evangelists, of the particulars in the above account supplied by

St. John-Uses of this supplement in St. John, to fill up or explain

the preceding accounts.....

237-240

Events of the fourth division-Aŋorai, or malefactors, led away with

Jesus Number of the soldiers-Simon of Cyrene-Criminals

condemned to be crucified, carried their own crosses-Cross of our

Lord divided with Simon-Calvary or Golgotha-Tradition, re-

specting the burial place of Adam-Calvary, the common Tyburn

gall-Posca of the Roman soldiery-Shape of the cross, and form

of suspension upon it-Position of the three crosses-Title at-

tached to the cross of Jesus-The penitent and the impenitent thief

-Titles attached to crosses in general-Parting of the garments of

Jesus-Third hour of the day

240-248

Particulars from the third hour to the sixth and ninth-Commenda-
tion of the Virgin by our Lord to St. John-Miraculous darkness
-Particulars from the ninth hour to the expiration of Jesus-
Moment of our Lord's death, of his own appointing-Crucifixion

not a speedy death-Examples of that fact-Particulars from

many that slept, at the expiration of Jesus-Bodies of the crucified,

not usually taken down from the cross-Blood and water from the

side of Jesus-Petition of Joseph of Arimathæa-Grave-clothes and

248-254

DISSERTATION XLIII.

On the Harmony of the accounts of the Resurrection..257-320

Period comprehended by the accounts in question-Difficulties con-

nected with them, confined to the day of the resurrection.... 257

Distribution of the events of this day-Consideration of the visits to

the tomb, prior to that of the appearances of the angels-Number

of visits on record. . . .

257-258

Visit in St. Matthew, St. Mark, and St. John, prima facie the same

-Visit in St. Luke, prima facie not the same-Considerations

which render it probable beforehand, that the visits to the sepul-

chre on the morning of Easter day would be distinct-Motive

ascribed to the visits of the women to the tomb, in each of the

accounts-Imperfect performance of our Lord's funeral rites, on

the evening of Friday-Embalming among the Jews-Disem-

bowelling, whether a part of it or not-Design of a visit to the

tomb, on the morning after the sabbath, implicitly recognised in

the account of what passed at the burial-Preparation of spices by

some of the women, on the evening of Saturday-Providential effect

of our Lord's being buried on the Friday-Setting of the guard,

unknown to the disciples at the time.....
...258-263

Harmony of the accounts upon the morning of Easter day, based on

the principle of a twofold visit of the women-Probable reasons,

a priori, why these parties of women should be distinct-Parties

as such, recognised in the Gospel accounts, party of Salome,

and party of Johanna-Proofs of the distinctness of these

parties....
263-266

Reasons, a posteriori, that the parties in question actually were dis-

tinct-Comparison of particulars of the visit in St. Matthew, with

those of the visit in St. Luke-Comparison of particulars of the

visit in St. Mark, with those of the visit in St. Luke-Com-

parison of the visit in St. Matthew and St. Mark in conjunction,

with that in St. Luke-Resulting conclusion, that the parties

were throughout distinct
266-273

Objection to this conclusion, from the mention of the name of Mary

Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, as well as Johanna,

in the account of St. Luke of the report of the women to the apo-
stles-Resolvable into an omission in the accounts of St. Luke,
but not an inconsistency with the above conclusion-Report of
both parties, substantially the same.
273-275

Supplementary character of the several accounts to be taken into

consideration here-Proved by the examination of the accounts in

detail, and fact of omissions in St. Matthew supplied by St. Mark

-Scene of the account in St. Matthew, altogether placed outside

the tomb; that of the accounts in St. Mark, altogether inside the

tomb-Angel in St. Matthew, distinct from the angel in St. Mark,

and both together equivalent to the two, in St. Luke or St. John-

Objections of Celsus to the discrepancy of this part of the seve-

ral accounts-Harmony of the address of the angel to the women,

in the two accounts-Objection arising from the time of the

visit, in the accounts respectively-Tŷ èñɩpwσkovσn, with the ellipsis

of ὥρᾳProper sense of ὀψὲ σαββάτων—Illustrations of the use of

ὀψέ— Ανατείλαντος τοῦ ἡλίου of St. Mark, and λίαν πρωί, not consis-

tent, if both understood of one point of time-Пpoi, the point of

sunrise-Alav πрpot to be referred to the time when the women set out,

ávateíλavтostov ýλíov to that of their arrival at the sepulchre-Quarter,

whence the women would set out to the tomb-Distance of Bethany

from Calvary-Various computations of the periphery of Jerusalem

-The Bezetha or Canopolis of Josephus-Towers on the walls

of Jerusalem, and the number of cubits between them-Line of

circumvallation, drawn about Jerusalem by Titus-Meteor in the

time of Cyril, from Calvary to Mount Olivet-Resulting con-

clusion, of the distance which the women would have to travel,

and the probable time of their arrival at the sepulchre-Precise

moment of the resurrection, probably what..
275-287

Secondly, supplementary character of St. Luke-Implied in the dis-

tinctness of the visits themselves, to which his account is confined

-Of distinct visits, St. Matthew or St. Mark would select the first;

