Since, as we have seen elsewhere, I Pt. 1 ; 18, 19 quite certainly 

 depends upon Paul (cf. Eph. 1 ; 7, Col. 1 ; 14, I Cor. 6 ; 20, 7 ; 23, 

 Gal. 3 ; 13), and since the account in Acts comes from a document 

 which antedates I Peter, we cannot suppose that there is any literary 

 connection here.

There is here a close resemblance. The doctrine of the resur- 

 rection and exaltation of Christ is too common, however, to permit 

 us to use this parallel as an argument for dependence. Cf. Acts 2 ; 

 32, 3 ; 15, 4 ; 10, 10 ; 40, 13 ; 30, 34, 17 ; 31, Rom. 4 ; 24, 8 ; 11, 

 I Cor. 6 ; 14, 15 ; 15, II Cor. 4 ; 14, Gal. 1 ; 1, Eph. 1 ; 20, Col. 2; 

 12, I Thes. 1 ; 10, etc.

The reference in Acts is a clear allusion to the doctrine of " Justi- 

 fication by Faith," so common with Paul, whereas the citation in 

 I Peter shows progress in the Johannine direction ; cf. Jn. 14 ; 15, 

 21, 23, 15 ; 7, 10, I Jn. 2 ; 5, 5 ; 3, etc.

Ps. 118 ; 22 was, during the early history of the church, a favorite 

 proof text for the Messiahship of Jesus. Mark 12 ; 10, followed by 

 Matthew and Luke, records it as having been quoted by Jesus with 

 reference to himself. It is significant that the text in Mark is exactly 

 the same as that used by our author, whereas the text used in the 

 " speech in Acts," which purports to be Peter's, has important vari- 

 ations. Assuming the historicity of Acts 4 ; 11, tradition, which 

 tells us that Mark drew from Peter, would in that case lead us to
