a superstitious dread of Christ’s preter- natural power.—Ver. 45. ἐλθὼν εὐθὺς “προσελθὼν = arrived on the spot he without delay approaches Jesus; no hesitation, promptly and adroitly done.— Ραββί: without Mt.’s χαῖρε, and only once spoken (twice in T.R.), the fervour of false love finding expression in the kiss (κατεφίλησεν, vide notes on Mt.) rather than in words.
Vv. 47-52. Attempt at rescue.—Ver. 47. εἷς τ. παρ., one of those standing by, ἐ.ε., one of the three, Peter according to the fourth gospel (xviii. το).-- τὴν µάχ., the sword = his sword, as if each disciple was armed; vide on Mt.— ὠτάριον ὠτίον, T.R., diminutive of οὓς; the use of diminutives for the mem- bers of the body was common in popular speech. Wide Lobeck, Phryn., p. 211.— Ver. 48. On this and the following verse vide notes on Mt.—Ver. 49. tva πληρωθῶσιν at γ.: this may be a case of iva with the subjunctive used as an im- perative = let the Scriptures be fulfilled. Cf. 2 Cor. viii. 7, last clause, and consult Winer, § xliii. 5d.— Ver. 5ο. καὶ ἀφέντες, etc., and deserting Him fled all (πάντες last, vide above): the nine with the three, the three not less than the nine—all alike panic-stricken.—Ver. 51 introduces a little anecdote peculiar

The statement that on being laid hold of he cast off the garment favours the latter alternative.—Ver. 52. Ὑγυμνὸς ἔφ., fled naked, in the literal sense, whereon Bengel remarks: ‘‘on a night not with- out a moon; fear conquers shame in great danger”. (A few years ago a young wife chased a thief, who had been stealing her wedding presents, through the streets of Glasgow, in the early hours of the morning, in her night-gown ; not without success. Her husband modestly stayed behind to put on his clothes.)\—Who was this young man? Mk. the evangelist, say many, arguing: the story was of no interest to any one but the hero of it, therefore the hero was the teller of the tale. A good argument, unless a motive can be assigned for the insertion of the narrative other than
