[156] '_Et ait discipulis suis, non turbetur_.' [157] E.g. the words [Greek: kai legei autois; eirene hymin] have been omitted by Tisch, and rejected by W.-Hort from St. Luke xxiv. 36 _on the sole authority_ of D and five copies of the Old Latin. Again, on the same sorry evidence, the words [Greek: proskynesantes auton] have been omitted or rejected by the same critics from St. Luke xxiv. 52. In both instances the expressions are also branded with doubt in the R. V. [158] Pp. 78-80. [159] See Traditional Text, Appendix VII. [160] Bp. C. Wordsworth. But Alford, Westcott and Hort, doubt it. [161] Thus Codex [Symbol: Xi] actually interpolates at this place the words--[Greek: ouketi ekeinois elegeto, alla tois mathetais.] Tisch. _ad loc_. [162] Cyril Alex, (four times) and the Verona Codex (b), besides L and a few other copies, even append the same familiar words to [Greek: kai pasan malakian] in St. Matt. x. 1. [163] Investigate Possinus, 345, 346, 348. [164] It is surprising to find so great an expert as Griesbach in the last year of his life so entirely misunderstanding this subject. See his Comment. Crit. Part ii. p. 190. 'Nec ulla ... debuerint.' [165] [Greek: tous sozomenous kathemeran en te ekklesia. epi to auto de (TE S' TES DIAKINESIMOU) Petros kai Ioannes, k.t.l.] Addit. 16,184, fol. 152 _b_. [166] Bede, Retr. 111. D (add. [Greek: hoi en t. ekkl.]). Brit. Mus. Addit. 16, 184. fol. 152 _b._ Vulgate. [167] So the place stands in Evan. 64. The liturgical notes are printed in a smaller type, for distinction. [168] The Revision Revised, 34-6. [169] See The Traditional Text, p. 104. [170] [Greek: alla kai hemas epi tes Eucharistias legontas, 'eis tous aionas ton aionon,' k.t.l.] Contra Haer. lib. i. c. 3. [171] But the words of Gregory of Nyssa are doubtful. See Scrivener, Introduction, ii. p. 325, note 1. [172] See my Textual Guide, Appendix V. pp. 131-3 (G. Bell & Sons). I have increased the Dean's list with a few additional authorities. CHAPTER VII. CAUSES OF CORRUPTION CHIEFLY INTENTIONAL. I. Harmonistic Influence. [It must not be imagined that all the causes of the depravation of the text of Holy Scripture were instinctive, and that mistakes arose solely because scribes were overcome by personal infirmity, or were unconsciously the victims of surrounding circumstances. There was often more design and method in their error. They, or those who directed them, wished sometimes to correct and improve the copy or copies before them. And indeed occasionally they desired to make the Holy Scriptures witness to their own peculiar belief. Or they had their ideas of taste, and did not scruple to alter passages to suit what they fancied was their enlightened judgement.
