FOOTNOTES
1 This, like most other utterances of Jesus, found in this book but
not in the Gospels, is also found in the early patristic
literature.—ED.
2 _Ὄχλος τοῦ ἀγροῦ_, seemingly the translation of the Hebrew _עם הארץ_
used for those unlearned in the Law; this term seems to have passed
through much the same history as “pagan.”—ED.
3 Each of the Jewish rabbis used to sum up his teaching in some
pregnant sentence. These are given in the Talmudic treatise, _The
Ethics of the Fathers_.—ED.
