1893, p. 925, September, p. 633; J. Rendel Harris (no objection to
A.D. 130), _Contemp. Rev._ August 1893, p. 236.
73 Zahn, _l.c._ pp. 18 ff.; Swete, _l.c._ pp. xliii, f.
74 Zahn considers ὁ κύριος inauthentic in this place, but it stands in
A C D, and many other codices, and it is adopted by the Revisers of
the N. T.
75 Although this is not part of the Gospel, it is very ancient.
_ 76 L.c._ p. xliii.
_ 77 L.c._ pp. xliii, f.
_ 78 Magn._ ix.
79 Cf. Ἀναστὰς δὲ ἀπὸ τοῦ βήματος ἐζήτει ἐξελθεῖν. _Evang. Nicod._ Pars
1. A. ix. 3; Tischendorf, _Evang. Apocr._ 1853, p. 229.
80 For the sake of brevity these Gospels will be called simply Matthew,
Mark, Luke, and John.
81 Hilgenfeld conjectures that this abrupt mention of Joseph indicates
that he must already have been mentioned in the Gospel of Peter.
_Zeitschr._ 1893, 11. Heft, pp. 244 f.
82 Cf. προσελθὼν τῷ Πιλάτῳ ᾐτήσατο τὸ σῶμα τοῦ Ἰησοῦ._ Evang. Nicod._
Pars I. A. xi. 3; Tischendorf, _Evang. Apocr._ 1853, p. 234.
_ 83 L.c._ pp. 26 f.
84 Zahn, of course, argues that the commands of Herod can only have
been given to the previously named Jews, the judges of Jesus, “and
perhaps to their servants” (_und etwa deren Diener_), and he finds
fault with Harnack for here bringing in “soldiers” from the
canonical Gospels, without warrant from the text. He declares them
to be directly excluded by the leading tendency of the Gospel of
Peter (_l.c._ p. 27). This supposed “leading tendency,” of hatred of
the Jews, is a good deal exaggerated.
_ 85 Zeitschr._ 1893, ii. 248 f.
86 Murray, _Expositor_, January 1893, pp. 55 f.
87 Van Manen conjectures that the author got this “King of Israel” from
the independent use of some Hebrew or Aramaic source. _Tijdschr._
Juli 1893, p. 408.
88 So, for instance, Swete, J. Rendel Harris, Robinson, and others.
Others distinctly identify the αὐτῷ with the malefactor: as, for
instance, Kunze, _l.c._ p. 22; Von Schubert, _l.c._ pp. 28 f.; cf.
Lods, _l.c._ p. 21.
_ 89 L.c._ p. 26.
