,luke #aj3a ff47 with this journey4 ,it belongs rather to the interval between ,tabernacles and ,dedication4 ,so the secret going of ,john and the going through ,samaria of ,luke agree4 ,john explains1 #g3aj1 that ,jesus rejected the advice of his brothers4 ,this theory is held irrespective of this being the final departure from ,galilee4 ,it is not necessary to fill out every detail in this programme and show where ,jesus was between ,tabernacles and ,dedication4 ,the main outlines remain clear and harmonious and are fairly satisfactory4 ,this combination of ,luke and ,john preserves the integrity of both narratives and fills up a large blank that would otherwise exist in these closing months of the ,saviour's life4 ,upon the whole1 therefore1 this view seems decidedly preferable1 though nothing like absolute certainty can be claimed in regard to the question4 ,we do not know what special source ,luke had for #i3ea-ah3ad4 ,some of it may have come from the ,logia 7,q74 ,hawkins 7,oxford ,studies1 pp4 #ee ff47 calls it the ,travel ,document4 ,burton 7,some ,principles of ,literary ,criticism and ,their ,application to the ,synoptic ,problem7 suggests ,the ,peraean ,document and thinks that ,luke may have drafted it early out of oral material4 ,but at any rate it is a great and characteristic portion of his ,gospel and adds greatly to our knowledge of ,christ4 #aa4 ,did ,christ ,eat the ,passover8 ,to put this question in another form1 it would be1 ,on what day of the month was ,jesus crucified8 ,for the crucifixion occurred on the same ,jewish day as the eating of the meal recorded by all four ,evangelists4 ,nearly all agree that the crucifixion occurred on ,friday and the meal was eaten the evening before1 our ,thursday1 but the beginning of the ,jewish day1 counting from sunset to sunset4 ,but what day of the month was it8 ,the ,passover feast began on the #aeth ,nisan1 the lamb being slain in the afternoon of the #adth4 ,but the day of the week would vary with the new moon4 ,if ,jesus ate the regular ,passover supper1 he was crucified on the #aeth ,nisan4 ,if he ate an anticipatory meal a day in advance and was himself slain at the hour of killing the paschal lamb1 he was crucified on the #adth ,nisan4 ,in that case he did not really eat the ,passover supper at all4 ,so then we must seek to determine the truth about this matter1 because express statements are made about it in the ,gospels4 #a4 ,some sentimental views of the question need to be disposed of first4 ,a great controversy once raged in the early churches about the ,passover4 7a7 ,in the latter part of the second century some of the churches of ,asia ,minor1 largely composed of ,jewish ,christians1 kept up the ,passover on the ground that ,jesus had eaten it the night before his crucifixion4 ,polycarp1 the disciple of ,john1 expresses the persuasion that ,jesus ate the ,passover4 7b7 ,but some of the churches were afraid of this example and its application to the discussion about the relation of the ,mosaic laws to ,christianity4 ,so they took the position that ,jesus did not eat the ,passover himself1 but as the ,paschal ,lamb1 was crucified at the time the lamb was slain4 ,he was our ,passover4 ,the ,greek churches now hold this position1 while the ,latin churches hold that ,jesus ate the ,passover4 ,but those arguments are purely subjective and do not affect the question of fact4 ,hence we waive this old-time controversy and come to the testimony of the ,gospels themselves4 #b4 ,the testimony of the ,synoptists1 ,mark1 ,matthew1 and ,luke4 ,the evidence they give is abundant and explicit to the effect that ,jesus ate the regular ,paschal ,supper on the evening after the #adth ,nisan4 7a7 ,jesus predicted that his death would occur during the ,feast of the ,passover4 ,see ,matthew #bf3b1 ,ye know that after two days the ,passover cometh1 and the ,son of ,man is delivered up to be crucified4 ,see also ,mark #ad3a and ,luke #bb3a1 where the fact is alluded to4 ,passover is used in the general sense of the feast of unleavened bread1 as ,luke explains4 ,the feast of unleavened bread followed the ,passover meal1 beginning the next morning and lasting a week4 ,but the one term was used to include the other4 ,the ,passover was expanded to mean the entire feast that followed1 and vice versa4 7b7 ,it is true that the ,jewish authorities decided not to put ,jesus to death during the feast 7,matthew #bf3e2 ,mark #ad3b74 ,but this decision