MATTHEW v, 17, 18. “Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets; I am not come to destroy, but to perform them.”

vi, 13. “Bring us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil One.”

xi, 14. “The prophets and the law were your teachers until John.”

xiii, 39. “The harvest is the conclusion of this age.” So verses 41, 49.

Verse 56. “His sisters also, are not they all of our opinion?”

xix, 25. “What rich man then can be saved?” So Luke xviii 26,

xxii, 9. Go ye therefore into the cross roads and as many as ye find invite to the feast.”

xxvii, 50, “When Jesus had cried out again with a loud voice, he expired,” not gave up the ghost as in King James’ translation, which conveys a wrong idea. So Mark xv, 57; Luke xxiii, 47; John xix, 30.
