Footnotes

^[8761] Oehler’s punctuation is followed here. The sentence is difficult, and has perplexed editors and commentators considerably.

^[8762] Matt. ix. 16-17; Mark ii. 21-22; Luke v. 36-37.

^[8763] Routh suggests, “fortase quâ sensit,” referring to the Adv. Praxeam, c. 5.

^[8764] Sermone.

^[8765] This is Oehler’s punctuation. The edition of Pamelius reads: “So the prayer composed by Christ was composed of three parts: of the speech, by which it is enunciated; of the spirit, by which alone it prevails; of the reason, by which it is taught.” Rigaltius and subsequent editors read, “of the reason, by which it is conceived;” but this last clause is lacking in the mss., and Oehler’s reading appears, as he says, to “have healed the words.” [Oehler’s punctuation must stand; but, the preceding sentence justifies the interpolation of Rigaltius and heals more effectually.]
