The Gospels in the Second Century

CHAPTER III
40/53

One Old Testament quotation and two Evangelical allusions occur in the Epistle to the Ephesians, which is one of the three contained in Cureton's MS.; the fifth and sixth chapters, however, in which they are found, are wanting in the Syriac.

xviii.

19 ('If two of you shall agree' &c.), and in Eph.

vi, 'For all whom the master of the house sends to be over his own household we ought to receive as we should him that sent him,' which may be compared with Matt.x.40 ('He that receiveth you' &c.).
