[576] Compare 1 Sam. xxiv. 22:--'And Saul went home: _but David and his men gat them up into the hold_.' 1 Kings xviii. 42:--'So Ahab went up to eat and to drink: _and Elijah went up to the top of Carmel, and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees_.' Esther iii. 15:--'And the king and Haman sat down to drink; _but the city of Shushan was perplexed_.' Such are the idioms of the Bible. [577] Ammonius (Cord. Cat. p. 216), with evident reference to it, remarks that our Lord's words in verses 37 and 38 were intended as a _viaticum_ which all might take home with them, at the close of this, 'the last, the great day of the feast.' [578] So Eusebius:--- [Greek: Ote kata to auto synachthentes hoi ton Ioudaion ethnous archontes epi tes Hierousalem, synedrion epoiesanto kai skepsin opos auton apolesosin en ho hoi men thanaton autou katepsephisanto; heteroi de antelegon, os ho Nikodemos, k.t.l.] (in Psalmos, p. 230 a). [579] Westcott and Hort's prefatory matter (1870) to their revised Text of the New Testament, p. xxvii. [580] So in the LXX. See Num. v. 11-31. [581] Ver. 17. So the LXX. [582] 2 Cor. iv. 7: v. 1. [583] Compare ch. vi. 6, 71: vii. 39: xi. 13, 51: xii. 6, 33: xiii. 11, 28: xxi. 19. [584] Consider ch. xix. 19, 20, 21, 22: xx. 30, 31: xxi. 24, 25.--1 John i. 4: ii. 1, 7, 8, 12, 13, 14, 21, 26: v. 13.--2 John 5, 12.--3 John 9, 13.--Rev. _passim_, especially i. 11, 19: ii. 1, &c.: x. 4: xiv. 13: xvii. 8: xix. 9: xx. 12, 15: xxi. 5, 27: xxii. 18, 19. [585] Westcott and Hort, ibid. pp. xxvii, xxvi. [586] Novum Testamentum, 1869, p. 829. [587] Plain Introduction, 1894, ii. 364. [588] Printed Texts, 1854, p. 341. [589] Developed Criticism, p. 82. [590] Outlines, &c., p. 103. [591] Nicholson's Gospel according to the Hebrews, p. 141. [592] Scrivener, ut supra, ii. 368. [593] I insert this epithet on sufficient authority. Mr. Edw. A. Guy, an intelligent young American,--himself a very accurate observer and a competent judge,--collated a considerable part of Cod. A in 1875, and assured me that he scarcely ever found any discrepancy between the Codex and Woide's reprint. One instance of _italicism_ was in fact all that had been overlooked in the course of many pages. [594] It is inaccurate also. His five lines contain eight mistakes. Praefat. p. xxx, Sec. 86. [595] ii. 630, addressing Rufinus, A.D. 403. Also ii. 748-9. [596] i. 291, 692, 707, 1367: ii. 668, 894, 1082: iii. 892-3, 896-7. [597] i. 30: ii. 527, 529-30: iii^{1}. 774: iii^{2}. 158, 183, 531-2 (where he quotes the place largely and comments upon it): iv. 149, 466 (largely quoted), 1120: v. 80, 1230 (largely quoted in both places): vi. 407, 413: viii. 377, 574. [598] Pacian (A.D. 372) refers the Novations to the narrative as something which all men knew. 'Nolite in Evangelio legere quod pepercerit Dominus etiam adulterae confitenti, quam nemo damnarat?' Pacianus, Op. Epist. iii. Contr. Novat. (A.D. 372). _Ap._ Galland. vii. 267.
