him. tq θυρωρῷ, female doorkeepers appear 2 Sam. iv. 6, Acts. xil. 13, and see Wetstein.—Ver. 17. Naturally he concluded from John’s introducing him that Peter was also a disciple, and asa mere innocent and purposeless remark says: Μὴ καὶ ob... τούτου; ‘Are you also one of this man’s disciples?” He says, οὐκ eipt, ‘ I am not ”’.—Ver. 18. Εἱστήκεισαν . . . θερµαινόµενο. The household servants and the Sanhedrim servitors had made a fire in the open court of the house and were standing round it warming themselves. Peter, unabashed by his lie, joined himself to this group and stood in the light of the fire. Cf. Lk. xxii. 56, πρὸς τὸ ods. Jerusalem, lying 2500 feet above sea- level, is cold at night in spring.—Ver. 19. Ὁ οὖν ἀρχιερεὺς ἠρώτησε . . . “The high priest then interrogated Jesus about His disciples and about His teaching,”’ apparently wishing to bring out on what terms He made disciples, whether as a simple Rabbi or as Messiah. But Jesus answered: ᾿Ἐγὼ παρρησίᾳ ἐλάλησα . . . οὐδέν. The high priest’s question was useless. Jesus had nothing to tell which He had not publicly and fre- quently proclaimed. Similarly Socrates replied to his judges (Plato, Afol., 33), “If any one says that he has ever learned or heard anything from me in private which the wo-ld has not heard,
be assured he says what is not true”. mappynota ‘ without reserve,” riuckhalts- los, Holtzmann. τῷ κόσµῳ, “to every- body,” to all who cared to hear; cf. Socrates’ δηµοσίᾳ. ‘I always taught in synagogue and in the temple”; the article dropped as we drop it in the phrase ‘‘in church”; ‘ where,” ζ.6., in both synagogue and temple, πάντες ‘‘all the Jews assemble”.—Ver. 21. ‘‘ Why do you interrogate me? Ask those who have heard, what I said to them.” Similarly Socrates appeals to his dis- ciples. The οὗτοι might be construed as if Jesus looked towards some who were present.—Ver, 22. Tatra ... ἄρχιερεῖ; ῥάπισμα. The older meaning of ῥαπίζειν was “to strike with arod”’ sc. ῥαβθίζειν ; but in later Greek it meant “to give a blow on the cheek with the open hand”’. This is put beyond doubt by Field, Otium Norv., p. 71; cf. Rutherford’s New Phryn., Ῥ. 257. R.V. marg. ‘with a rod”? is not an improvement on R.V. text.—Ver. 23. The calmness and rea- sonableness of Jesus’ retort to this blow impressed it on the memory of John, whose own blood would boil when he saw his Master struck by a servant.— Ver. 24. As nothing was to be gained by continuing the examination, Jesus is handed on to Caiaphas, ᾽Απέστειλεν . . , ἀρχιερέα.
