    [1] [Arabic, p. 26] 523

    523 Mark i. 35.

    And in the morning of that day he went out very early, and went to a [2] desert place, and was there praying.  524

    And Simon and those that were with [3] him sought him.  525

    525 Mark i. 37.

    And when they found him, they said unto him, All the people seek for [4] thee.  526

    526 Mark i. 38.

    He said unto them, Let us go into the adjacent villages and towns, that I may [5] preach there also; for to this end did I come.  527

    527 Luke iv. 42.

    And the multitudes were seeking him, and came till they reached him; and they took hold of him, that he should not [6] go away from them.  528

    528 Luke iv. 43.

    But Jesus said unto them, I must preach of the kingdom of [7] God in other cities also:  for because of this gospel was I sent.  529

    529 Matt. ix. 35.

    And Jesus was going about all the cities and the villages, and teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all the diseases and all the sicknesses, [8] 530

    530 Mark i. 39.

    and casting out the devils531

    531 Luke iv. 14b.

    And his fame became known 532

    532 Luke iv. 15.

    that533

    533 This may represent a Syriac as.

    he was teaching in [9] every place and being glorified by every man.  534

    534 Mark ii. 14.

    And when he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphæus sitting among the tax-gatherers;535

    535 See above, note to § 6, 46, which applies, although the Arabic words are different.

    and he said unto him, Follow [10] me:  and he rose and followed him.  536

    536 Matt. iv. 24.

    And the news of him was heard of in all the land of Syria:  and they brought unto him all those whom grievous ills had befallen through divers diseases, and those that were enduring torment, and those that were possessed, and lunatics,537

    537 Lit. son-of-the-roofs, a Syriac expression (cf. § 24, 31, note).

    and paralytics; and he healed them.

    [11, 12] 538

    538 Mark ii. 1.

    And after some days Jesus entered into Capernaum again.  539

    539 Mark ii. 2.

    And when they heard that he was in the house,540

    540 This is the end of verse 1 in the Greek.

    many gathered, so that it could not hold them, even about [13] [Arabic, p. 27] the door; and he made known to them the word of God541

    541 Luke v. 17b.

    And there were there some of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, sitting, come from all the villages of Galilee, and Judæa, and Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was [14] present to heal them.  542

    542 Luke v. 18.

    And some men brought a bed with a man on it who was paralytic.  [15] And they sought to bring him in and lay him before him.  543

    543 Luke v. 19.

    And when they found no way to bring him in because of the multitude of people, they went up to the roof, and let him down with his bed from the roofing,544

    544 This word may be either a singular or a plural.

    545 Luke v. 20.

    And when Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the paralytic, My son, thy sins are forgiven [17] thee.  546

    546 Luke v. 21.

    And the scribes and Pharisees began to think within their hearts, Why doth this man blaspheme?547

    547 This word ordinarily means to forge lies against; but our translator uses it regularly as here.

      Who is it that is able to forgive sins, but God alone?  [18] 548

    548 Mark ii. 8.

    And Jesus knew by the spirit that they were thinking this within themselves, and he [19] said unto them, Why do ye think this within your heart549

    549 Mark ii. 9.

    Which is better,550

    550 Peshitta has easier.

    that it should be said to the paralytic, Thy sins are forgiven thee, or that it should be said [20] to him, Arise, and take thy bed, and walk551

    551 Mark ii. 10.

    That ye may know that the Son of man [21] is empowered on earth to forgive sins (and he said to the paralytic), 552

    552 Mark ii. 11.

    I say unto thee, [22] Arise, take thy bed, and go to thine house553

    And he rose forthwith, and took his bed, and went out in the presence of all.  554

    554 Luke v. 25b.

    And he went to his house praising God.  [23] 555

    555 Matt. ix. 8a.

    And when those multitudes saw, they feared; 556

    556 Luke v. 26a.

    and amazement took possession of [24] them, 557

    557 Matt. ix. 8b.

    and they praised God, who had given such power to men.  558

    558 Luke v. 26c.

    And they said, We have seen marvellous things to-day, 559

    559 Mark ii. 12c.

    of which we have never before seen the like.

