Introductory Note to Irenæus Against Heresies
[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.
[3864] Singula, which with Massuet we here understand in the sense of singularia.
[3865] Some, instead of significantibus, read signantibus, “stamping it as true.”
[3866] Matt. xi. 27;Luke x. 22. Harvey observes here, that “it is remarkable that this text, having been correctly quoted a short time previously in accordance with the received Greek text, ᾧ ἐὰν βούλητας ὁ υἱὸς ἀποκαλύψαι, the translator now not only uses the single verb revelaverit, but says pointedly that it was so written by the venerable author.” It is probable, therefore, that the previous passage has been made to harmonize with the received text by a later hand; with which, however, the Syriac form agrees.
[3868] The text has oculorum, probably by mistake for populorum.
[3869] Luke ii. 29, etc.
