[521] Gr. christemporos. Warnings of this kind are given in the Epistles of Barnabas, Ignatius, and Polycarp. See Canon Spence's note. [522] Note the remarkable advance in the economic provision for the preacher, clearly a later item than ch. xi. [523] Canon Spence rightly translates: "on the Lord's Lord's-day." This singular phrase is obscured by the American editors, who simply translate "the Lord's day." The Greek is kyriakên Kyriou. It is thus clear that the expression "Lord's day" was in Pagan use, and that the phrase "Lord's-day of [the] Lord" was an adaptation of the standing expression to either Jewish or Jesuist use. This chapter may have belonged to the pre-Christian document. There is no allusion to the crucifixion. [524] Here the reference is clearly to Yahweh. The document cannot have been originally written with the same title used indifferently of Yahweh and Jesus. [525] Mal. i, 11. [526] Literally, "perform the liturgy" = "serve the (public) service." [527] Here we have the Christist expression. [528] This may have been a Jesuist allusion to Bar Cochab, about the year 135. [529] Or "outspreading." [530] An early support for the "Conditional Immortality Association." [531] Apol. i, 26. [532] If we could but trust the assertion of Origen in the next century (Against Celsus, vi, 11) that there were then no Simonians left, the presumption would be that they had been absorbed by another cult.
