1 In the first Gospel the subject breaks off at the end of
v. 42. v. 40 may be compared with Justin's continuation, but
it is fundamentally different. The parallel passages in Luke
vi. 30, 34, present still greater variations. We have given
vi. 34 above, as nearer Justin than Matt. v. 46. It will be
remarked that to find a parallel for Justin's continuation,
without break, of the subject, we must jump from Matt. v.
42, 46, to vi. 19, 20.

1 This phrase, it will bo observed, is also introduced higher up in the passage, and its repetition in such a manner, with the same variations, emphatically demonstrates the unity of the whole quotation.
2 There is no parallel to this in the first Gospel. Matt. v. 48, is too remote in sense as well as language.
3 The first part of v. 45 is quite different from the context in Justin: "That ye may be sons of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh," &c, &c.
