proper word for grape-gathering.—Ver. 45. θησαυροῦ τῆς καρδίας: either, the treasure which is in the heart, or the treasure which the heart is (Hahn). In either case the sense is: as is the heart, so is the utterance.
Ver. 46, introducing the epilogue, rather than winding up the previous train of thought, answers to Mt. vii. 21-23 ; here direct address (2nd person), there didactic (3rd person) ; here a pointed question, and paratactic structure as of an orator, in lively manner, applying his sermon, there a general statement as to what is necessary to admission into the Kingdom of Ἠεανεπ-- οὐ was 6 λέγων, etc.
Vv. 47-49. The epilogue (Mt. vii. 24-27).—Ver. πᾶς 6 ἐρχόμενος, είο.: the style of address here corre- sponds to the idea of the discourse suggested by Lk.’s presentation through-
. out, the historical Sermon on the Mount converted into an ideal sermon in a church = every one that cometh to me by becoming a Christian, and heareth my words generally, not these words in particular. — Ver. 48. ἔσκαψε καὶ ἐβάθυνε, dug, and kept deepening. A Hebraism, say Grotius and others = dug deeply. But Raphel produces an example from Xenophon of the same construction : σαφηνίζει τε καὶ ἀληθεύει for ἀληθῶς σαφηνίζει (Occonomict, cap. ΧΧ.).---πλημ- μύρης (from πίµπλημι, ἅπ. λεγ. in Ν,Τ.), a flood, ‘‘the sudden rush of a spate,”

The foolish builder did not make a mistake in choosing a foundation. His folly lay in not thinking of a founda- tion, but building at haphazard on the surface. Vide notes on Mt. for the characteristics of the two builders.—ré ῥῆγμα (πτῶσις in Mt.), the collapse, here only in N. T. This noun is used to answer to the verb προσέρρηξεν.
The impression produced by the fore- going study is that Lk’s version of the Sermon on the Mount, while faithfully reproducing at least a part of our Lord’s teaching on the hill, gives us that teach- ing, not in its original setting, but readapted so as to serve the practical purposes of Christian instruction, either by Lk. or by some one before him.

The Centurion of Capernaum (Mt. viii. 5-13).—Ver. 1. εἰς τὰς ἀκοὰς, into the ears = eis τὰ Ora in Sept. (Gen. xx. 8, 1. 4, Ex. x. 2). To show that it is not a Hebraism, Kypke cites from Dion. Hal.: eis τὴν ἁπάντων τῶν παρόντων ἀκοὴν.---εἴσῆλθεν, entered, not returned to, Capernaum.—Ver. 2. ὃς ἦν αὐτῷ ἔντιμος, who was dear to him ; though a slave, indicating that he
