Introductory Notice to Apocrypha of the New Testament.
[2218] Another reading is: This is what I spoke of, as you know— that great is the mystery of the cross; and if so be that you are willing to listen, I will reveal it.
[2219] Perhaps we should read ἀναδείξει, shalt exhibit, for ἀναδέξει.
[2220] Two mss., of sinners.
[2221] Or, shut out.
[2222] Lit., be rolled towards.
[2224] Comp. 2 Cor. iv. 17.
[2225] Or, their sacred rites.
[2226] Comp. Matt. iii. 12.
[2227] Another reading is, seven quaternions.
[2228] One of themss. [the Bodleian] has here: Giving orders to the centurions that he should be bound hand and foot as if he were stretched on the rack, and not pierced with nails, that he might not die soon, but be tormented with long-continuing torture.
[2229] Another reading is: I am attached to thee.
[2230] The original is obscure. The meaning seems to be that he was tied only, not nailed. The nailing, however, seems to have been an essential part of the punishment of crucifixion.
[2231] It was common to let loose wild beasts on the crucified (Sueton., Nero, 49).
[2232] Instead of this paragraph, on ms. [the Bodleian] has: And there ran up a great multitude, about twenty thousand in number, among whom was the brother of Ægeas, Stratocles by name; and he cried out with the people, It is an unjust judgment. And the holy Andrew, hitting upon the thoughts of the believers, exhorted them to endure the temporary trial, saying that the suffering counted for nothing when compared with the eternal recompense.
[2233] One ms. calls her the proconsul’s wife. [So Pseudo-Abdias; but the Greek mss., collated by Tischendorf, do not give this reading.—R.]
[2234] i.e., having nothing to do with us.
[2235] ὁμόνοιαι.
