In both these last quoted passages, the preference is to be given to the Nazarene Gospel, and probably also in that relating to forgiveness of a brother. The lost Gospel in that passage requires the brother to make satisfaction. It is no doubt the higher course to forgive a brother, whether he repent or not, seventy times seven times in the day; but it may almost certainly be concluded that our Lord meant that the forgiveness should be conditional on his repentance, for in St. Luke’s Gospel the repentance of the trespassing brother is distinctly required. “If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. And if he trespass against thee seven times a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.”(204) In St. Luke this is addressed to all the disciples; in St. Matthew, to Peter alone; but there can be little doubt that both passages refer to the same instruction, and that the fuller accounts in St. Luke and the Gospel of the Hebrews are the more correct. There may be less elevation in the precept, subject to the two restrictions, first, that the offence should be a verbal one, and secondly, that it should be apologized for; but it brings it more within compass of being practised. We come next to a much longer fragment, which shall be placed parallel with the passage with which it corresponds in St. Matthew. THE GOSPEL OF THE HEBREWS. ST. MATTHEW xix. 16‐24 “_Another rich man said unto “And, behold, one came and him: Master, what good thing said unto him, Good Master, shall I do that I may live? He what good thing shall I do, said unto him: O man, fulfil that I may have eternal life? the Laws and the Prophets. And And he said unto him, Why he answered him, I have done callest thous me good? there so. Then said he unto him, Go, is none good but one, that is, sell all that thou hast, and God: but if thou wilt enter give to the poor, and come, into life, keep the follow me. Then the rich man commandments. He saith unto began to smite his head, and him, Which? Jesus said, Thou it pleased him not. And the shalt do no murder, Thou shalt Lord said unto him, How sayest not commit adultery, Thou thou, I have fulfilled the Law shalt not steal, Thou shalt and the Prophets, when it is not bear false witness. Honour written in the Law Thou shalt thy father and thy mother: love thy neighbour as thyself; and, Thou shalt love thy and lo! many of thy brethren, neighbor as thyself. The young sons of Abraham, are covered man saith unto him, All these with filth, and dying of things have I kept from my hunger, and thy house is full youth up; what lack I yet? of many good things, and Jesus said unto him, If thou nothing therefrom goeth forth wilt be perfect, go and sell at any time unto them. And that thou hast, and give to turning himself about, he said the poor, and thou shalt have
