'These things said Isaiah _because_ he saw His glory' (St.John xii.

41).

And why not '_when_ he saw His glory'?
which is what the Evangelist wrote according to the strongest attestation.

True, that eleven manuscripts (beginning with [Symbol: Aleph]ABL) and the Egyptian versions exhibit [Greek: hoti]: also Nonnus, who lived in the Thebaid (A.D.

410): but all other MSS., the Latin, Peshitto, Gothic, Ethiopic, Georgian, and one Egyptian version:-- Origen[102],--Eusebius in four places[103],--Basil[104],--Gregory of Nyssa twice[105],--Didymus three times[106],--Chrysostom twice[107],-- Severianus of Gabala[108];--these twelve Versions and Fathers constitute a body of ancient evidence which is overwhelming.
