[Greek: Axios gar ho ergataes tou misthou autou esti.] Here, if the Clementine writer had been following the first Gospel, he would have had [Greek: trophaes] and not [Greek: misthou]; and the assumption that there was here a non-extant Gospel coincident with St.Luke is entirely gratuitous and, to an extent, improbable.
Besides these, it will be seen, by the tables given above, that there are as many as eight passages in which the peculiarities not only of one but of both Gospels (the first and third) appear simultaneously.

Perhaps it may be well to give examples of these before we make any comment upon them.

We may thus take-- _Matt._ vii.

9-11.
[Greek: Ae tis estin ex humon anthropos, hon ean aitaesae ho huios autou arton, mae lithon epidosei auto; kai ean ichthun aitaesae mae ophin epidosei auto; ei oun humeis ponaeroi ontes oidate domata agatha didonai tois teknois humon, poso mallon ho pataer humon ho en tois ouranois dosei agatha tois aitousin auton;] _Clem.

Hom._ iii.
