The woes denounced on the Scribes and Pharisees,(332) and the saying that the Queen of the South should “rise in judgment against this generation,”(333) are given in the Recognitions as in St. Matthew, as also that “the harvest is plenteous,”(334) “that no man can serve two masters,”(335) and the saying on the power of faith to move mountains.(336) We have the parables of the goodly pearl,(337) of the marriage supper,(338) and of the tares,(339) but also that of the sower,(340) which does not occur in St. Matthew, but in St. Luke. This therefore was found in the Gospel used by the author of the Recognitions. There are two other apparent quotations from St. Luke: “_I have come to send fire on the earth, and how I wish that it were kindled_”;(341) and the story of the rich fool.(342) The first, however, is differently expressed from St. Luke. There are just two more equally questionable quotations: “_Be ye merciful, as also your heavenly Father is merciful, who makes his sun to rise upon the good and the evil, and rains upon the just and the unjust._”(343) We have the Greek in one of the Homilies.(344) In St. Luke it runs, “Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.”(345) In St. Matthew, “Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you, and persecute you; that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.”(346) Is it not clear that either the pseudo‐Clement condensed the direction, “Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you, and persecute you,” into the brief maxim, “Be ye good and merciful,”—or that, and this is more probable, there were concurrent traditional accounts of our Lord’s saying, and that St. Matthew, St. Luke, and the writer of the Gospel used by the pseudo‐ Clement, made use of independent texts in their compilations? The next passage is a saying of our Lord on the cross, which is given in the Recognitions: “_Father, forgive them their sin, for they know not what they do._”(347) In the Homilies we have the original Greek: “Father, forgive them their sins, for they know not what they do.”(348) Rufinus has unconsciously altered the text in translating it by making “sins” singular instead of plural.