    [25] [Arabic, p. 28] 560

    560 Luke v. 27.

    And after that, Jesus went out, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting [26] among the publicans:561

    561 See above, note to § 6, 46.

      and he said unto him, Follow me.  562

    562 Luke v. 28.

    And he left [27] everything, and rose, and followed him.  563

    And the scribes and Pharisees murmured, and said unto his disciples, Why do ye eat [29] and drink with the publicans and sinners565

    565 Luke v. 31.

    Jesus answered and said unto them, The physician seeketh not those who are well, but those that are afflicted with grievous [30, 31] sickness.566

    566 A Syriacism.

      567

    567 Luke v. 32.

    I came not to call the righteous, but the sinners, to repentance.  568

    568 Luke v. 33.

    And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast always, and pray, and the [32] Pharisees also, but thy disciples eat and drink?  569

    569 Luke v. 34.

    He said unto them, Ye cannot make [33] the sons of the marriage feast570

    570 The Arabic word, which occurs here in many of the Arabic versions, could also be read bridegroom.  The Syriac word for marriage chamber is also used in the sense of marriage feast.

    fast, while the bridegroom is with them.  571

    571 Luke v. 35.

    Days will come, when the bridegroom is taken away from them; then will they fast in those [34] days.  572

    572 Luke v. 36a.

    And he spake unto them a parable573

    573 Mark ii. 21.

    No man inserteth a new patch and seweth it in a worn garment, lest the newness of the new take from the worn, and [35] there occur a great rent.  574

    574 Mark ii. 22.

    And no man putteth fresh wine into old skins, lest the wine burst the skins, and the skins be destroyed, and the wine spilled; but they put [36] the fresh wine in the new skins, and both are preserved575

    575 Luke v. 38, 39.

    And no man drinketh old wine and straightway desireth fresh; for he saith, The old is better.

    [37] 576

    576 Matt. xii. 1.

    And while Jesus was walking on the sabbath day among the sown fields, his disciples [Arabic, p. 29] hungered.  And they were rubbing the ears with their hands, and [38] eating.  577

    577 Matt. xii. 2a.

    But some of the Pharisees, when they saw them, 578

    578 Mark ii. 24.

    said unto him, See, [39] why579

    579 Syr.  In Arab. it means what?

    do thy disciples on the sabbath day that which is not lawful580

    580 Mark ii. 25.

    But Jesus said unto them, Have ye not read in olden time what David did, when he had need and [40] hungered, he and those that were with him? 581

    581 Mark ii. 26.

    how he entered the house of God, when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the bread of the table of the Lord, which it was not lawful that any should eat, save the priests, and gave to them that were with him also?  [41] 582

    582 Mark ii. 27.

    And he said unto them, The sabbath was created because of man, and man was not [42] created because of the sabbath583

    583 Matt. xii. 5.

    Or have ye not read in the law, that the priests in [43] the temple profane the sabbath, and yet they are blameless?  584

    584 Matt. xii. 6.

    I say unto you now, [44] that here is what585

    585 This may be simply a misinterpretation of the ordinary Syriac reading, which in all probability agrees with the masculine reading found in the Text. Rec. of the Greek.

    is greater than the temple586

    586 Matt. xii. 7.

    If ye had known this:587

    587 Is it possible that the Arabic word after known is not meant simply to introduce the quotation, but is to be taken in the adverbial sense, how representing the Syriac what that is?

      I love mercy, [45] not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned588

    588 See § 10, 13, note.

    those on whom is no blame589

    589 Matt. xii. 8.

    594 Luke vi. 7.

    595 Luke vi. 8.

    But he knew their thoughts, and said unto the man whose hand was withered, Rise and come near into the midst of [50] the synagogue596

    596 Luke vi. 9.

    And when he came and stood, Jesus said unto them, I ask you, which is lawful to be done on the sabbath day, good or evil? shall lives be saved or [51] [Arabic, p. 30] destroyed597

    597 Mark iii. 4b.

    But they were silent598

    598 Mark iii. 5.

    them with anger, being grieved because of the hardness of their hearts.  And he said unto the man, Stretch out thy hand.  And he stretched it out:  and his hand became straight.  [52] 600
