to the heads of the temple watches (Levites) who kept order during the feast. They would be necessary to the carrying out of Judas’ plan. The Levites had to perform garrison duty for the temple (vide Numbers viii. 24, 25). In Acts iv. 2 weread of one στρατηγὸςτ. ἵ., who was doubtless the head of the whole body of temple police.—rd πῶς: a second reference to the perplexing how.—Ver. 5. ἐχάρησαν, they were glad, emphatically; and how piously they would remark on the providential character of this unexpected means of getting out of the difficulty as to the πῶς !—Ver. 6. ἐξωμολόγησε, he agreed, spopondit, for which the Greeks used the simple verb, The active of ἐξομ. occurs here only in Ν.Τ.---ἅτερ ὄχλον, without a crowd, the thing above all to be avoided. ἅτερ is a poetic word in Greek authors ; here and in ver. 35 only in N.T.

Weiss (Meyer)) render, approached (ἐπλησίασε, Euthy.), hold- ing that Lk. with John makes Jesus antici- pate the feast by a day, so finding here one ofthe points in which the third Gospel is
in touch with the fourth.—Ver. 8. ἀπέσ- τειλε: in Lk. Jesus takes the initiative; in Mt. and Mk. the disciples introduce the subject. Various reasons have been suggested for this change. Lk. simply states the fact as it was (Schanz). He thought it unsuitable that Jesus should seem to need reminding (Meyer, seventh edition). The change of day, from 14th to 13th Nisan, required Jesus to take the initiative (J. Weiss, Meyer, eighth edi- tion).—Nérpov καὶ Ἰ.: the two disciples sent out not named in parallels.—Ver. 11. οἰκοδεσπότῃ τῆς οἰκίας: a pleo- nasm = the house-master of the house. Bornemann cites from Greek authors similar redundancies, οἰκοφύλαξ δομῶν, αἰπόλια αἰγῶν, αἰπόλος αἰγῶν, συβόσια συῶν, and from Sept., τὰ βουκόλια τῶν βοῶν (Deut. vii. 13). In the remainder of ver. 11 and in vv. 12, 13 Lk. follows Mk. closely.
Vv. 14-18. Prelude to the Lord’s. Supper (Mt. xxvi. 20, Mk, xiv. 17).— Ver. 14. οἱ ἀπόστολοι, the apostles, for disciples in parallels. This designation for the Twelve, the initiative ascribed to Jesus (ver. 8), and the desire of Jesus spoken of in next ver. all fit into each other and indicate a wish on the part οί the evangelist to invest what he here
