These parallels in Pol. VIII have been pointed out by all scholars. 

 That Polycarp drew in VIII, 1 from I Pt. 2 ; 21—24, seems to beyond 

 all doubt. Though he has not followed the order of our Epistle 

 he has not only reproduced its thought but its phraseology ver- 

 batim. 



The first reference under VIII, 2 is drawn from another context 

 but clearly echoes I Peter. The second reference returns to the 

 context drawn from in VIII, 1. Since 6xoypa[j.[j.6v occurs no where 

 else in the N. T., there can be but little doubt but that the last 

 parallel presupposes our Epistle. Mr. Benecke notices that in the 

 place where I Peter is dependent on Isaiah, Polycarp seems clearly 

 to be dependent on I Peter. Cf. I Pt. 2 ; 22 with Isa. 53 ; 9. 

 Isaiah employs avo[jiav where I Peter uses ajxapTiav. Other diffe- 

 rences occur, but Polycarp gives verbatim the form found in our 

 Epistle.
