[266] iv. 25 d, 343 d.--What proves these two quotations to be from St. Matt. xxi. 44, and not from St. Luke xx. 18, is, that they alike exhibit expressions which are peculiar to the earlier Gospel. The first is introduced by the formula [Greek: oudepote anegnote] (ver. 42: comp. Orig. ii. 794 c), and both exhibit the expression [Greek: epi ton lithon touton] (ver. 44), not [Greek: ep' ekeinon ton lithon]. Vainly is it urged on the opposite side, that [Greek: pas ho peson] belongs to St. Luke,--whereas [Greek: kai ho peson] is the phrase found in St. Matthew's Gospel. Chrysostom (vii. 672) writes [Greek: pas ho pipton] while professing to quote from St. Matthew; and the author of Cureton's Syriac, who had this reading in his original, does the same. [267] P. 193.

The following note, however, is appended here]:-- With verse 43, the long lesson for the Monday in Holy-week (ver. 18-43) comes to an end. Verse 44 has a number all to itself (in other words, is sect. 265) in the fifth of the Syrian Canons,--which contains whatever is found exclusively in St. Matthew and St. Luke. [283] 'Omnino ex Lc. assumpta videntur.' [284] The section in St. Matthew is numbered 265,--in St. Luke, 274: both being referred to Canon V, in which St. Matthew and St. Luke are exclusively compared. [285] Vol. i. 13.
