B LASS— On the Greek Text of St. 3IarJc's Gospel. 335 



"Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on 

 whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder" (AtK/xT/cret airov), 

 the same rare word which we find in the Greek version of Daniel. 

 We see, therefore, that Christ really referred this prophecy of the 

 stone to Himself, and consequently appropriated to Himself also these 

 words (Dan. ii. 35) : "And the stone that smote the image became a 

 great mountain, and filled the whole earth."
