The parable of the unjust judge, though reproduced with something of the freedom to which we are accustomed in patristic narrative quotations both from the Old and New Testament, has yet remarkable similarities of style and diction ([Greek: ho kritaes taes adikias, poiaesei taen ekdikaesin ton boonton pros auton haemeras kai nuktos, Lego humin, poaesei...
en tachei).] We have to add to these another class of peculiarities which occur in places where the synoptic parallel has been preserved.

Thus in the Sermon on the Mount we find the following:-- _Matt._ vii.

21.
[Greek: Ou pas ho legon moi, Kurie, Kurie, eiseleusetai eis taen basileian ton ouranon, all' ho poion to thelaema tou patros mou tou en ouranois] _Clem.

Hom._ viii.

7.
[Greek: Ti me legeis Kurie, Kurie, kai ou poieis a lego;] _Luke,_ vi.
