is hypocrisy ([Greek: hêtis estin hupocrisis]). For there is
nothing covered up ([Greek: sunkekalummenon]) which shall not be
revealed, and hid, which shall not be known.' It would, of course,
be affirmed that this was evidently a combination of two verses of
our first Gospel quoted almost literally, with merely a few very
immaterial slips of memory in the parts we note, and the explanatory
words, 'which is hypocrisy,' introduced by the Father, and not a
part of the quotation at all. The two verses are Matt. xvi. 6,
'Beware and take heed ([Greek: hopate kai]) of the leaven of the
Pharisees and Sadducees ([Greek: kai Saddoukaiôn]), and Matt. x. 26,
'... for ([Greek: gar]) there is nothing covered ([Greek:
kekalummenon]) that shall not be revealed, and hid, that shall not
be known.' The sentence would, in fact, be divided as in the case of
Justin, and each part would have its parallel pointed out in
separate portions of the Gospel. How wrong such a system is--and it
is precisely that which is adopted with regard to Justin--is clearly
established by the fact that the quotation, instead of being such a
combination, is simply taken as it stands from the 'Gospel according
to Luke,' xii. 1-2." [133:1]

"If we examine further, however, in the same way, quotations which
differ merely in language, we arrive at the very same conclusion.
Supposing the third Gospel to be lost, what would be the source
assigned to the following quotation from an unnamed Gospel in the
work of one of the Fathers? 'No servant ([Greek: oudeis oiketês])
can serve two lords, for either he will hate the one and love the
other, or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. Ye
cannot serve God and Mammon.' Of course the passage would be claimed
as a quotation from memory of Matt. vi. 24, with which it perfectly
corresponds, with the exception of the addition of the second word,
