that the man was a _ self-complacent Pharisee. I am glad to find Hahn decidedly repudiating this view (vide notes on Mt. and Mk.). Vide Mt.
Vv. 24-30. Ensuing conversation (Mt. xix. 23-30, Mk. x. 23-31).—Ver. 24. εἰσπορεύονται: present, not future, as in parallels, indicating not what will happen but what is apt to happen from the nature of riches.—Ver. 25. τρήµατος βελόνης: each evangelist has his own expression here.—tpjjpa from τιτράω, τίτρηµι (or τράω), to pierce, bore through; hence τρανής, penetrating, clear; βελόνη, the point of a spear.— Ver. 26. ot ἀκούσαντες, those hearing, a quite general reference to the company present. In Mt. and Mk. the words are addressed to the disciples.—xat τίς 8. σ.: as in Mk., vide notes there.—Ver. 27. τὰ ἀθύνατα, etc. Mk. and Mt. have first a particular then a general state- ment. Lk. gives the general truth only: the impossibles for men possible for God.
—Ver. 28. Peter’s remark about leaving all, as in Mk., without the question, what shall we have? appended to it in Mt.—Ver. 29. Ὑυναῖκα: as in xiv. 26, not in parallels.—yovets: parents, for father and mother in parallels ; the latter
more impressive.—Ver. 30, πολλαπλα- σίονα, as in Mt. Mk. has the more definite ἑκατονταπλασίονα. The read-
ing ἑπταπλασίονα (D, W.H., margin), though little supported, has intrinsic pro- bability as toning down an apparent exaggeration (hundred fold! say seven fold). Cf. ἑπτάκις in xvii. 4.
Vv. 31-34. Third prediction of the Passion (Mt. xx. 17-19, Mk. x. 32-34). Vide notes on the account in Mk., which is exceptionally _realistic.—Ver. 31. τελεσθήσεται, shall be fulfilled. With this verb is to be connected τῷ vig τ. G. (not with yeypappéva). The sense is not “shall be fulfilled by the Son of Man”. So Bornemann (Scholia), “a dei filio perficientur, i.¢., satisfiet pro:
