Introductory Note to the Epistle of Barnabas
[1507] The original word is “Gnosis,” the knowledge peculiar to advanced Christians, by which they understand the mysteries of Scripture.
[1508] Not found in Scripture. Comp. Isa. xl. 13;Prov. i. 6. Hilgenfeld, however, changes the usual punctuation, which places a colon after prophet, and reads, “For the prophet speaketh the parable of the Lord. Who shall understand,” etc.
[1509] The Greek is here very elliptical and obscure: “His Spirit” is inserted above, from the Latin.
[1511] Cod. Sin. has “our fair formation.”
[1513] Cod. Sin. inserts, “the Lord says.”
[1514] Cod. Sin. has “I make.”
[1515] Not in Scripture, but comp.Matt. xx. 16, and 2 Cor. v. 17.
[1517] Ezek. xi. 19, Ezek. xxxvi. 26.
[1518] Cod. Sin. inserts “Himself;” comp. John i. 14.
[1519] Comp. Eph. ii. 21.
[1520] Comp. Ps. xlii. 2.
[1521] Cod. Sin. omits “He says.”
[1522] Cod. Sin. omits “in the midst.”
[1523] Ps. xxii. 23; Heb. ii. 12.
[1524] Cod. Sin. has “But we said above.”
[1526] These are specimens of the “Gnosis,” or faculty of bringing out the hidden spiritual meaning of Scripture referred to before. Many more such interpretations follow.
Chapter VII.—Fasting, and the goat sent away, were types of Christ.
[1527] Cod. Sin. reads “temple,” which is adopted by Hilgenfeld.