was reached not because of any compunctions of conscience in the matter1 but because they were afraid of a tumult among the people1 owing to the great crowds1 many of whom were friendly to ,christ4 ,but so soon as ,judas offered his services1 their fears vanished and they proceeded with their murderous designs 7,matthew #bf3ad2 ,mark #ad3aa74 ,the rulers did expedite matters at the crucifixion that the bodies might not be exposed on the ,sabbath4 ,but they had often tried to slay ,jesus on the ,sabbath heretofore4 ,public executions did take place during the feasts 7,deut4 #ag3ab f474 7c7 ,the ,synoptists flatly say 7,matthew #bf3ag1 #bj2 ,mark #ad3ab1 #ag2 ,luke #bb3g1 #ad7 that on the first day of unleavened bread ,jesus sent ,peter and ,john from ,bethany into the city to make preparations for eating the ,passover1 and that on the evening of the same day he ate it with his disciples4 ,luke calls it the hour4 ,now1 the first day of unleavened bread was the #adth ,nisan4 ,there is no question about this4 ,josephus speaks of the feast lasting eight days4 ,the lamb of the supper being slain on the afternoon of this day1 it was regarded as the beginning of the feast4 ,besides1 ,mark and ,luke end the whole matter by saying that on this day they sacrificed the ,passover4 ,jesus himself calls it the ,passover 7,luke #bb3ae74 ,it is useless to say that ,jesus ate the ,passover a day in advance4 ,this could not be done1 especially by one to whom the temple authorities were hostile4 ,equally useless is it to say that the ,jews ate the ,passover a day too late4 ,if a mistake was made about the new moon1 they would hardly keep the ,passover on two different days1 nor would ,jesus be apt to make a point about the matter4 #c4 ,the testimony of ,john4 ,if we had only the evidence of the ,synoptists1 no serious trouble would ever arise on this question4 ,strauss has strenuously urged that ,john is on this point in hopeless conflict with the other ,evangelists1 since he makes ,jesus eat the ,passover on the evening after the #acth ,nisan 7,wednesday71 and not the evening after the #adth 7,thursday74 ,this idea has gained a foothold among many able modern writers who see a clear contradiction between the ,synoptics and the ,fourth ,gospel4 ,some of these evidently do so because they hold that the ,paschal controversy in ,asia ,minor arose from this supposed conflict of ,john with the ,synoptists1 and that this shows ,john's ,gospel to have been in existence when that controversy began4 ,it is not worth while to maintain that ,john in chapter #ac alludes to a different meal on a different occasion4 ,the points of contact with the ,synoptists are too sharp and clear1 such as the sop given to ,judas4 ,but five passages in ,john are produced as being in direct opposition to the statements of the ,synoptic ,gospels4 ,a careful examination of each of these five passages in the ,fourth ,gospel will show that ,john does not say that ,jesus ate the ,passover meal a day in advance of the regular time1 but quite the contrary4 7a7 ,john #ac3a f41 ,now before the feast of the ,passover1 ,jesus knowing1 etc4 ,here1 it is alleged1 a distinct statement is made that this supper was before the ,passover1 and consequently twenty-four hours before4 ,but several things are taken for granted in this inference4 ,one is that the phrase feast of the ,passover is to be confined to this particular meal1 and is not to include the entire festival of unleavened bread 7cf4 ,luke #bb3a74 ,often by a metonymy of speech the name of a part is given to the whole4 ,besides1 it is not certain that verse #a is to be connected with verse #b4 ,the best exegetes agree that a complete idea may be presented therein1 either a general statement that ,jesus loved his own before the ,passover and until the end1 or that he came into special consciousness of this love just before the ,passover4 ,and if the more natural interpretation be taken and the application of this love be made in verse #b1 it is not necessary that the before be as much as twenty-four hours4 ,observe also the text adopted in the ,revised ,version in verse #b1 not supper being ended1 but during supper4 ,with this reading agree the other references in #ac3d1 riseth from supper1 #ac3ab1 sat down again1 #ac3bc1 there was at the table reclining in ,jesus' bosom4 ,so the natural meaning is that just before the meal began1 ,jesus purposed to show his love for his own by a practical illustration4 ,so1 after they had all reclined at the table according to custom1 ,jesus arose and passed around the tables1 washing their feet2 then he reclined again and proceeded with the meal4 ,so nothing at all can be made out of this passage against the view that this was the regular ,passover2 but1 on the other hand1 the most natural meaning is that ,john is here describing what took place at this ,passover meal4 ,else1 why should he mention the ,passover at all8 7b7 ,john #ac3bg1 ,that thou doest1 do quickly4 ,the objection is made that the disciples would not have thought that ,jesus referred to the feast 7#ac3bi71 if the ,passover meal was already going on or was over4 ,so1 it is urged1 this remark must have been made a day before the ,passover was celebrated4 ,but if that were the case1 where would be the necessity for hurry1 as there would be plenty of time on the morrow8 ,the word feast here need not be confined to the paschal supper1 but more naturally refers to the whole of the feast1 of which the supper was a part4 ,so this haste was needed to provide for the feast of unleavened bread which began on the next morning4 ,no real force lies in the fact that this day was a holy day1 being the first day of the ,passover festival4 ,the ,mishna expressly allows the procuring1 even on a ,sabbath1 what was needed for the ,passover4 ,if this could be done on a ,sabbath1 much more could it be done on a feast day which was not a ,sabbath4 ,hence not only was it possible for the disciples to have misunderstood the remark of ,jesus on the ,passover evening1 but it was far more natural that such misapprehensions should arise then than a day before4 ,so this passage1 like the preceding1 when rightly understood1 really confirms the ,synoptists4 7c7 ,john #ah3bh1 ,they themselves entered not into the palace1 that they might not be defiled1 but might eat the ,passover4 ,at first sight this does look like a contradiction4 ,for this was certainly after the feast of ,john #ac3b2 and if they had not eaten the ,passover meal1 why here is a clear case of conflict of authorities4 ,but it is by no means certain that the phrase eat the ,passover means simply the paschal supper4 ,this phrase occurs five times in the ,new ,testament besides this1 but all in ,matthew1 ,mark1 and ,luke 7,matt4 #bf3ag2 ,mark #ad3ab1 #ad2 ,luke #bb3aa1 #ae74 ,in all of these the reference is to the paschal supper4 ,but the word passover is used in three senses in the ,new ,testament1 the paschal supper1 the paschal lamb1 or the paschal festival4 ,the word is used eight times in ,john besides this instance1 and in every case the ,passover festival is meant4 ,so we may fairly infer that the usage of ,john must determine his own meaning rather than that of the ,synoptists4 ,this becomes more probable when we remember that ,john wrote much later than they1 after the destruction of ,jerusalem1 when these terms were not used so strictly4 ,he always speaks of the ,jews as separate from ,christians4 ,and this very expression is used in #b ,chronicles #cj3bb1 ,and they did eat the festival seven days4 ,the ,septuagint translates it1 ,and they fulfilled 7kept7 the festival of unleavened bread seven days4 ,see ,robinson4 ,so it is entirely possible for the phrase1 eat the ,passover1 to mean in this instance also the celebration of the ,passover festival4 ,some have urged that the ,sanhedrin had not eaten the ,passover at the regular hour because of the excitement of the trial4 ,but this is hardly tenable4 ,and1 moreover1 since this remark was made early in the morning1 how could that affect the eating of the supper in the evening8 ,for whatever impurities one had during the day passed away at evening4 ,hence this uncleanness must belong to the same day on which it was incurred4 ,if the ,passover festival had begun1 this would be true1 for they would wish to participate in the offerings of that day4 ,so this passage likewise becomes an argument in favor of agreement with the ,synoptists4 7d7 ,john #ai3ad1 ,now it was the ,preparation of the ,passover4 ,this is claimed to mean the day preceding the ,passover festival4 ,hence ,christ was crucified on the #adth ,nisan1 in opposition to the ,synoptists4 ,the afternoon before the ,passover was used as a preparation1 but it was not technically so called4 ,this phrase ,preparation was really the name of a day in the week1 the day before the ,sabbath1 our ,friday4 ,we are not left to conjecture about this