These are so numerous that we hare omitted them from oar ejiitome. Notable examples, how ' ever, are to be found ip Mart. xL 27, where the fsiuaitic Codex reads; “'All thing* are delivered unto use of As Father," instead of “my Father;" John vi, 05, “No man can come unto me except it wero given unto him ot tie Father;" and John viii, 38, “I s|>cak that which I have seen with the Father, and ye do that which yflli have seen with your father," in both uf which the same change occurs. .t-v,.• * • (CO-VUIWS) IflSXX WJW*4 Th* Strong Ana.
