1. Matt. x. 14. And whosoever shall not receive you (viz.

the twelve Apostles sent out to preach to the Jews alone /only/ x. 5. 6.) nor hear any words, when you depart out of that town, or city,

shake off the dust of your feet. 15. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more

tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha, in the day of judgment, than for that

city.

2. Matt. xi. 23. 24. And thou Capernaum, which art exalted

unto heaven, shalt be brouhgt down to hell: for of the mighty works which have been

done in thee had been done in Sodom it would have remained until this day. 24. But I

say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom, in the day of

judgment, than for thee.

3. Mark vi. 11. And whosoever shall not receive you (viz.

the twelve Apostles sent out two and two to preach (no [...?] as to the persons to be

preached to) vi. 7. 8. 9. 10.) nor hear you, when he depart

thence, shake off the dust under your feet, for a testimony against them. Verily I

say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of

judgment than for that city.

4. Luke x. 12. But I say unto you (viz. the ‘ other seventy’ sent two and two before his face into every city

and place whither he himself would come x. 1.) that it

shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.

(a) Others? besides whom? Answer from the same Gospel, viz. Saint

Luke’s (Luke viii. 1).

2. Next comes the occasion on which, after the twelve apostles /missionaries/ whose

names with that title of distinction remaining to them /attached/ have been preserved

to us, ‘ other seventy’ whose names have never reached us are

in the Gospel according to Saint Luke (Luke x. 1.) are

spoken of as having been sent out on the like errand.

On the face of this account, a set of instructions to the same effect as those which

in the case of the twelve are stated as having been given to them before their

departure are immediately subjoined ‘upbraidings’ which on a subsequent occasion, and

as it should seem after and in consequence of their return are bestowed upon the

three non-repentant cities above-mentioned.

First comes /behold/ the correspondent part of the instructions. Luke x. 10. But unto whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive

you not, go your way, out into the streets of the same, and say,

11. Even the very dust of your city which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against

you: notwithstanding, be sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

Then comes the encouraging passage /matter of encouragement/:

12. ‘But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than

for that city.

After the interposition of the three interposed verses which will herein immediately

be brought to view, the matter of encouragement concludes with the following

addition, viz. With no other difference than that of receiveth instead of heareth

these are

16. ‘He that heareth you, heareth me: and he that despiseth you despiseth me: and he

that despiseth me despisent him that sent me.’

Jesus’s allusions

In the Gospel according to Saint Matthew the upbraidings it

will be observed follow almost immediately after the account of the first-mentioned

mission viz. that of the Apostles, and neither in Saint Matthew, Saint Mark or Saint

John is any mention to be found of the mission of the seventy. By /Out of/ this

discrepancy arises some perplexity, but any such attempt /undertaking/ /enterprize/

as that of an attempt to clear it up would occupy too much space, and lead us too

wide of the present purpose.

As to Tyre and Sidon in Matthew xv and Mark vii mention is made of the healing of the young woman of

Canaan according to Matthew, a Greek by nation a Syro-phœnecian according to Mark out

of whom a devil or unclean spirit was expelled. The coasts (Matthew) or borders

(Mark) of Tyre and Sidon is the description given of the place. Is it to this that

the mention made of the works done in Tyre and Sidon in Saint Luke bear reference?

Neither in Saint Luke however any more than in Saint John is any mention of this

miracle to be found.

The works here mentioned as being done in the neighbourhood of Tyre and Sidon are

here mentioned as inferior to those done in the neighbourhood of Bethsaida. Inferior

in respect of notoriety a miracle wrought in a house as according to Mark Mark vii. 24 was this of the dispossession might well be deemed

when compared with a miracle wrought in the presence of 5000 witnesses.

Unhappily in Matthew the up[b]raidings bestowed upon Chorazin and Bethsaida and the

comparison thereupon made between the miracles wrought at Bethsaida /those places/

and those wrought near Tyre and Sidon are placed long before the account given in the

same Gospel of the miracle wrought near Tyre and Sidon: the upbradings being in

Chapter xi and the Tyre and Sidon miracles not till Chapter

xv. At Bethsaid Mark mentions moreover the cure of a

blind man: but it is not till Chapter viii, whereas the

mention made by Mark of the dispossession near Tyre and Sidon is in Chapter vii.