question4 ,the ,evangelists all use it in this sense alone4 ,matthew uses it for ,friday 7#bg3fb71 ,mark expressly says that the ,preparation was the day before the ,sabbath 7#ae3db71 ,luke says that it was the day of the ,preparation and the ,sabbath drew on 7#bc3ed71 and ,john himself so uses the word in two other passages 7#ai3ca1 #db71 in both of which haste is exercised on the ,preparation1 because the ,sabbath was at hand4 ,the ,new ,testament usage is conclusive1 therefore1 on this point4 ,this1 then1 was the ,friday of ,passover week4 ,and this agrees with the ,synoptists4 ,besides1 the term ,preparation has long been the regular name for ,friday in the ,greek language1 caused by the ,new ,testament usage4 ,it is so in the ,modern ,greek to-day4 ,it was the ,sabbath eve1 just as the ,germans have ,sonnabend for ,sunday eve1 i4e41 ,saturday afternoon4 ,so this passage also becomes a positive argument for the agreement between ,john and the ,synoptists4 7e7 ,john #ai3ca1 ,for the day of that ,sabbath was a high day4 ,from this passage it has been argued that at this ,passover the first day of the ,passover festival coincided with the weekly ,sabbath4 ,but that is an entirely gratuitous inference4 ,this coincidence would1 of course1 be a high day1 but so would the first day of the feast1 the last day1 or the ,sabbath of the feast4 ,in ,john #g3cg the last day is called the great day of the feast4 ,the ,sabbath occurring during the festival would be a high day likewise4 ,robinson's arguments on this point are quite conclusive4 ,nothing can be made out of the expression against the position of the ,synoptists4 ,mc,clellan discusses various other passages in ,john which show that the crucifixion occurred on ,friday1 and that this was the first day of the feast 7,john #ah3ci1 #dj2 #ai3ca1 #db2 #bj3a1 #ai1 etc474 ,we conclude then that a fair interpretation of the passages alleged not only removes all contradiction between ,john and the ,synoptists1 but rather decidedly favors the view that they have the same date for the ,passover meal1 and that ,jesus ate the ,passover at the regular hour and was crucified on ,friday1 #aeth ,nisan4 ,it is reassuring to note that ,david ,smith 7,the ,days of ,his ,flesh1 ,appendix ,,viii7 reaches the same conclusion as that just stated4 ,he makes it out that ,jesus ate the regular ,passover meal and was crucified on ,friday #aeth of ,nisan and that the passages in ,john really agree with the ,synoptic account4 #ab4 ,the ,hour of the ,crucifixion ,in ,john #ai3ad it is stated that the time when ,pilate sentenced ,jesus to be crucified1 or rather when he began the last trial in which he sentenced him1 was about the sixth hour4 ,we read1 however1 in ,mark #ae3be that it was the third hour when ,christ was crucified4 ,the ,synoptists all unite in saying that the darkness began at the sixth hour4 ,the ,jewish way of counting the hours was to divide the night and day into twelve divisions each1 beginning at sunrise and sunset4 ,the hours would thus vary in length with the time of year4 ,just after the vernal equinox the third hour of ,mark would be about #i ,a4,m41 and the sixth hour of the ,synoptists would be about noon4 ,the ninth hour1 when ,jesus gave his piteous cry to ,god 7,mark #ae3cd71 would be about #c ,p4,m4 ,but how can the sixth hour of ,john1 the time when ,jesus was sentenced by ,pilate1 be reconciled to this schedule8 ,a real difficulty is here presented1 but by no means an insuperable one1 as ,alford and ,meyer hold4 ,let us discuss some of the more usual explanations4 ,andrews and ,mc,clellan give quite a variety of suggested solutions4 #a4 ,some hold that sixth in ,john is a textual error for third4 ,this could easily happen1 since the gamma and the digamma of the ,greek are very similar4 ,eusebius said that the accurate copies had it third in ,john4 ,but the textual evidence is overwhelmingly against it1 and1 besides1 the difficulty would not be removed4 ,john is evidently speaking of the time at the last trial and ,mark of the time after ,jesus has been led out to the crucifixion4 ,so nothing is gained by this hypothesis4 ,we should still be confronted with the same difficulty4 ,the change to third in ,john was a mere stupid scribal correction4 #b4 ,others would change the punctuation in ,john #ai3ad so as to make of the ,passover belong to sixth hour1 beginning from midnight4 ,but there is no evidence that the ,passover began with midnight4 ,so ,hofmann4 ,this is very forced and unnatural4 #c4 ,views that hinge on the word preparation4 ,some would hold that ,john simply says that about noon the preparation time of the ,passover begins4 ,but ,preparation here means ,friday1 and noon is not the hour needed to harmonize with ,mark4 ,equally arbitrary is it to count six hours backward from noon so as to reach six o'clock4 ,augustine suggested that the six hours are to be counted from #c ,a4,m4 ,this would make #i ,a4,m41 and would concur with the hour of ,mark4 ,but this is wholly arbitrary and unsatisfactory1 and would not relieve the trouble4 #d4 ,equally arbitrary is the solution that makes ,mark refer to the hour of the sentence and ,john to the crucifixion1 just the reverse of the ,scripture account4 ,augustine also proposed that ,jesus was crucified at the third hour by the tongues of the ,jews1 and at the sixth by the hands of the soldiers4 #e4 ,others hold that ,mark and ,john both speak in general terms4 ,hence the crucifixion may have taken place between #i and #ab in the morning4 ,mark looks in one direction and ,john in the other without aiming at definiteness4 ,the ,jews1 it is true1 were not as exact in the use of expressions of time as we are to-day1 but this solution hardly meets the requirements of the case4 ,mark puts his third hour at the beginning of the crucifixion1 and ,john his sixth hour at the beginning of the last trial4 ,this reconciliation does not reconcile4 #f4 ,the most satisfactory solution of the difficulty is to be found in the idea that ,john here uses the ,roman computation of time1 from midnight to noon and noon to midnight1 just as we do now4 ,hence the sixth hour would be our six o'clock in the morning4 ,if this hour was the beginning of the last trial of ,jesus1 we then have enough1 but not too much1 time for the completion of the trial1 the carrying away of ,jesus outside the city walls1 together with the procuring of the crosses1 etc4 ,all the events1 moreover1 narrated by the ,evangelists1 could have occurred between dawn 7,john #ah3bg7 and six or seven4 ,for a long time it was doubted whether the ,romans ever used this method of computing time for civil days4 ,farrar vehemently opposes this idea4 ,but ,plutarch1 ,pliny1 ,aulus ,gellius1 and ,macrobius expressly say that the ,roman civil day was reckoned from midnight to midnight4 ,so the question of fact may be considered as settled4 ,the only remaining question is whether ,john used this mode of reckoning4 ,of course1 the ,romans had also the natural day and the natural night just as we do now4 ,in favor of the idea that ,john uses the ,roman way of counting the hours in the civil day1 several things may be said4 7a7 ,he wrote the ,gospel late in the century1 probably in ,asia ,minor1 long after the destruction of ,jerusalem1 when the ,jewish method would not likely be preserved4 ,roman ideas were prevalent in ,asia ,minor4 ,john evidently is not writing for the ,jews primarily1 since he constantly speaks of the ,jews as outsiders4 ,john is writing to be understood by the people1 and this is the way it would be understood in ,asia ,minor4 7b7 ,all the passages in ,john1 where the hour is mentioned1 allow this computation4 ,john #a3ci would be #aj ,a4,m42 #d3f f4 would be #f ,p4,m41 counting from noon also 7as we do74 ,this hour suits best the circumstances4 ,in the evening the women would come to get water1 ,jesus would have time for his journey thither1 and would be tired and hungry4 ,in ,john #d3eb the hour would be #g ,p4,m4 ,this hour likewise suits the circumstances better4 ,john #aa3i1 ,are there not twelve hours in the day8 is not against this idea1 since here obviously the natural day1 as opposed to night1 is meant4 ,the ,romans used both methods and so do we4 7c7 ,moreover1 one passage in ,john 7#bj3ai71 when compared with ,luke #bd3bi1 #cf1 makes it necessary to understand that ,john used the ,roman method in this instance4 ,it was toward evening1 and the day had declined1 according to ,luke1 when ,jesus and the disciples drew near to ,emmaus4 ,here he ate supper and1 rising up that very hour1 the disciples returned seven miles to ,jerusalem and told these things to the eleven who were together4 ,but while they were narrating these things ,jesus appeared to them4 ,now ,john1 in mentioning this very appearance of ,jesus 7#bj3ai71 says that it was evening on that day1 the first day of the week1 i4e41 evening of the day when ,mary ,magdalene had seen the ,lord4 ,but with the ,jews the evening began the day4 ,hence ,john1 here at least1 is bound to mean the ,roman day4 ,it was the evening of the same day in the morning of which ,mary had seen ,jesus4 ,this appears conclusive4 ,john did use the ,roman method here1 may have done so always1 almost certainly did so in #ai3ad4 ,besides1 as ,mc,clellan shows1 the natural meaning of ,john's phrase is that it was the sixth hour of the ,friday 7,preparation7 of the ,passover4 ,but we have just seen that ,john in #bj3ai counts according to the ,roman day4 ,hence the sixth hour of ,friday would be six o'clock in the morning4 ,this is the only solution that really harmonizes ,john and ,mark4 ,the rest make the hours agree1 but the hours bring together different events4 ,this method harmonizes the whole narrative1 and seems entirely probable1 if we can assume that the ,romans or ,greeks employed hours in this sense1 a point denied by ,ramsay4 ,sir ,w4 ,m4 ,ramsay 7,the ,expositor for ,march1 #ahic1 and ,extra ,volume1 ,hastings ,d4 ,b47 contends that ,mark and ,john are at variance1 but that it is of small moment1 since the ancients had little notion about hours4 ,he seeks to show that the martyrdom of ,polycarp and ,pronius1 usually relied on to prove that in ,asia ,minor the hours were counted from midnight1 took place in the afternoon1 instead of the morning1 the usual time4 ,hence the eighth and tenth hours respectively would be #b ,p4,m4 and #d ,p4,m4 ,ramsay argues that1 when hours were counted1 they were always counted from sunrise4 ,he holds that ,john is more accurate about hours than ,mark and that hence ,mark is in error4 ,he agrees that ,john stood on the ,roman plane in the use of time1 but denies that the sixth hour can be our #f ,a4,m4 ,but the evidence is too uncertain for such a dogmatic position4 #ac4 ,the ,time of the ,resurrection of ,christ #a4 ,mark1 ,luke1 and ,john say that the resurrection had taken place early on the first day of the week1 i4e4 early ,sunday morning4 ,mark 7#af3i7 says that ,jesus1 having risen early1 on the first day of the week1 appeared1 etc4 ,the position of early is ambiguous in the ,greek and the passage is disputed4 ,mark 7#af3b7 states that it was very early on the first day of the week1 the sun having risen1 when the women came to the sepulchre4 ,luke 7#bd3a7 says that the women came to the tomb at early dawn on the first day of the week4 ,john 7#bj3a7 says that ,mary ,magdalene came to the tomb in the morning on the first day of the week4 ,so then1 there is no doubt that these three ,evangelists mean to say that ,jesus rose very early on ,sunday morning1 and that shortly after that event came the two ,marys and some other women to anoint his body with spices4 ,much objection is made to some of the details in the accounts of ,mark and ,john especially as being inconsistent4 ,john 7#bj3a7 says that ,mary comes while it is yet dark1 while ,mark says 7#af3b7 that the sun was risen4 ,but ,mark also says in the same verse that it was very early1 which would agree with ,john's statement that it was yet dark4 ,hence ,mark's other statement1 that the sun was risen1 must be interpreted in the light of his own words4 ,two solutions can be offered4 7a7 ,we may suppose1 as ,mc,clellan and others1 that ,john's note of time refers to the starting from ,bethany1 while it was yet dark or very early 7,mark74 ,in a few minutes it would be early dawn 7,luke71 and by the time the women come to the tomb1 the sun would be up4 ,all this is entirely possible and looks even probable1 for in the twilight of early dawn1 the border line is very narrow between darkness and sunrise4 ,a stiff morning walk would pass through all the stages4 ,it all depends on where you take your stand in this fleeting interim4 ,mark covers both sides and so includes it all from the first glimmering light till the full light of day4 7b7 ,or the expression1 the sun was risen 7aorist participle71 may simply be a general expression applicable to the phenomena of sunrise4 ,the first gleam of daylight comes from the rising sun1 though not yet completely risen4 ,robinson gives several examples from the ,septuagint1 where the same phrase is used in the aorist tense in a general way for the dawning light of day 7,judges #i3cc2 #b ,kings #c3bb2 ,ps4 #ajd3bb74 ,either of these explanations is entirely possible and removes the difficulty4 #b4 ,but ,matthew seems to put the resurrection on the