St. Jerome quotes as a saying of our Lord, “_Be ye proved money‐ changers._”(186) He has no hesitation in calling it a saying of the Saviour. It occurs again in the Clementine Homilies(187) and in the Recognitions.(188) It is cited much more fully by St. Clement of Alexandria in his Stromata: “_Be ye proved money‐changers; retain that which is good metal, reject that which is bad._”(189) Neither St. Jerome, St. Clement of Alexandria, nor the author of the Clementines, give their authority for the statement they make, that this is a saying of the Lord; but we may, I think, fairly conclude that St. Jerome drew it from the Hebrew Gospel he knew so well, having translated it into Greek and Latin, and which he looked upon as an unexceptionable authority. Whence the passage came may be guessed by the use made of it by those who quote it. It probably followed our Lord’s saying, “I am not come to destroy the Law, but to fulfil it.” “Nevertheless, be ye proved exchangers; retain that which is good metal, reject that which is bad.” Another passage is not given to us verbatim by St. Jerome; he merely alludes to it in one of his Commentaries, saying that Jesus had declared him guilty of a grievous crime who saddened the spirit of his brother.(190) It probably occurred in the portion of the Gospel of the Hebrews corresponding with the 18th chapter of St. Matthew, and may be restored somewhat as follows: “Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; _but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh, and the soul of his brother be made sore_. Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee,” &c. Another passage is in perfect harmony with the teaching of our Lord, and, like that given last, may very possibly have formed part of his teaching. It is also given by St. Jerome, and therefore in Latin: “_Be never glad unless ye are in charity with your brother_.”(191) St. Jerome, in his treatise against Pelagius, quotes from the Gospel of the Hebrews the following passage: “_If thy brother has sinned in word against thee, and has made satisfaction, forgive him unto seven times a day. Simon, his disciple, said unto him, Until seven times! The Lord answered, saying, Verily I say unto thee, until seventy times seven_;” and then probably, “_for I say unto thee, Be never glad till thou art in charity with thy brother_.”(192) The Gospel of the Nazarenes supplied details not found in that of St. Matthew. It related of the man with the withered hand, healed by our Lord,(193) that he was a mason,(194) and gave the words of the appeal made to Jesus by the man invoking his compassion: “_I was a mason, working for my bread with my hands. I pray thee, Jesus, restore me to soundness, that I eat not my bread in disgrace._”(195)
