"The lamp of the body is the eye. If thine eye be sound the whole body is illumined; if the eye be diseased the whole body is in darkness. If the inner eye be darkened how great is the darkness." "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." "By their fruits both trees and man are known." "Each tree is known by its own fruit." "Put not new wine into old wine-skins, lest they burst." "Be wise as serpents and harmless as doves." "Wisdom is justified by her children." "If any man will be great, let him serve." "The lowly shall be exalted, the proud humbled." "Blind guides strain out the gnat, and swallow a camel." "Give and it shall be given you." "The measure ye mete shall be measured to you." "Cast the beam from thine eye before noticing the mote in that of thy neighbour." The following sentences in the "Gospel according to the Hebrews" do not appear to have been very seriously influenced by post-resurrectional ideas. "He is a great criminal who hath grieved the spirit of his brother." "No thank to you if you love them that love you, but there is thank if ye love your enemies and them that hate you." (Cf. Prov. xxix. 17, 29.) "Be ye never joyful save when you have looked upon your brother in charity." "Be as lambkins in midst of wolves." "The son and the daughter shall inherit alike." "It is happy rather to give than to receive." "No servant can serve two masters." "Out of entire heart and out of entire mind." "What is the profit if a man gain the entire world, and lose his life?" "Seek from little to wax great, and not from greater to become less." "Become proved bankers." "If ye have not been faithful in the little who will give you the great?" These instructions have no connotations of the end of the world. They appear like the words of a man of the world, but not a man of the people. There is a certain unity in them, indicating a mind more developed than the semi-Jahvist Alexandrian philosophers of the later Wisdom cult, as represented by Jesus Ben Sira's "Wisdom," and by the "Wisdom of Solomon"; also a mind more practical. But these wise sayings do not convey the full idea of a man whose execution the Sanhedrim would require, nor a man whose resurrection from the grave would be looked for by the populace. These two phenomenal facts imply some strong antagonism to the priesthood and their system. Martyrdoms do not occur for ethical generalizations, much less for philosophical affirmations. The faith that strikes deep is that which speaks in great denials. Trying to follow his advice to "Become proved bankers," we may detect in some probable sayings of Jesus a transitional ring, e. g., "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath." The effort at self-emancipation is still more traceable in certain incidents related in the "Gospel according to the Hebrews":
