Cod. Sin. reads, “be prepared.” Hilgenfeld follows Cod. Sin. so far, and reads, “For it is written how the Father commanded Him who was to redeem us from darkness (αὐτῷ—λυτρωσάμενον) to prepare a holy people for Himself.” Footnote 663: Isa. xlii. 6, 7. Footnote 664: Cod. Sin. has, “we know.” Footnote 665: Isa. xlix. 6. The text of Cod. Sin., and of the other MSS., is here in great confusion: we have followed that given by Hefele. Footnote 666: Isa. lxi. 1, 2. Footnote 667: Cod. Sin. reads “because,” but this is corrected to “moreover.” Footnote 668: Ex. xx. 8; Deut. v. 12. Footnote 669: Jer. xvii. 24, 25. Footnote 670: Gen. ii. 2. The Hebrew text is here followed, the Septuagint reading “sixth” instead of “seventh.” Footnote 671: Cod. Sin. reads “signifies.” Footnote 672: Cod. Sin. adds, “to me.” Footnote 673: Cod. Sin. reads, “The day of the Lord shall be as a thousand years.” Footnote 674: Ps. xc. 4; 2 Pet. iii. 8 Footnote 675: Cod. Sin. seems properly to omit “of the wicked man.” Footnote 676: Cod. Sin. places _stars_ before _moon_. Footnote 677: Cod. Sin. reads “again,” but is corrected as above. Footnote 678: The meaning is, “If the Sabbaths of the Jews were the true Sabbath, we should have been deceived by God, who demands pure hands and a pure heart.”—HEFELE. Footnote 679: Cod. Sin. has, “But if not.” Hilgenfeld’s text of this confused passage reads as follows: “Who then can sanctify the day which God has sanctified, except the man who is of a pure heart? We are deceived (or mistaken) in all things. Behold, therefore,” etc. Footnote 680: Cod. Sin. reads, “resting aright, we shall sanctify it, having been justified, and received the promise, iniquity no longer existing, but all things having been made new by the Lord.” Footnote 681: Cod. Sin. reads, “Shall we not then?” Footnote 682: Isa. i. 13. Footnote 683: “Barnabas here bears testimony to the observance of the Lord’s day in early times.”—HEFELE. Footnote 684: We here follow the punctuation of Dressel: Hefele places only a comma, between the clauses, and inclines to think that the writer implies that the ascension of Christ took place on the first day of the week. Footnote 685: That is, “they worshipped the temple instead of Him.” Footnote 686: Isa. xl. 12. Footnote 687: Isa. lxvi. 1. Footnote 688: Comp. Isa. xlix. 17 (Sept.). Footnote 689: Cod. Sin. omits this. Footnote 690: Comp. Isa. v., Jer. xxv.; but the words do not occur in Scripture. Footnote 691: Dan. ix. 24-27; Hagg. ii. 10. Footnote 692: Cod. Sin. reads, “the calling.” Footnote 693: Cod. Sin. gives the clauses of this sentence separately, each occupying a line. Footnote 694: That is, the man who is engaged in preaching the gospel. Footnote 695: Such is the punctuation adopted by Hefele, Dressel, and Hilgenfeld. Footnote 696:
