with them; the “ forsaking ” of Luke xviii. 28-30 was not final (in the parl. Matt. xix. 28 f., Mark x. 28 ff., γυνὴ does not appear); according to tradition, John however was celibate. ‘The brothers of the Lord” were also orthodox Jews in this respect (on their relationship to Jesus, see Lt., Essay in Comm. on Gala- tians); indeed, they came near to found- ing a kind of Christian dynasty in Jerus. ** And Cephas,” separately mentioned as the most eminent instance of the married Christian missionary. The association of the ἀδελφοὶ +r. Kup. with the ἀπόσ- πολοι does not prove that they were counted amongst these, or bore this title of office: while distinguished from the latter by their specific name (cf. Gal. i. το), they are linked with them as per- sons of like eminence; see the posi- tion of James in Acts.—(c) The third ἐξουσία, μὴ ἐργάζεσθαι, Paul and his old comrade Barnabas had laid aside. Barn. had stripped himself of property at Jerus. in the early days (Acts iv. 36 f.); and he and P. together, in the pioneer mission of Acts xiii. f., worked their way as handi- craftsmen. Now separated, they both continued this practice, which was ex- ceptional—pévos ἐγὼ κ. Βαρνάβας. The allusion implies wide-spread knowledge of the career of Barn., which ends for us at Acts xv. 39. Notwithstanding the ππαροξνσμὸς in which they parted, the two great missionaries remained in friendly alliance; cf. Paul’s reff. to Mark, Bar- nabas’ cousin, in Col. iv. 1Ο, 2 Tim. iv. 11. For ἐργάζομαι, as denoting manual labour, see parls.; a cl. usage, like that of Eng. workmen. This third ἐξονσία was the negative side of the first (cf. 1 Thess. ii. 9, also 2 Cor. xi. 9, and ἀδά- πτανον θήσω of 18 below).—The three
rights in fact amount to the one which Paul argues for in the sequel: he might justly have imposed his personal sup- port, and that in the more expensive character of a married man, upon the Christian communities for which he laboured, thus sparing himself the dis- advantages and hardships of manual toil.
§ 28. THE CLaIm oF MINISTERS TO PuBLic MAINTENANCE, ix. 7-15a. Paul asserts his right to live at the charge of the Christian community, in order to show the Cor. how he has waived this prerogative (156, etc.). But before doing this, he will further vindicate the right; for it was sure to be disputed, and his renunciation might be used to the dis- advantage of other servants of Christ. He therefore formally establishes the claim: (a) on grounds of natural analogy (7); (ϐ) by proof from Scripture (8-10) ; (c) by the intrinsic justice of the case (11); (d) by comparison with Ο.Τ. prac- tice (13); finally (e) by ref. to the express commandment of the Lord (14). In νετ. 12 he indicates, by the way, that “others ” of inferior standing are mak- ing themselves chargeable on the Cor. Church.
