Mutt. ix. 13 (from Luke v. 32); Matt x\ii. 21 (from Mark ix. 20); Matt xix. 16, 17 (comp. Mark x. 17, 18; Luko xviii. 18, 10); Matt xix. 20 (from Mark x. 20 and Luko xviii. 21) ; Mark iii. 5 and Luke vi. 10 (from Matt. xii. 13); Mark vi. 11 (from Matt. x. 15); Mark xiiL 14 (from Matt, xxiv. 15); Mark xv. 28 (from Luke xxii. 37); Luke iv. 2, 4, 5, 8 (comp.
