Some early manuscripts do not have, "Son of God." There was always a temptation, to which copyists often succumbed, to expand titles and quasi-titles of books. It is possible that these words were added that way. However, the manuscript support for them is strong. Yet one sign that a reading is secondary is when there are many variables of it, as we find here. The early translations are indeterminate for absence/presence of definite articles, but they mostly support the inclusion of “Son of God.” 2 1·2a txt Καθὼς ℵ B Κ L Δ Θ Π* ƒ¹ 33 565 700 1071 TH ΝΑ28 {\} ‖ ὡς A D Gsup M U W Πc Φ ƒ¹³ 2 28 118 579 1424 TR HF RP ‖ lac ⁴⁵ C G N P Ψ 157 syrs. 3 1:2b txt τοῖς προφήταις "in the prophets" A E F Gsup H K M P U W Π*,c Σ Φ ƒ¹³ 2 28 118 180 579 597 1006 1009 1010 1071 1079 1195 1216 1230 1241 1242 1243 1253 1292 1342 1344 1365 1424 1505 1546 2148 Lect vgms syrh copboms mg eth slav Irenaeuslat⅔ Asterius TR HF RP ‖ τ Ἠσαΐᾳ τ προφήτῃ “in Isaiah the Prophet” ℵ B (L Ἰσαΐᾳ) Δ 22 33 565 892 1241 al it vg syrpal,p,hmg copsa,bopt IrenaeusGr,Lat Origen¼ NA27 {A} ‖ Ἠσαΐᾳ τ προφήτῃ “in Isaiah the Prophet” D Θ ƒ¹ 1 205 253 372 700 1071 1243 2174 2737 ℓ253 ℓ2211 al arm geo Iranaeusgr Origen¾ Serapion Epiphanius Severian Titus-Bostra Basil Epiphanius Hesychius Victor- Antioch (Ἠσαΐᾳ or τ Ἠσαΐᾳ ita,aur,b,c,d,f,ff2,l,q,r1 vg syrp,hmgpal copsa,bo Irenaeuslat⅓ Origenlat; (Victorinus-Pettau Chromatius omit τ προφήτῃ) Ambrosiaster (Jerome) Augustine ‖ Ἠσαΐᾳ καὶ ἐν τοῖς προφήταις “in Isaiah and in the prophets” itr1vid ‖ lac ⁴⁵ C G N Ψ 157 syrs. According to Strack-Billerbeck, “Kommentar zum Neuen Testament aus Talmud und Midrasch,” I, p. 597, Jewish sources were also known to combine Malachi 3 with Isaiah 40. 4 1:3 The first quotation appears to be a blend of Exodus 23:20 and Malachi 3:1, and the second quotation is of Isaiah 40:3. 2 Mk 1:4 ἐγένετο Ἰωάννης ὁ βαπτίζων ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ καὶ κηρύσσων βάπτισμα μετανοίας εἰς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν. ⁴so5 John the Baptizer appeared in the wilderness, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. Mk 1:5 καὶ ἐξεπορεύετο πρὸς αὐτὸν πᾶσα ἡ Ἰουδαία χώρα καὶ οἱ Ἱεροσολυμῖται πάντες, καὶ ἐβαπτίζοντο ὑπ’ αὐτοῦ ἐν τ Ἰορδάνῃ ποταμ ἐξομολογούμενοι τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν. ⁵And the whole region of Judea was going out to him, even all the Jerusalemites, and were getting baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins. Mk 1:6 καὶ ἦν ὁ Ἰωάννης ἐνδεδυμένος τρίχας καμήλου καὶ ζώνην δερματίνην περὶ τὴν ὀσφὺν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐσθίων ἀκρίδας καὶ μέλι ἄγριον. 6And John was dressed in camel's hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and eating locusts and wild honey. Mk 1:7 καὶ ἐκήρυσσεν λέγων, Ἔρχεται ὁ ἰσχυρότερός μου ὀπίσω μου, οὗ οὐκ εἰμὶ ἱκανὸς κύψας λῦσαι τὸν ἱμάντα τῶν ὑποδημάτων αὐτοῦ· 7And he would preach, saying, "After me is coming someone more powerful than I, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. Mk 1:8 ἐγὼ ἐβάπτισα ὑμᾶς ὕδατι, αὐτὸς δὲ βαπτίσει ὑμᾶς ἐν πνεύματι ἁγίῳ. 8I have baptized you in water, but he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit." The Baptism and Temptation of Jesus Diatessaron 4:21-31 Mk 1:9 Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν ἐκείναις ταῖς ἡμέραις ἦλθεν Ἰησοῦς ἀπὸ Ναζαρὲτ τῆς Γαλιλαίας καὶ ἐβαπτίσθη εἰς τὸν Ἰορδάνην ὑπὸ Ἰωάννου. 9And it came about in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. Mk 1:10 καὶ εὐθὺς ἀναβαίνων ἐκ τοῦ ὕδατος εἶδεν σχιζομένους τοὺς οὐρανοὺς καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα ὡς περιστερὰν καταβαῖνον εἰς αὐτόν· 10And going up out of the water he immediately saw the heavens opening, and the Spirit as a dove coming down to him.6 Mk 1:11 καὶ φωνὴ ἐγένετο ἐκ τῶν οὐρανῶν, Σὺ εἶ ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ἀγαπητός, ἐν σοὶ εὐδόκησα. 11And a voice from heaven said, "You are my beloved Son; in you I have taken good pleasure." Mk 1:12 Καὶ εὐθὺς τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτὸν ἐκβάλλει εἰς τὴν ἔρημον. 12And immediately the Spirit thrusts him forth into the wilderness. Mk 1:13 καὶ ἦν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ τεσσαράκοντα ἡμέρας πειραζόμενος ὑπὸ τοῦ Σατανᾶ, καὶ ἦν μετὰ τῶν θηρίων, καὶ οἱ ἄγγελοι διηκόνουν αὐτ . 13And he was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts. And the angels were attending him.7 5 1:4 Many translations say something like, "So John appeared..." This is because his appearing is connected to the Καθὼς γέγραπται (just as it is written) at the beginning of verse 2. When there is so much text elapsed between the καθὼς and what is compared, our ears require a reminder complement. In other words, Just as it is written, ..., so John appeared. 6 1:10 txt εις αυτον B D ƒ¹³ SBL TH NA28 {\} ‖ επ' αυτον ℵ A K L P W Γ Δ Θ Φ ƒ¹ syr TR RP 7 1:13 Greek: οἱ ἄγγελοι διηκόνουν αὐτ .

