the Gospel of Peter, 21-24, as Hilgenfeld noted. But Joseph of Arimathzea and Nicodemus were both Jews and members of the Council.—rot ξύλον, cf. v. 30, x. 39. Jiingst, without any ground, as Hilgenfeld remarks, refers ver. 29 partly on account of this expression to a reviser, and so 44-37. On ξύλον, significant here and in Gal, iii. 13, see Ramsay, Expositor, December, 1898.—eis µν., cf. 1 Cor. xv. 4, the death followed by the burial, and so the reality of the death, “‘é« vexpav,” was vouched for.
Ver. 31. ὤφθη, see Milligan’s note on the word, Resurrection of our Lord, p. 265; Witness of the Epistles (1892), pp. 369, 377, 386; and Beyschlag, Leben Fesu, i., Ῥ. 434 (second edition), cf. Luke xxiv. 34, I Cor. xv. 5 ff.—émi: with accusative of duration of time, cf. xvi. 18, XVill. 20, xix. 8, 10, 34, xxvii. 20, cf.

Ver. 33. ἐκπεπλήρωκε: “hath ful- filled to the utmost,” cf. 3 Macc. i. 2, 22, Polyb., i., 67, 1, τὰς ἐπαγγελίας ἐκπ.--- τοῖς τέκνοις αὐτῶν ἡμῖν, see critical ποίες.--ἀναστήσας: ‘in that he raised up Jesus,” Κ.Υ. ; ‘‘in that he hath raised up Jesus again,” A.V.
