Matthew 14:8 — murdered forerunner of Jesus! and what a gratification for an adulterous wife, and incestuous mother! The disturber of her illicit pleasures, and the troubler of her brother-husband's conscience, is no more! Short, however, was their glorying! Matthew 14:3; Matthew 14:3.

Mark 1:2 — reading was changed to ταιςπροφηταις, the prophets, that it might comprehend both. In one of ASSEMAN'S Syriac copies, both Isaiah and Malachi are mentioned.

1 Corinthians 4:3 — Verso 1 Corintios 4:3 . Es muy poca cosa que yo sea juzgado por vosotros ] Aquellos que prefirieron a Apolos o Kefas antes que a San Pablo, por supuesto darían sus razones para esta preferencia; y estos podrían, en muchos casos, ser muy desfavorables para su carácter como
