it will mean a change of mind, and dis- use of my name.—Ver. 40. The counter- part truth to that in Mt. x. 30._ Both truths, and easily harmonised. _ It is in both cases a question of tendency; a little sympathy inclines to grow to more, so also with a lack of sympathy. Vide on Mt. xii. 30.—Ver. 41 = Mt. x. 42, but a later secondary form of the saying: ποτήριον ὕδατος for π. ψυχροῦ, and ὅτι Χριστοῦ ἐστέ instead of εἰς ov. μαθητοῦ.
Vv. 42-48. After the episode of the exorcist the narrative returns to the dis- course broken off at ver. 38. From receiving little children and all they re- present, Jesus passes to speak of the sin of causing them to stumble.—Ver. 42. καλόν, etc. ; well for him ; rather = better. Each evangelist has his own word here : Mt. συμφέρει, Lk. (xvii. 2) λυσιτελεῖ; but Mk., according to the best attested

reading, has the strong phrase μύλος ὀνικὸς in common with Mt. He is con- tent, however, with the expression “in the sea,’’ instead of Mt.’s “in the deep part of the sea,” the faithful reproduction, probably, of what Jesus actually said.— Ver. 43. The offender of the little ones is still more an offender against himself, hence the discourse by an easy transition passes to counsels against such folly. In Mk.’s version these are given in a most par- ticular way, hand, foot and eye being each used separately to illustrate the common admonition. In Mt. hand and foot are combined. In the third illustration εἰς τὴν ζωὴν is replaced by εἰς τ. βασιλείαν τ.θ. The refrain: ‘ where the worm, etc.,” is repeated in T. R. with solemn effect after each example, but the best MSS. have it only after the third, vx 44, 46 being thus omitted (R. V.).