evening after the ,sabbath1 our ,saturday evening4 ,he says 7#bh3a71 ,but late on the ,sabbath day1 as it was dawning into the first day of the week1 came ,mary ,magdalene and the other ,mary to view the sepulchre4 ,if this passage means that the visit was made at the end of the ,sabbath day 7evening7 and after the resurrection of ,jesus1 then ,matthew is in plain contradiction to the other ,evangelists4 ,some have taken the position that ,jesus rose at sunset on the ,sabbath day1 forgetting that ,mark 7#af3i7 says that he rose early in the morning4 ,there are several ways of reconciling ,matthew with the other gospels4 7a7 ,greswell1 ,alford and others would translate late on the ,sabbath day by late in the week4 ,the ,greek word is the same in this verse for ,sabbath and week4 ,in both cases1 therefore1 the translation could be the same4 ,but little sense would result from this translation4 ,late in the week and dawning into the first day of the week hardly fit well4 ,by this explanation the latter expression is used for the first part of ,sunday and the visit occurred in this dawning part of the day4 7b7 ,others would translate late on the ,sabbath day by after the ,sabbath day4 ,godet1 ,grimm and others contend that the ,greek idiom could mean this1 and the ,koine allows it 7,robertson1 ,grammar of the ,greek ,new ,testament1 pp4 #fde f474 ,this rendering is possible1 though the papyri have instances of late on for this preposition 7opse71 and it is so translated by several ,english translators4 ,thus the ,greek idiom allows either late on or after4 7c7 ,matthew does not clearly say that this visit was made after the resurrection of the ,saviour although his words may mean that4 ,hence the words may have their natural meaning as sustained by the papyri4 ,late on the ,sabbath day1 about sundown say1 the two ,marys go to view the sepulchre 7,matt4 #bh3a71 having rested through the day 7,luke #bc3ef74 ,the women who had come with ,jesus from ,galilee had gone thither on ,friday1 after his burial1 to see where he was laid and had prepared spices4 ,if they went at nightfall at the close of the ,sabbath 7,matt4 #bh3a7 to see the sepulchre1 they could have bought spices after sundown 7,mark #af3a74 ,then 7,mark #af3b7 in the early morning1 they rose and took the spices and went to anoint his body4 ,it was then that they saw the angel 7,matt4 #bh3e74 ,matthew does not say that in the visit of #bh3a the angel appeared to them4 ,he speaks of the earthquake having come1 and the resurrection1 and then resumes4 ,this view gains some support from the use of the same ,greek word in ,luke #bc3ed1 ,and it was the day of the ,preparation 7,friday7 and the ,sabbath drew on 7was dawning74 ,here the meaning seems to be that the ,sabbath dawned at the close of the day4 ,so ,westcott1 ,mc,clellan and others4 ,however it may be about the visit of the women in ,matt4 #bh3a1 ,matthew certainly does not mean to say that ,jesus rose at sunset on the ,sabbath4 ,the whole course of his narrative in the rest of the chapter shows that it was the morning of ,sunday when the angel appeared4 ,while 7,matt4 #bh3aa7 the women went to the disciples1 the soldiers ran to the chief priests 7,matt4 #bh3ac7 and said that the disciples came by night and stole him while they slept1 clearly implying that it was now day4 ,hence ,matthew does not teach that ,jesus rose at sunset1 but the reverse4 ,besides1 ,matthew expressly says that ,jesus rose on the third day1 which would not be true1 if he rose on the ,sabbath4 7d7 ,sabbath day may be used of the day followed by the night1 according to a possible understanding of the language4 ,the ,jews originally counted from evening to evening1 but this custom did not prevail universally4 ,jonah 7#a3ag7 and ,matthew 7#ab3dj7 speak of three days and three nights1 following the day by the night4 ,meyer1 ,morison1 ,clark and others hold this view1 and it is possible1 but certainly not so satisfactory as the view given under 7c74 ,at any rate1 it remains clear that ,matthew agrees with the other ,evangelists in putting the resurrection of ,jesus ,sunday morning4 ,the chief point of difficulty is ,matthew's visit of the women in #bh3a1 whether this was in the evening before simply to view the sepulchre1 or in the morning to anoint the body of the ,saviour4 ,the condensed account of ,matthew leaves this question unsettled1 and there we too shall have to leave it4 ,and this last matter does not affect the