and therefore St. Luke the second

287-288

Thirdly, supplementary character of St. John-The first of his two

visits, the same with St. Matthew's or St. Mark's; the second, with

the second of St. Luke's-Double visit of Peter, a gratuitous as-

sumption-Account of this single visit in each of the evangelists,

consistent the one with the other....
. 288-289

Relation of the account of the visit of Mary Magdalene in St. John, to

that of the visit of Salome and Mary in St. Matthew and St. Mark

-Internal evidence, that Mary of Magdala accompanied the other

two on the way to the tomb-Nature of the approach to the tomb

-Site of the holy sepulchre-Mary of Magdala sent back from the

party, before their arrival at the tomb-Improbable in the highest

degree, that she could have been a party to what afterwards passed

at the tomb-Both parties of women departed again, before Mary's

return with Peter and John-No objection, that the visit of Peter,

which arose out of the report of Mary in particular, is said by

St. Luke to have arisen out of the report of the women in general

-Supplementary object of St. John's Gospel in this part of its

accounts, our Lord's personal manifestation to Mary of Magdala,

and the circumstances out of which it arose
....289-295

Manifestations of our Lord, necessarily connected with the farther

decision of these questions-Difficulty on this subject due to

what-Number and order of these manifestations-First manifes-

tation of Jesus alive again, made to Mary of Magdala, and to

Mary by herself-Manifestation to Mary, entirely distinct from the

manifestation to the women in St. Matthew-Manifestation to

the women in St. Matthew, if not the first on Easter Day, not a

manifestation on Easter Day at all—No room for the manifestation

to the women in St. Matthew, before or after the other recorded

appearances on Easter Day-Rule of proceeding, in the order of

these manifestations-No personal appearance of Jesus to the

women known to Cleopas and his companion, before their depar-

ture to Emmaus-Report of one or both parties of the women, of

the visit to the tomb, known to them....
295-300

Second appearance on Easter Day, the appearance to the two disci-
ples-Manifestations in St. Matthew, both referred to one and the

same final end, the account of the manifestation in Galilee-

Steps in his Gospel, which gradually prepare the way for this ac-

count at last-Peculiarity of the manifestation itself, especially

considered as the manifestation alluded to by St. Paul, and made

to more than 500 at once-
-Resulting conclusion of the time,

when a message, to prepare the way for such a manifestation as

this, would be sent-Message not yet received, while the apostles

were still in Jerusalem-Apostles in Jerusalem, a week at least

after Easter Day-Motions of the apostles after the resurrection,

in going to and from Jerusalem, specially directed by our Lord him-

self....

· 300-307

Objections to the above explanation: first, in the words, os éro-

pevovтo ȧπayуeîdai rois palŋrais avrov. Matth. xxviii. 9-Difficulty

of supposing these words always a part of St. Matthew's Gospel

-Marked in Griesbach, with the note of probably to be omitted-

Wanting in the oldest MSS. and versions-Not known to the

Fathers of the first five centuries: proved by quotations of the

text without them-Interpolation itself, probably made at

twice...
307-310

Objection to the same explanation, secondly, in the place of Mat-

thew xxviii. 11-15-Answer to the objection, by supposing that

account a Trajection-Reasons which might have produced the

Trajection
310-312

Harmonized detail of the accounts of the resurrection in general,

agreeably to the principles thus laid down-Hour of äpiorov, or

prandium, with the ancients in general, or Jews in particular-

Name of the companion of Cleopas-Appearance to Peter, con-

firmed by 1 Cor. xv. 5-Appearance to the Eleven, confirmed by

1 Cor. xv.
5-Appearance in Galilee, confirmed by 1 Cor. xv. 5—

To opos, traditionally Tabor-Probably the mountain near Caper-

naum-Appearance to James, 1 Cor. xv. 7-Conjectural object

of it, to admonish the apostles to return to Jerusalem—Account of

this appearance, in the Gospel according to the Hebrews-Appear-

ance on Ascension Day, confirmed by 1 Cor. xv. 7-Harmony of the

accounts of that appearance-Jewish and Julian date of Ascension

day-Interval between the Ascension and the day of Pentecost→→
