The Gospels in the Second Century

CHAPTER III
52/53

xii, 'Pray for them that persecute you and hate you, and for the enemies of the cross; that your fruit may be manifest in all things, that ye may be therein perfect' (cf.Matt.v.44, 48).

All these passages give the sense, but only the sense, of the first (and partly also of the third) Gospel.

There is however one quotation which coincides verbally with two of the Synoptics [Praying the all-seeing God not to lead us into temptation, as the Lord said], The spirit indeed is willing but the flesh is weak ([Greek: to men pneuma prothumon, hae de sarx asthenaes], Matt., Mark, Polycarp; with the introductory clause compare, not Matt.
vi.

13, but xxvi.

41).
