But it may not improperly be rather classified as due at least in part to some morbid mental condition such as hysteria. This seems to be indicated not obscurely by the description given, as a spirit of infirmity.

Tlie features of the healing are : (1) The Divine coiiipa>-ioii r\|irL'ssed in our Lord's laying His hand n|inii Hi.- woman as He spoke the word of lio}"- ami driniiaiice ; (2) His profound sense that tills ^nlli ring and weakness, this crouching spirit, were completely foreign to the wUl of God (v.'«) ; and (3) His stedfast refusal to allow any pedantic Sabbath rules to stand in the way of His relief of suftering humanity. Tlie last fact is dominant in the whole narrative, and consequently the other features and the healing are only casually re- ported. T. H. Wright.
IN (^i-, ei's, /card, iirl, vp6t, Sid, Iffu). — The word is prevailinj/ly used in its primary meaning of posi- tion in place, but it frequently follows the Greek 4v in its more or less figurative ramifications of meaning. It is also employed more or less accu- rately to translate various other prepositions which convey a slightly ditt'erent nuance of significance. In the piesent article we shall follow the rendering of the IIV, where the use of the prepositions is more consistent and precise, as well as more con- formed to the modern usage, than in the AV. (For illustration of the wider use of ' in ' common in the Elizabethan period, cf. Hastings' DB, art. 'In').
1. As translation of iv, the word indicates :
i. Local relations: (a) 'in,' 'at,' or 'on,' of simple locality (Mt 2' 'in Bethlehem,' 2'1*' ' in the field,' Jn 4-» ' in this mountain ') ; (b) that with which one is covered or clothed (Mk 12^ ' walk in long robes,' Mt 7'^ 'in sheep's clothing,' 11-' 're- pented in sackcloth and ashes,' Jn 20'- ' two angels m white') ; (c) direct cohesion (15'' 'except it abide in the vine'); (d) position in a writing or book (Mt 21^- 'in the scriptures,' Mk 1- 'in Isaiah,' Lk 20-'- ' in the book of Psalms').
2. Temporal relations— the point or space of time when, or within which, anything occurs (Mt 22^ ' in the resurrection,' 10'° etc. ' in the day of judgment' — the AV has also 'at the day of judgment,' Lk 9*" ' in those days,' Jn 2" 'in tliree days 1 will rai-r it ii|il.
3. Fli/iii.f/irr ./,/.//,-,■.-.»((; relations :
("I liiiliratiii;^ a ;/',."/(: (a) conceived as the sphere when- a i.nlain .quality or state of mind is found (Mt 6=^ 'the Ii"ht that is in thee,' Mk 9=» ' have salt in yourselves,' and similarly Mt 21''^ ' marvellou.s in our eyes,' 5^ ' committed adultery in his heart,' Mk 11=^ ' doubt in hLs heart ') ; or (/3) in reference to whom another stands in a certain attitude (Mt 3" 'in whom I am well pleased,' U'' ' whosoever shall not be offended in me ').
(4) Of the state or roniHf,,,,,. manner or circum- stance, range or sphm- in n-Ziirh n person is or acts: (o) sfiate or conditiun (Mt 4'" 'the people which sat in darkness.' l,k I" .serve him in holi- ness and righteousness," Jn 4-- worship in spirit and truth,' Mt 21-- 'ask in prayer'); (/3) manner (13^ 'in jiarables'); (y) occasion (22'° 'ensnare him in talk,' Lk 23" 'if they do this in the green tree,' 24« 'in the breaking of bya.D ; (3) sur- rounding accompaniment (Ml ii-' ' Solomon in all his glory,' 16^ 'coming in hi- kingdom,' fG-'^'in the glory of his Father') ; (fl r.an,i;r or sphere (Jn 8-' ' die in your sins,' Mk 1'° ' believe in the gospel ' will also belong to this head, unless we admit that this is an exceptional use of Tn<rTcvu with if. The LXX almost invariably construes the verb with the dative, the NT writers M-itli ei's or irl. Pro- balily therefore the verb is used here absolutely, and fV Tu ci'avyeXiV marks the sphere within which faith is to be exerci.sed. The only other in.stance

(c) Of the means or instrument, or personal agency employed, where a simple dative niijiht have been used instead of iv (Mt 3" ' I baptize you with [RVm ' in'] water' ; cf. Lk 3"', where tlie simple dative is used ; Mk 9^^ ' By [RViii ■ In 'J Ihr prince of the devils casteth he out devils'; in other cases 'with' is used as translation, as I,k 22^" 'shall we smite with (ev) the sword V ').
