" The collocation of words is rightly considered by Hoffmann, von 

 Soden (and Swete) to show that the doxology is addressed to Christ, 

 as are those in II Tim. 4 ; 18, II Pt. 3 ; 18, Apoc. 1 ; 6." (Bigg 

 p. 176.) But in no other instance is there verbal agreement through- 

 out. The textual sequence and very similar phraseology in these 

 three parallels make a strong argument for dependence.

If oczb xaTa[joA-?jc x6g-[j.ou limits Id^paYpivov, as one would naturally 

 understand it, we have here a closer parallel than is to be found 

 elsewhere in the N. T. On the other hand, if, as in 17 ; 8, it 

 connects with ysypaTiTai, the thought is not the same. Cf. Swete's 

 "Apoc. of St. John," p. 164. As the text of Rev. 13; 8 stands 

 it really demands a direct connection between octto xaTa[3o>.Yi? 

 xocrpu and so-cpayfxsvov. Bigg so interprets it. (Com. p. 120.) 

 " Qui occisus est ab origine mundi," of the Textum Vaticanum, and 

 JjoVi^ oiCwiJiL ^ ••)« .-> I 001 )W»J; ' of the Peshito, 



can only be taken as our revisers of 1881 rendered the Greek text. 

 This parallel, therefore, is very significant, especially when taken 

 in connection with Ex. 1.

It is interesting to note that our author uses the word referring 

 to Christ, which is common with later authors. Cf. Jn. 10 ; 2, 11, 

 12, 14, 16, Heb. 13 ; 20, etc. See John Exs. 11-12.
