some (Weizsacker, Holtzmann, Feine, 1. Weiss) we cut the story into two, an original part spoken by Jesus and an addition by a later hand, it will have two morals, the one just indicated, and another connecting eternal perdition with the neglect of the law and prophets by a worldly unbelieving Judaism, and eternal salvation with the pious observance of the law by the poor members of the Jewish-Christian Church. On this view vide J. Weiss in Meyer.
Ver. 19. ἄνθρωπος δὲ, etc.: either there was a Certain rich man, or acertain man was rich, or there was a certain man—vich, this the first fact about him. —xal introduces the second, instead of ὃς, after the Hebrew manner.—wopovpav καὶ βύσσον: his clothing of the costliest : “‘ purple without, Egyptian byssus under- neath” (Farrar in C. G. Τ.).--λαμπρῶς (from Adparw), splendidly, characterising his style of living ; life a daily feast ; here only in N.T.—Ver. 20. Λάζαρος gives the impression of a story from real life, but the name for the poor man is in- troduced for convenience in telling the tale. He has to be referred to in the sequel (ver. 24). Χο symbolic meaning should be attached to the name.—zpés τὸν πυλῶνα αὐτοῦ: Lazarus is brought into relation with the rich man. This favours the view that the moral is the folly of neglecting beneficence. If the story were meant to illustrate merely the reversals of lot, why not describe Lazarus’ situation in this world without reference to the rich man? 15 he placed at his ‘door s:mply that he may know him in the next world ?—eiAkwpeévos : covered with ulcers, therefore needing to be carried to the rich man’s gate; supposed to be a leper, hence the words
