F. C. Burkitt in P. S. B. A., 1901, p. 78. Prof. Burkitt thinks the Homily was probably written by Isaac of Antioch.

Footnote 65: Prof. Harnack (_op. cit._ pp. 26, 27) gives a long table of supposed quotations from the Fourth Gospel which he thinks are to be found in our text. There is not one of these which might not equally well be taken from the Synoptics until we come to our Fourth Document with two exceptions. One of these is given above; the other is on p. 11 (First Document) where Jesus says to His disciples: “Wherefore I said to you in the Beginning that you are not of the Cosmos. I also am not of it.” This Harnack wishes to identify with the words of John xvii. 16: “They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.” The words “in the Beginning” frequently used by our author seem to us to show that the quotation must be referred to an entirely different time and place from those of the Gospel verse.
