‘And again, a little further on: Bring me, saith the Lord, a table and bread. And there follows immediately: He took the bread, and blessed, and brake, and gave to James the Just, and said to him, My brother, eat thy bread, inasmuch as the Son of Man hath risen from them that sleep.’
23. (R. 1383; Ap. 2) Jerome, adv. Pelag. iii. 2, ‘In evangelio iuxta Hebreos . .. narrat his- toria: Ecce mater Domini et fratres eius dicebant ei: loannes Baptista baptizat in remissionem pec- catorum ; eamus et baptizemur aheo. Dixit autem eis: Quid peccavi, ut vadam et baptizer ab eo? nisi forte hoc ipsum, quod dixi, ignorantia est’: ‘In the Gospel according to the Hebrews .. . is the following story: Behold, the Lord’s mother and his brethren were saying to him: John the Baptist baptizes unto the remission of sins; let us go and be baptized by him. But he said unto them: What sin have I done, that I should go and be

*24, (R. 147; Ap. 7) Jerome, im Ezech. 18’, ‘In evangelio quod iuxta Hebraeos Nazarezi legere consueverunt inter maxima ponitur crimina, qui fratris sui spiritum contristaverit’: ‘In the Gospel which the Nazarenes are accustomed to read, that according to the Hebrews, there is put among the greatest crimes, he who shall have grieved the spirit of his brother.’
*25, (R. 148; Ap. 8) Jerome, in Hphes. 5°, ‘In Hebraico quoque evangelio legimus Dominum ad discipulos loquentem: Et numquam, inquit, leti sitis, nisi quum fratrem vestrum videritis in cari- tate’: ‘In the Hebrew Gospel, too, we read of the Lord saying to the disciples, And never, said he, rejoice, except when you have looked upon your brother in love.’
