Introductory Note to Irenæus Against Heresies

[3428] Ps. 110:1.

Chapter XI—Proofs in continuation, extracted from St. John’s Gospel. The Gospels are four in number, neither more nor less. Mystic reasons for this.

[3429] Irenæus frequently quotes this text, and always uses the punctuation here adopted. Tertullian and many others of the Fathers follow his example.

[3430] John i. 1, etc.

[3431] See ii. 1, etc.

[3432] John i. 10, 11.

[3433] John i. 14.

[3434] John i. 14.

[3435] John i. 6.

[3436] Mal. iii. 1.

[3437] Luke i. 17.

[3438] This evidently refers to 1 Kings xviii. 36, where Elijah invokes God as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, etc.

[3439] Matt. xi. 9; Luke vii. 26.

[3440] 1 Cor. xii. 28.

[3441] The transition here is so abrupt, that some critics suspect the loss of part of the text before these words.

[3442] John ii. 3.

[3443] John vi. 11.

[3444] John i. 18.

[3445] John i. 47.

[3446] The reading νεῖκος having been followed instead of νῖκος, victory.

[3447] John i. 49,John vi. 69; Matt. xii. 18.

[3448] Harvey thinks that this is the Hebrew Gospel of which Irenæus speaks in the opening of this book; but comp. Dr. Robert’s Discussions on the Gospels, part ii. chap. iv.