question as to the time of the ,lord's resurrection1 but only the number of the visits made by the women4 #ad4 ,the ,length of ,our ,lord's ,stay in the ,tomb ,quite an effort is made in some quarters to show that ,jesus remained in the tomb seventy-two hours1 three full days and nights4 ,the effort seems due to a desire to give full value to the expression three days and to vindicate scripture4 ,but a minutely literal interpretation of this phrase makes on the third day flatly erroneous4 ,a good deal of labor has been expended in the impossible attempt to make three and four equal to each other4 ,there are three sets of expressions used about the matter1 besides the express statements of the ,gospels about the days of the crucifixion and resurrection4 ,let us examine these lines of evidence4 #a4 ,luke settles the matter pointedly by mentioning all the time between the crucifixion and the resurrection 7,luke #bc3ej-bd3c74 ,the burial took place ,friday afternoon just before the ,sabbath drew on 7,luke #bc3ed74 ,the women rested on the ,sabbath 7,saturday7 7,luke #bc3ef71 and went to the sepulchre early ,sunday morning1 the first day of the week 7,luke #bd3a74 ,there is no escaping this piece of chronology4 ,this is all the time there was between the two events4 ,jesus then lay in the tomb from late in the afternoon of ,friday till early ,sunday morning4 ,the other ,gospels agree with this reckoning of the time1 as we have already seen4 #b4 ,but how about the prediction of ,jesus1 repeatedly made1 and once illustrated by the case of ,jonah1 that he would rise after three days8 ,are two nights and a day and two pieces of days three days8 ,let us see4 7a7 ,the well-known custom of the ,jews was to count a part of a day as a whole day of twenty-four hours4 ,hence a part of a day or night would be counted as a whole day1 the term day obviously having two senses1 as night and day1 or day contrasted with night4 ,so then the part of ,friday would count as one day1 ,saturday another1 and the part of ,sunday the third day4 ,this method of reckoning gives no trouble to a ,jew or to modern men1 for that matter4 ,in free vernacular we speak the same way today4 7b7 ,besides1 the phrase on the third day is obliged to mean that the resurrection took place on that day1 for1 if it occurred after the third day1 it would be on the fourth day and not on the third4 ,now it so happens that this term third day is applied seven times to the resurrection of ,christ 7,matt4 #af3ba2 ,matt4 #ag3bc2 ,matt4 #bj3ai2 ,luke #bd3g1 #ba1 #df2 #a ,cor4 #ae3d74 ,these numerous passages of ,scripture1 both prophecy and statement of history1 agree with the record of the fact that ,jesus did rise on the third day4 7,luke #bd3g47 7c7 ,moreover1 the phrase after three days is used by the same writers 7,matthew and ,luke7 in connection with the former one1 the third day1 as meaning the same thing4 ,hence the definite and clear expressions must explain the one that is less so4 ,the chief priests and ,pharisees remember 7,matt4 #bg3fc7 that ,jesus said1 after three days ,i rise again4 ,hence they urge ,pilate to keep a guard over the tomb until the third day 7,matt4 #bg3fd74 ,this is their own interpretation of the ,saviour's words4 ,besides1 in parallel passages in the different ,gospels1 one will have one expression and another the other1 naturally suggesting that they regarded them as equivalent4 7,cf4 ,mark #h3ca with ,matt4 #af3ba1 ,luke #i3bb with ,mark #aj3cd47 ,on the third day cannot mean on the fourth day1 while after three days can be used as meaning on the third day4 7d7 ,matthew #ab3dj is urged as conclusive the other way4 ,but the three days and three nights may be nothing more than a longer way of saying three days1 using day in its long sense4 ,and we have already seen that the ,jews counted any part of this full day 7day and night7 as a whole day 7day and night74 ,hence this passage may mean nothing more than the common after three days above mentioned1 and1 like that expression1 must be interpreted in accordance with the definite term on the third day and with the clear chronological data given by ,luke and the rest4 ,they seemed to be conscious of no discrepancy in these various expressions4 ,most likely they understood them as well as we do at any rate4 ,a ,,list ,,of ,,the ,,parables ,,of ,,jesus ,the ,sign of the ,temple1 ,sect4 #cl4 ,the ,physician1 ,sect4 #ci 7cf4 ,sect4 #dg74 ,the ,three ,parables about the ,new
