Introductory Note to the Epistle of Barnabas
[1478] The Latin here departs entirely from the Greek text, and quotes as a saying of “the Son of God” the following precept, nowhere to be found in the New Testament: “Let us resist all iniquity, and hold it in hatred.” Hilgenfeld joins this clause to the former sentence.
[1480] An exact quotation from Matt. xx. 16 or Matt. xxii. 14. It is worthy of notice that this is the first example in the writings of the Fathers of a citation from any book of the New Testament, preceded by the authoritative formula, “it is written.”
[1482] Prov. i. 17, from the LXX, which has mistaken the meaning.
[1484] Matt. ix. 13; Mark ii. 17;Luke v. 32.
[1485] The Cod. Sin. reads, “neither would men have been saved by seeing Him.”
[1486] Cod. Sin. has, “their prophets,” but the corrector has changed it as above.
[1487] A very loose reference to Isa. liii. 8.
[1488] Cod. Sin. omits “and,” and reads, “when they smite their own shepherd, then the sheep of the pasture shall be scattered and fail.”
[1490] Cod. Sin. inserts “and.”
[1491] These are inaccurate and confused quotations from Ps. xxii. 16, 20, and Ps. 119:120.
Chapter VI.—The sufferings of Christ, and the new covenant, were announced by the prophets.
[1495] The Latin omits “since,” but it is found in all the Greek mss.
[1496] Cod. Sin. has “believe.” Isa. viii. 14, Isa. xxviii. 16.
