υἱὸς τοῦ © ἀνθρώπου οὐκ ἦλθε διακονηθῆναι, ἀλλὰ διακονῆσαι, καὶ δοῦναι τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ λύτρον ἀντὶ πολλῶν.”
46. Καὶ ἔρχονται eis Ἱεριχώ καὶ ἐκπορευομένου αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ Ἱεριχώ, καὶ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὄχλου ἱκανοῦ, υἱὸς ὅ Τιµαίου Βαρτίμαιος ὁ τυφλὸς ἐκάθητο παρὰ τὴν ὁδὸν προσαιτῶν.» 47. καὶ ἀκούσας ὅτι "Ingots 6 Ναζωραῖός ὃ ἐστιν, ἤρξατο κράζειν καὶ λέγειν, “‘O vids?

honorem habent imperandi” (Grotius). Some, ¢.g., Palairet, regard δοκοῦντες as redundant, and take the phrase in Mk. as = Mt.’s of ἄρχοντες. Kypke resolves it into ot ἐκ δόγµατός τινος ἄρχοντες = “qui constituti sunt ut imperent ”’.— Ver. 43. éorw (W.H.), is; the “is” not of actual fact, but of the ideal state of things.—Ver. 45.

Mk. knows the name, and: gives both name, Barti- maeus, and interpretation, son οἱ Timaeus.—Ver. 47. υἱὲ Δαβίδ: this in all three narratives, the popular name for Messiah.—Ver. 49. φωνήσατε, φωνοῦσι, φωνεῖ: no attempt to avoid monotony out of regard to style. It is the appro- priate word all through, to call in a loud voice, audible at a distance, in the open air (vide ix. 35).--θάρσει, ἔγειρε, φωνεῖ, courage, rise, He calls you; pithy, no superfluous words, just how they would speak.—Ver. 50.
