Chase records this striking parallel, yet he is unable to find any 

 evidence in it for literary dependence. The quotation in Mark does 

 not claim to have come from the lips of Jesus, consequently it is 

 a later interpretation in accord with the O. T. symbohsm. Cf. 

 Num. 27 ; 17, I Ki. 22 ; 17, Ezek. 34 ; 6, 37 ; 24, Zech. 10 ; 2, etc. 

 See Isa. 53 ; 6 for the probable original of I Pt. 2 ; 25.

Though the thought here is much the same the phraseology is 

 very different. Exhortations to watchfulness in view of the appro- 

 aching parousia were too common during the early period for this 

 parallel to be of any evidential value either for dependence or for 

 a common source. Cf. Rom. 13 ; 11, I Thes. 5 ; 6 f., etc.

KaTaxupiEUo) is a rare word in the N.T., yet it is not sufficient 

 in these contexts to make literary acquaintance probable. The 

 reference in I Peter could have been suggested, quite as naturally, 

 by II Cor. 1 ; 24 or Ezek. 34 ; 4. 



A study of the above points of contact (which, it is believed, 

 exhaust the more important ones) shows that the Pauline Literature, 

 upon which we are quite sure our author depends, furnishes, in nearly 

 every instance, equally close thought and phraseology : and in 

 not a few cases is the resemblance even more striking. It has also 

 been seen that Mark has been influenced by Paul. Whether or not 

 Mark and I Peter alike go back to Peter, we are quite sure that they 

 are deeply indebted to Paul. At all events literary dependence can- 

 not be claimed between I Peter and the Markan Source.
