"Your reflections are just, Papias," interrupted the dealer, with dry incisiveness.
Now it is a fact that in portions of Matthew and Luke, derived elsewhere than from Mark, there are various allusions most easily understood if it be assumed that Jesus visited Jerusalem before his appearance there at the end of his ministry. These all suggest that the narrative of Mark does not tell the whole story, a conclusion quite in accordance with the account of his work given by Papias.

I bequeath my old dress to you, my dear, for I know you would never put on the new one.
