Section XXVIII.
This word ordinarily means knowledge, but is used in this work in the sense of doctrine. The commoner form occurs perhaps only in § 50, 2.

[15] [Arabic, p. 108] But when the days of the feast of tabernacles were half over, Jesus went [16] up to the temple, and taught. And the Jews wondered, and said, How doth [17] this man know writing, seeing he hath not learned? Jesus answered and said, My doctrine [18] is not mine, but his that sent me. Whoever wisheth to do his will understandeth my doctrine, whether it be from God, or whether I speak of mine own accord. [19] Whosoever speaketh of his own accord seeketh praise for himself; but whosoever seeketh praise for him that sent him, he is true, and unrighteousness in his heart [20] there is none. Did not Moses give you the law, and no man of you keepeth the [21] law? Why seek ye to kill me? The multitude answered and said unto him, Thou [22] hast demons: who seeketh to kill thee? Jesus answered and said unto them, I did [23] one deed, and ye all marvel because of this. Moses hath given you circumcision (not because it is from Moses, but it is from the fathers); and ye on the sabbath [24] circumcise a man. And if a man is circumcised on the sabbath day, that the law of Moses may not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I healed on the sabbath [25] day the whole man? Judge not with hypocrisy, but judge righteous judgement.
The scribe who wrote the Vat. ms. wrote first God, the one, and then reversed the order by writing the Coptic letters for B and A over the words. (See above, Introduction, 5.)

[42] And while Jesus was going in the way, there came near to him a young man of the rulers, and fell on his knees, and asked him, and said, Good Teacher, what is [43] it that I must do that I may have eternal life? Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou [44] me good, while there is none good but the one, even God? Thou knowest the commandments. [45] If thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments. The young [Arabic, p. 110] man said unto him, Which of the commandments? Jesus said unto him, [46] Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not do injury, Honour thy father [47] and thy mother: and, Love thy neighbour as thyself. That young man said unto [48] him, All these have I kept from my youth: what then is it that I lack? And Jesus [49] looked intently at him, and loved him, and said unto him, If thou wouldest be perfect, what thou lackest is one thing: go away and sell everything that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and take thy [50] cross, and follow me. And that young man frowned at this word, and went away [51] feeling sad; for he was very rich. And when Jesus saw his sadness, he looked towards his disciples, and said unto them, How hard it is for them that have possessions to enter the kingdom of God!
John vii. 10a; Matt. xix. 1b.

[9] But when his brethren went up unto the feast, he journeyed from Galilee, and [10] came to the borders of Judæa, to the country beyond Jordan; and there came after [11] him great multitudes, and he healed them all there. And he went out, and proceeded [12] to the feast, not openly, but as one that conceals himself. And the Jews sought him [13] at the feast, and said, In what place is this man? And there occurred much murmuring there in the great multitude that came to the feast, on his account. For [14] some said, He is good: and others said, Nay, but he leadeth the people astray. But no man spake of him openly for fear of the Jews.
