Marc. v. 16: 'Haec si Marcion de industria erasit, &c. V. 14: 'Salio et hic amplissimum abruptum intercisae scripturae. V. 3: 'Ostenditur quid supra haeretica industria eraserit, mentionem scilicet Abrahae, &c. Cf. Bleek, Einleitung, p. 136; Hilgenfeld, Evv. Justin's, &c., p. 473. Adv. So perhaps the insertion of iv. 27 in the history of the Samaritan leper.
Peter, who fell in with him originally in Samaria, seems to have encountered him again at Rome. At Rome St. Polycarp met Marcion of Pontus, whose followers spread through Italy, Egypt, Syria, Arabia, and Persia. Burton, "he finds that Gnosticism, under some form or other, was professed in every part of the then civilized world.
He too appeals to the tradition of which he had been himself a recipient. Tertullian is still bolder. In his controversy with Marcion he confidently claims as on his side the tradition of the Apostolic Churches. By it is guaranteed the Gospel of St.
At this Marcion said to Philo: Philinus hath spoiled your whole provision by deterring guests from eating; but, if you desire it, I will be surety for you, that such variety is more easily digested than simple food, so that without fear or distrust they may feed heartily. Philo desired him to do so.
It would be a fairer inference to argue from their silence, and still more from that of the 'malleus haereticorum' Epiphanius, that he did not in this depart from the orthodox custom; otherwise the Fathers would have been sure to charge him with it, as they did Marcion.
We may, then, reconstruct the Gospel used by Marcion with very considerable confidence that we have its real contents before us. In that Gospel, then, the following portions of our present St. Luke were omitted: Chaps. i. and ii, including the prologue, the Nativity, and the birth of John the Baptist. John, and the genealogy. iv. 1-13, 17-20, 24: the Temptation, the reading from Isaiah.
Again, Paley should have known, when he asserted that the uncanonical writings were not alleged as of authority, that the heretics did appeal to gospels other than the canonical. Marcion, for instance, maintained a Gospel varying from the recognised one, while the Ebionites contended that their Hebrew Gospel was the only true one. Hist," bk. iii., ch. 25.
There is perhaps hardly a single uncanonical Christian document that is admittedly and indubitably older than Marcion; so that direct evidence there is naturally none. But neither is there any direct evidence for the antiquity of man or of the earth.
From this controversy we may conclude that there was a strong likeness between Marcion's Gospel and the third Synoptic, and that it is impossible to know which is the earlier of the two. "At the very best, even if the hypothesis that Marcion's Gospel was a mutilated Luke were established, Marcion affords no evidence in favour of the authenticity or trustworthy character of our third Synoptic.
Here again Marcion had a variation which is unsupported by manuscript authority, but has to some extent a parallel in the Clementine Homilies, Justin, &c. xxi. 27. Crt., Syr. Pst. xxiii. 2. We may thus tabulate the relation of Marcion to these various authorities. The brackets indicate that the agreement is only approximate. Marcion agrees with Syr.
