Introductory Note to Irenæus Against Heresies
[3844] Isa. xliii. 10, etc.
[3847] Matt. xxii. 29, etc.; Ex. iii. 6.
[3848] In the Septuagint and Vulgate versions, this story constitutes the fourteenth chapter of the book of Daniel. It is not extant in Hebrew, and has therefore been removed to the Apocrypha, in the Anglican canon [the Greek and St. Jerome’s] of Scripture, under the title of “Bel and the Dragon.”
[3857] Matt. xi. 27; Luke x. 22.
[3858] Not now to be found in Mark’s Gospel.
[3859] Photius, 125, makes mention of Justin Martyr’s work, λόγοι κατὰ Μαρκίωνος. See also Eusebius’s Ecclesiastical History, book iv. c. 18, where this passage of Irenæus is quoted. [The vast importance of Justin’s startling remark is that it hinges on the words of Christ Himself, concerning His antecedents and notes as set forth in the Scriptures, St. John v. 30-39.]
[3860] [A most emphatic and pregnant text which Irenæus here expounds with great beauty. The reference (St. Matt. xi. 27) seems to have been inadvertently omitted in this place where the repetition is desirable.]
[3861] The ordinary text reads cognoscunt, i.e., do know; but Harvey thinks it should be the future—cognoscent.
[3863] Matt. iv. 3; Luke iv. 3.
