the recent feeding of the multitude. One might rather have expected a re- ference to the stilling of the storm in crossing to Decapolis. But that seems to have appeared a small matter com- pared with walking on the sea. The evangelist seems anxious to show how much the Twelve needed the instruction to which in the sequel Jesus gives Him- self more and more.
Vv. 53-56. The landing (Mt. xiv. 34- 36).—Ver. 53. προσωρµίσθησαν (πρὸς ὁρμίζω from ὅρμος), they came to anchor, or landed on the beach; here only in N. T.—Ver. 55. ἐπὶ τοῖς κραββάτοις, upon their beds, vide ii. 4---περιφέρειν, to carry about from place to place. If they did not find Jesus at one place, they were not discouraged, but carried their sick to another place where He was likely tobe. Their energy, not less than the word κραββάτοις, recalls the story in ii. 1-12.- ὅπου ἤκουον ὅτι ἔστιν, not : wherever He ννας-- ὅπου ἦν, but: wher- ever they were told He was; ἐστιν, present, from the point of view of those who gave the information in indirect discourse. Vide on this, Burton, M. and T., § 351-—Ver. 56. κώµας, πόλεις, ἀγρούς : point probably to awider sphere of activity than the plain of Gennesaret. This was practically the close of the healing ministry, in which the expecta- tion and faith of the people were wound up to the highest pitch.

WASHING OF HAnps. SYROPHENICIAN Woman. A _ DEar- MuTE HEALED.—VV. 1-23. Concerning ceremonial ablutions (Mt. xv. 1-20).— Ver. 1. καὶ connects what follows very loosely with what goes before: not tem- poral sequence but contrast between phenomenal popularity and hostility οι the religious leaders of the people, in the view of the evangelist.—rwvés τῶν γραμ., etc., some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem, ϱ/. iii. 22, and remarks there.—Ver. 2. καὶ ἰδόντες: the sen- tence beginning with these words pro- perly runs on to the end of ver. 5, but the construction of so long a sentence overtaxes the grammatical skill of the writer, so it is broken off unfinished after the long explanatory clause about Jewish customs, vv. 3-4—a kind of parenthesis—and a new sentence begun at ver. 5=and seeing, etc. (for the Pharisees, etc.), and the Pharisees and scribes ask; instead of: they ask, etc. The sense plain enough, though gram- mar crude.—rtiwas τ. µαθ., some of the disciples, not all. When? On_ their evangelistic tour? (Weiss ; Holtz., H. C.) We have here, as in i. 24, a case of attraction=seeing some that they eat (ὅτι ἐσθίουσι, W.H.), for seeing that some eat (ὅτι tivés ἐσ.).---ἀνίπτοις, unwashed, added to explain for Gentile readers the technical term «owwats=pro- fane (cf.
