Section XXXII.

[1] ^21832183    Matt. xxi. 12a; John ii. 14a.And when Jesus entered Jerusalem, he went up to the temple of God, and found [2] there oxen and sheep and doves.  ^21842184    Matt. xxi. 12b.And when he beheld those that sold and those that bought, and the money-changers sitting, ^21852185    John ii. 14b.he made for himself a scourge of rope, and drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep and the oxen, and the money-changers; ^21862186    Matt. xxi. 12c.and he threw down their money, and upset their tables, and the seats of [3] them that sold the doves; ^21872187    Matt. xxi. 13.and he was teaching, and saying unto them, Is it not written, My house is a house of prayer for all peoples? and ye have made it a den [4] for robbers.  ^21882188    John ii. 16.And he said unto those that sold the doves, Take this hence, and [5] make not my Father’s house a house of merchandise.  ^21892189    Mark xi. 16.And he suffered not any [6] one to carry vessels inside the temple.  ^21902190    John ii. 17.And his disciples remembered the scripture, [7] The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up.  ^21912191    John ii. 18.The Jews answered and said unto him, [8] What sign hast thou shewn us, that thou doest this?  ^21922192    John ii. 19.Jesus answered and said unto [9] them, Destroy this temple, and I shall raise it in three days.  ^21932193    John ii. 20.The Jews said unto him, This temple was built in forty-six years, and wilt thou raise it in three days?  [10] ^21942194    John ii. 21.But he spake unto them of the temple of his body, that when^21952195    Or, if. they destroyed it, he [11] [Arabic, p. 122] would raise it in three days.  ^21962196    John ii. 22.When therefore he rose from among the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this; and they believed the scriptures, and the word that Jesus spake.

[12] ^21972197    Mark xii. 41.And when Jesus sat down over against the treasury, he observed how the multitudes were casting their offerings into the treasury:  and many rich men were [13, 14] throwing in much.  ^21982198    Mark xii. 42a.And there came a poor widow, and cast in two mites.  ^21992199    Luke xxi. 3.And Jesus called his disciples, and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, This poor [15] widow cast into the treasury more than all the people:  ^22002200    Mark xii. 44a.and all of these cast into the place of the offering of God^22012201    Lit. house of the offering of God, as in the ms. described by Gildemeister (at Luke xxi. 4); but it is simply a reproduction of the phrase used in the Peshitta at Luke xxi. 3.  The parallel passages are a good deal fused together. of the superfluity of their wealth; while this woman of her want threw in all that she possessed.

[16] ^22022202    Luke xviii. 9.And he spake unto them this parable, concerning people who trusted in themselves [17] that they are righteous, and despised every man:  ^22032203    Luke xviii. 10.Two men went up to the [18] temple to pray; one of them a Pharisee, and the other a publican.  ^22042204    Luke xviii. 11.And the Pharisee stood apart,^22052205    Lit. between him and himself. and prayed thus, O Lord, I thank thee, since I am not like the rest of men, the unjust, the profligate, the extortioners, or even like this publican; 93[19] ^22062206    Luke xviii. 12.but I fast two days a week, and tithe all my possessions.^22072207    Or, gains.  ^22082208    Luke xviii. 13.And the publican was [20] standing at a distance, and he would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but was [21] beating upon his breast, and saying, O Lord, have mercy on me, me the sinner.  ^22092209    Luke xviii. 14.I say unto you, that this man went down justified to his house more than the Pharisee.  Every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and every one that abaseth himself shall be exalted.

[22] [Arabic, p. 123] ^22102210    Mark xi. 19a; Matt. xxi. 17.And when eventide was come, he left all the people, and went outside the [23] city to Bethany, he and his twelve, and he remained there.  ^22112211    Luke ix. 11.And all the people, because they knew the place, came to him, and he received them; and them that [24] had need of healing he healed.  ^22122212    Mark xi. 12.And on the morning of the next day, when he returned [25] to the city from Bethany, he hungered.  ^22132213    Mark xi. 13.And he saw a^22142214    Lit. one (Syriac). fig tree at a distance on the beaten highway, having on it leaves.  And he came unto it, expecting to find something on it; and when he came, he found nothing on it but the leaves—it^22152215    Lit. and it. was not [26] the season of figs—^22162216    Mark xi. 14.and he said unto it, Henceforward for ever let no man eat fruit of thee. And his disciples heard.

[27] ^22172217    Mark xi. 15a; John iii. 1.And they came to Jerusalem.  And there was there a man of the Pharisees, [28] named Nicodemus, ruler of the Jews.  ^22182218    John iii. 2.This man came unto Jesus by night, and said unto him, My Master, we know that thou hast been sent from God as a teacher; and no man can do these signs that thou doest, except him whom God is [29] with.  ^22192219    John iii. 3.Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, If a man [30] be not born a second time, he cannot see the kingdom of God.  ^22202220    John iii. 4.Nicodemus said unto him, How can a man who is old be born? can he, think you, return again to [31] his mother’s womb a second time, to enter and be born?  ^22212221    John iii. 5.Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, If a man be not born of water and the Spirit, [32] he cannot enter the kingdom of God.  ^22222222    John iii. 6.For he that is born of flesh is flesh; and he that [33] is born of Spirit is spirit.  ^22232223    John iii. 7.Wonder not that I said unto thee that ye must be born a [34] [Arabic, p. 124] second time.  ^22242224    John iii. 8.The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest its voice, but thou knowest not from what place it cometh, nor whither it goeth:  so [35] is every man that is born of the Spirit.  ^22252225    John iii. 9.Nicodemus answered and said unto him, [36] How can that be?  ^22262226    John iii. 10.Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou teaching^22272227    Or the teacher of. Israel, [37] and yet knowest not these things?  ^22282228    John iii. 11.Verily, verily, I say unto thee, What we know [38] we say, and what we have seen we witness:  and ye receive not our witness.  ^22292229    John iii. 12.If I said unto you what is on earth, and ye believed not, how then, if I say unto you [39] what is in heaven, will ye believe?  ^22302230    John iii. 13.And no man hath ascended up into heaven, except him that descended from heaven, the Son of man, which is in heaven.  [40] ^22312231    John iii. 14.And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so is the Son of man to be [41] lifted up; ^22322232    John iii. 15.so that every man who may believe in him may not perish, but have [42] eternal life.  ^22332233    John iii. 16.God so loved the world, that^22342234    The Arabic particle means in order that.  Perhaps it is a clerical error for so that; or it may be meant to represent the Syriac. he should give his only Son; and so every one that believeth on him should not perish, but should have eternal life.  [43] ^22352235    John iii. 17.God sent not his Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world might [44] be saved by his hand.  ^22362236    John iii. 18.He that believeth in him shall not be judged:  but he that believeth not is condemned beforehand, because he hath not believed in the name [45] of the only Son, the Son of God.^22372237    The translator has followed too closely the order of words in his Syriac original, which agrees with the Text. Rec.  ^22382238    John iii. 19.This is the judgement, that the light came into the world, and men loved the darkness more than the light; because their deeds [46] were evil.  ^22392239    John iii. 20.Whosoever doeth evil deeds hateth the light, and cometh not to the [47] light, lest his deeds be reproved.  ^22402240    John iii. 21.But he that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be known, that they have been done in God.
