First Epistle of Peter. 385 



mediately following Mr. Bartlet's reference. See just below. Bigg 

 contends that Barnabas used I Peter here. See Com. p. 108.

Following the preceding parallel this striking similarity is very 

 significant.

This reference shows closer kindship to our Epistle than to any 

 other passage of scripture. Gal. 3 ; 13 is the next closest parallel 

 in the N. T., but clearly " Barnabas " is not following it at this 

 point.

This similarity is probably due to common currency. Cf. the 

 parallel usage immediately following i. e. Buaioauvv], xpiasoj? dp/v] 

 xal lilrji;. It is to be noted however that reference is made to the 

 prophets in the contexts following the citations. Cf. T 7 with 

 I Pt. 1 ; 10.

Cf. 1; 19, Heb. 12; 24, 13; 12. 



Were we to follow C and the Lat. of Barnabas (i. e. £v Toi pav- 

 Tto-[;.aTt auToti tgO ai'iJ-aTO?., Lat. sparsione sanguinis illius) ; we should 

 have here a closer parallel with I Peter than with Hebrews, but 

 as Professor Bartlet says " all depends on the reading adopted ; and 

 as N is as likely to be right as C and a version, we must leave the 

 phrase out of account." The similar use however made of the 

 " suffering servant " of Isaiah is in favor of dependence on I Peter. 

 Cf. V, 2 with I Pt. 1 ; 19, 2 ; 211, 3 ; 18, 4 ; 1.
