Introductory Notice to The Recognitions of Clement.
[740] [With chaps. 27–31 compare Homily IX. 3–7. The resemblances are quite close. See also book i. 30, 31.—R.]
[741] [With chaps. 27–31 compare Homily IX. 3–7. The resemblances are quite close. See also book i. 30, 31.—R.]
[742] [To chaps. 32, 33, a close parallel is found in Homily IX. 19–21.—R.]
Chapter XXXIII.—The Weakest Christian More Powerful Than the Strongest Demon.
[743] Matt. 8.9; Luke 7.8.—R.]
Chapter XXXIV.—Temptation of Christ.
[744] [The close of this discourse, chaps. 34–37, resembles that of the first at Tripolis, in Homily VIII. 21, 24. As already indicated, much of Homily IX. finds a parallel in this book.—R.]
[745] Matt. 4.10; Luke 4.8.—R.]
[746] [This is peculiar in this connection. There is, at least, a suggestion of anti-Pauline spirit in its teaching.—R.]
Chapter XXXVI.—The Garments Unspotted.
[748] [In Homily VII. 8 a similar injunction is given, at Sidon. The language in both places recalls Acts 15.20; 1 Cor. 10.21 But most of the chapter is peculiar to the Recognitions.—R.]
[749] Matt. xiii. 23. [Comp. Mark iv. 8, 20, where the order of the numbers corresponds with that of the Recognitions. The interpretation is a fanciful one, indicating not only Judaistic legalism, but the notion of esoteric teaching. The passage shows Ebionitic tendencies.—R.]
Chapter XXXVII.—The Congregation Dismissed.
[750] Clement, being not yet baptized, is represented as not permitted to join with the disciples, even in prayer. [Comp. i. 19, ii. 70–72. This separation is indicated in the Homilies, but more emphasis is placed upon it in the Recognitions.—R.]
Chapter I.—Peter’s Salutation.
[751] [Book v. has a partial parallel in Homily X., which is assigned to the second day at Tripolis. The matter here is more extensive. Chaps. 1, 2, show some resemblance to Homily X. 3–6.—R.]
Chapter II.—Suffering the Effect of Sin.
Chapter IV.—Ignorance the Mother of Evils.
[753] [Chaps. 4, 5, resemble somewhat Homily X. 2, which contains a preliminary discourse of the Apostle to his followers.—R.]
[754] [Here again the doctrine of free-will is pressed, the Homilies containing no parallel. Chaps. 6–13 have no corresponding passage in Homily X.—R.]
Chapter XI.—The Expectation of the Gentiles.
[756] Gen. xlix. 10. [This detailed statement of the call of the Gentiles is peculiar to the Recognitions; comp. i. 42. Such passages seem to indicate a tendency less anti-Pauline than that of the Homilies, yet the christology and soteriology are Ebionitic.—R.]
Chapter XII.—Call of the Gentiles.
Chapter XIII.—Invitation of the Gentiles.
[759] Luke vi. 36; Matt. v. 45.
[760] Deut. vi. 13; Matt. iv. 10.
Chapter XIV.—Idols Unprofitable.