Repent and believe the good news." Mk 1:16 Καὶ παράγων παρὰ τὴν θάλασσαν τῆς Γαλιλαίας εἶδεν Σίμωνα καὶ Ἀνδρέαν τὸν ἀδελφὸν Σίμωνος ἀμφιβάλλοντας ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ· ἦσαν γὰρ ἁλιεῖς. 16And passing along beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew, Simon's brother, casting a net in the sea, for they were fishers. Mk 1:17 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Δεῦτε ὀπίσω μου, καὶ ποιήσω ὑμᾶς γενέσθαι ἁλιεῖς ἀνθρώπων. 17And Jesus said to them, "Come, you two. Follow me, and I will make you fishers of people." Mk 1:18 καὶ εὐθὺς ἀφέντες τὰ δίκτυα ἠκολούθησαν αὐτ . concluded, and that their waiting on him involved feeding him. But in Mark it sounds like the angels were attending him throughout the entire duration of his temptation.

  • Koine Pronunciation 2012
    Παράρτημα γ´ Ἡ Κοινὴ Προφορά 217 Ἡ Κοινὴ Προφορά Koiné Pronunciation Notes on the Pronunciation System of Koiné Greek, (These notes are of a technical nature beyond language learning, intended primarily for teachers.) When a person wants to use living language methods to learn a language, one is required to make some choices about what kind of pronunciation system to use. As long as students only need to write Greek or to look at Greek on a printed page, the pronunciation system is not a very important issue. As soon as students set their sights on a higher goal and want to include language learning methodologies that will lead to a fluent control of the language, they must come to grips with the need to include audio and oral material in a program. And audio material for an ancient language means that decisions must be made about the kind of pronunciation system to be used. Principles Governing the Pronunciation in this Course # 1. The pronunciation system is primarily intended for persons wishing to learn Koiné Greek, the general Greek dialect used from the third century before the Common Era (BCE) to the fourth century of the Common Era (CE). In particular, the focus is on the Koiné Greek of what is historically the Roman period in the land of Israel, 63 BCE to 325 CE. # 2. The pronunciation should preserve the same significant sound distinctions that were used in the Roman period. This means that the pronunciation system should be phonemic. This term will be explained below. # 3. The pronunciation system should, as far as practical, be historical.

  • Anselm's Cur Deus Homo
    Anselm’s Cur Deus Homo: A Meditation from the Point of View of the Sinner Gene Fendt Elements in Anselm's Cur Deus Homo point quite differently from the usual view of it as the locus classicus for a theory of Incarnation and Atonement which exhibits Christ as providing the substitutive revenging satisfaction for the infinite dishonor God suffers at the sin of Adam. This meditation will attempt to bring out how the rhetorical ergon of the work upon faith and conscience drives the sinner to see the necessity of the marriage of human with divine natures offered in Christ and how that marriage raises both man and creation out of sin and its defects. This explanation should exhibit both to believers, who seek to understand, and to unbelievers (primarily Jews and Muslims), from a common root, a solution "intelligible to all, and appealing because of its utility and the beauty of its reasoning" (1.1). Anselm’s Cur Deus Homo is the locus classicus for a theory of Incarnation and Atonement which exhibits Christ as providing the substitutive revenging satisfaction for the infinite dishonor God suffers at the sin of Adam (and company).1 There are elements in it, however, which seem to point quite differently from such a view. This meditation will attempt to bring further into the open how the rhetorical ergon of the work upon “faith and conscience”2 shows something new in this Paschal event, which cannot be well accommodated to the view which makes Christ a scapegoat killed for our sin.3 This ergon upon the conscience I take—in what I trust is a most suitably monastic fashion—to be more important than the theoretical theological shell which Anselm’s discussion with Boso more famously leaves behind.

