This is popularly regarded as one of the most admirable acts in Christ's ministry. In the New Version the twelve verses relating it are declared by the Oxford revisers to be an interpolation. 187 In the miracle of restoring the sight of the man born blind, what did he tell the man to do? "Go wash in the pool of Siloam" (John ix, 7). "The Lord sent the blind man to wash, not in, as our version has it, but at the pool of Siloam; for it was the clay from his eyes that was to be washed off."--Smith's Bible Dictionary. 188 What is the meaning of the word "Siloam"? John: "Which is by interpretation, 'Sent'" (ix, 7). Which is not by interpretation "sent," but "aqueduct." 189 Who provoked the displeasure of the Pharisees by eating with unwashed hands? Matthew and Mark: The disciples of Jesus (Matt. xv, 1, 2; Mark vii, 1, 2). Luke: Jesus himself (xi, 37, 38). 190 Of what nationality was the woman who desired Jesus to cast the devil out of her daughter? Matthew: "A woman of Canaan" (xv, 22). Mark: "The woman was a Greek" (vii, 26). 191 What did his disciples say when he expressed his intention of feeding the four thousand? Mark: "And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness? And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven" (viii, 4, 5). Why should they be surprised at his intention of feeding four thousand with seven loaves when but a few weeks before he had fed five thousand with five loaves? In regard to this miracle Rev. William Sanday, of England, author of "Jesus Christ," the most important article in Scribners' "Bible Dictionary," says: "Are the two Feedings of Mark to be regarded as two events or one? Besides the general resemblance between the two narratives, a weighty argument in favor of the latter hypothesis is, that in the second narrative the disciples' question implies that the emergency was something new. They could hardly have put this question as they did if a similar event had happened only a few weeks before." This is also the opinion of Dr. Schleiermacher. 192 After feeding the four thousand where did he come? Matthew (Old Ver.): "Came into the coasts of Magdala" (xv, 39). Matthew (New Ver.): "Came into the borders of Magadan." 193 Where does Mark say he came? "Came into the parts of Dalmanutha (viii, 10). Criticising this statement, the "Bible for Learners" says: "Mark makes him journey still farther north, through the district of Sidon, and then turn southeast to the lake of Galilee, pass some way down its eastern shore apparently, and finally take ship and cross in a southwesterly direction to Dalmanutha, where we meet him once again. But the Evangelist's geography is open to suspicion, and we are inclined to lay these apparently purposeless wanderings of Jesus to the account of Mark's want of accuracy" (Vol. iii, p. 282). 194 What did he say to the Pharisees who asked for a sign?
