[2050] [R.V., "that which remained over of the broken pieces."]

[2051] Matt. xv. 37, 38.

[2052] spurde. That the spurs was of large size would appear from Acts ix. 25, where this word is again used. Kphino is the word commonly used by the LXX. for basket; that it was in common use among the Jews seems proved by the well-known line in Juvenal, Sat. iii. 14. "Judæis, quorum cophinus fænumque suppellex." See also Sat. vi. 541, 542. Tr.

[2053] kphinoi.

[2059] Chap. xvi. 1-4.

[2060] Mark viii. 12.

[2074] Matt. xiv. 12.

[2075] [Some mss. insert philotima ka, "from ambition and want of faith." It is me. So R.V. margin, "that I the Son of Man am," as in the parallel passages.--R.]

[2076] [The A.V. is ungrammatical; "whom" is simply a transfer of the Greek accusative (with the infinitive in the passage) into the English finite clause.--R.]

[2094] [Chrysostom reads ka g d, probably from verse 18, as none of our authorities have this fuller form.--R.]

[2095] Matt. xvi. 19. [The text is peculiar in omitting t basilea. The translator has here rendered tn orann, "the heavens;" but not in all similar instances. The English versions generally disregard the plural form.--R.]