  • Basil of Caesarea, Canonical Letters (Letters 188, 199, 217) Translated
    Selection [DRAFT] Basil of Caesarea, Canonical Letters (Letters 188, 199, 217) Translated by Andrew Radde-Gallwitz, forthcoming in Ellen Muehlberger, ed. The Cambridge Edition of Early Christian Writings, Volume Two: Practice (Cambridge UP). INTRODUCTION Basil of Caesarea (ca. 330-378) left behind one of the largest bodies of writing from the early Christian period, including monastic legislation, homilies, theological treatises, and an extensive correspondence. The three letters translated here are traditionally known as his canonical letters, and were read as authoritative documents in Byzantine tradition. The letters make no attempt to codify all of church law, but rather respond to specific queries sent by Basil’s protégé, Amphilochius of Iconium, who became a significant theologian in his own right. It is crucial to bear in mind that Amphilochius has asked for Basil’s judgment regarding specific cases that have come up in Amphilochius’ church in Iconium. Basil comments on cases dealing with murder, sex and marriage, the consultation of seers, and the conversions of heretics and schismatics. (Canon 1, incidentally, contains one of the classic statements of the differences between heresy and schism.) Precedent is decisive for Basil’s casuistry, and the reader can see his frequent appeal to the prior tradition of canonical legislation. By Basil’s time, this tradition included canons from individual bishops and rulings from church councils such as Elvira, Nicaea, and Laodicea, though Basil’s knowledge and use of these councils’ disciplinary decrees is uncertain. While conciliar legislation begins in the early fourth century, the individual episcopal canons on which Basil draws go back to the mid-third century: Basil mentions Dionysius of Alexandria, Cyprian of Carthage, and his own predecessor Firmilian of Caesarea.

  • The Text Tradition of Chrysostom's Commentary
    THE TEXT TRADITION OF CHRYSOSTOM'S COMMENTARY ON JOHN It is a fact that the textus receptus of many patristic authors was already fixed before the principles of textual criticism had been clearly established. An instance in point is the text of St. John Chrysostom's Commentary on John's Gospel. Both the Salesian text of 1944r-1948 and Migne's 1863 issue of this portion of the corpus Chrysostomicum merely reprint the 1834 edition of the Benedictine scholar Fix, and the labors of Fix antedate by several years the clear enunciation of Lachmann's principles and his application of them to the text of Lucretius. It is also a fact that the text of the eighty-eight homilies constituting the Commentary on John has never been scientifically established, and that the existing editions rest on a more or less arbitrary exploitation of rather meagre MS materials. An historical examination of the current texts will reveal the imperfect editorial principles on which they rest, their infectious dependence on each other, and also the need for a new and critical edition of these important homilies. When I have established these points, I shall try to group the MS tradition into two families which, in fact, represent two* recensions, and finally I shall discuss briefly the method I am using in con­ structing the new edition. The list of editions of Chrysostom which is found in the following para­ graph will make an examination of the history of the text easier to follow. The criticisms of the Benedictine, Dom Chrysostom Baur, who was surely the greatest Chrysostom scholar of this century, have been included in the notes to serve as conclusions drawn from evidence which would be too lengthy to present here.

  • The Life of Mark the Evangelist
    The Life of Mark the Evangelist April 25, 2021 Revision C Gospel: Mark 6:7-13 Epistle: 1 Peter 5:6-14 Many people have confused the Evangelist Mark with another member of the Seventy, John surnamed Mark (Acts 12:12). In addition, there was a third member of the original Seventy Apostles named Mark, who was the cousin of Barnabas (Colossians 4:10). They are three different individuals who came from different locales and who had much different roles in the Early Church. Modern accounts of these three individuals are often blended together. The Evangelist Mark was originally an idolater1 from Cyrene of Pentapolis, which is near Libya. He came to the Faith of Christ through the Apostle Peter. John Mark, on the other hand, in addition to being one of the original Seventy Apostles, was born at Jerusalem2, and the house of his mother Mary (Acts 12:12) adjoined the Garden of Gethsemane. John Mark was later Bishop of Byblos in Phoenicia just north of Beirut on the Mediterranean coast. Mark, the cousin of Barnabas, was3 also one of the original Seventy Apostles and was later the Bishop of Apollonia in Samaria, just north of Joppa on the Mediterranean coast. Since Barnabas was native to Cyprus (Acts 4:36), Mark, his cousin, probably was also native to Cyprus. After Pentecost, the Evangelist Mark accompanied the Apostle Peter (1 Peter 5:13), much as the Evangelist Luke accompanied the Apostle Paul. John Mark, on the other hand, accompanied the Apostles Paul and Barnabas on their First Missionary Journey (Acts 13:5, 13), and later worked with Barnabas on Cyprus (Acts 15:39).
