This, with the context, illustrates the notion of a personal tie established by baptism. St Paul is combating the charge of establishing a sect of his own. 82 Luke xi. 1. 83 Luke v. 33. 84 John iii. 25. 85 John i. 43. 86 John i. 45; xxi. 2. 87 τὸν ἀπὸ Ναζαρέτ. John i. 46. 88 A fragment of a very ancient account of the Canon of the N. Test. has been preserved by Muratori. I will quote the translation of it from Professor Westcott’s work. (Prof. Westcott, _Gospel of St John_, p. xxxv.) “The fourth Gospel [was written by] John, one of the disciples (_i.e._ Apostles). When his fellow-disciples and bishops urgently pressed (_cohortantibus_) him, he said, ‘Fast with me [from] to-day, for three days, and let us tell one another any revelation which may be made to us, either for or against [the plan of writing] (_quid cuique fuerit revelatum alterutrum_)’. On the same night it was revealed to Andrew, one of the Apostles, that John should relate all in his own name, and that all should review [his writing].” If we accept this authority, John and Andrew were together in their age as they had been in their youth. Philip also was at Hierapolis not very far off. 89 John vi. 8. _ 90 I.e._ the Evangelists Matthew, Mark, and Luke. 91 John xii. _vv._ 20-22. 92 John xiv. 9. 93 Bartholomew = son of Tolmai, so that Nathanael son of Tolmai or (as Dr Edersheim writes it) of Temalgon, would be the full name. 94 Tacitus speaking of Lugdunum and Vienna on opposite sides of the Rhone, tells us that they regarded each other with the animosity which “serves as a link between those whom only a river separates” (“unde aemulatio et invidia et uno amne discretis connexum odium”). Tac. _Hist._ i. c. 65. St Matthew speaks of that “which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.” This prophecy, in the words given, is not found in our canonical books. The Evangelist is supposed to refer to Is. xi. 1. The Hebrew word for a Branch, there used, is _Natsar_. 95 John i. 48, 49.
