Introductory Notice to Apocrypha of the New Testament.
[2415] Comp. Luke i. 26-38. Abdias goes on: He then, after His birth, suffered Himself to be tempted by that devil who had overcome the first man, persuading him to eat of the tree forbidden by God.
[2416] Comp. Luke iv. 1-13.
[2418] Lit., reigneth.
[2420] Or, unity.
[2422] Abdias calls him Astyages; elsewhere he is called Sanathrugus.
[2423] Lit., no-priests—μιερεῖς for μὴ ἱερεῖς—a name given in scorn to heathen priests by Christian writers.
[2424] Lit., calling out.
[2425] Abdias calls him Vualdath.
[2426] Or it may mean: that the apostle might be established.
[2427] Or, in orthodoxy.
Acts of the Holy Apostle Thaddæus,
[2428] [Curiously enough, the Vienna ms. has in the title: “one of the seventy,” instead of “one of the twelve.” The same confusion exists in the writings of Eusebius and Jerome.—R.]
[2429] Lit., the swift runner.
[2430] [Compare with this letter that found in Eusebius (Hist. Eccl., i. 13), where the reply is also given. Eusebius claims that he had seen the original documents.—R.]
[2431] Lit., doubled in four.
[2432] Or, fault.
[2433] The other [Vienna] ms. here adds: And having gone into it, he preached Christ, saying to them all with tears, Ye men who have ears to hear, hear from me the word of life; hear attentively, and understand. Cast off your many opinions, and believe and come to the one living and true God, the God of the Hebrews. For He only is the true God and Maker of the whole creation, searching the hearts of mankind, and knowing all about each one before their birth, as being the Maker of them all. To Him alone, fixing your eyes upon heaven, fall down evening and morning, and at noon, and to Him alone offer the sacrifice of praise, and give thanks always, refraining from what you yourselves hate; because God is compassionate and benevolent, and recompenses to each one according to his works.
[2434] The Parisms. has 20th.
Acts of the Holy Apostle and Evangelist John the Theologian.
[2435] Tischendorf gives a conjectural reading: who is present to them when they assemble; but the mss. reading will bear the interpretation given above.
