narrative A, Christ is without disciples; in<br />

narrative B He is accompanied by <strong>the</strong>m. 3. In<br />

narrative A no miracles are recorded —^in fact,<br />

His words about Elijah <strong>and</strong> Klisha preclude any<br />

idea <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m; while in narrative B <strong>the</strong>re are a few,<br />

though<br />

not many. 4. In narrative A He is thrust out <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

city immediately after His sermon, while narrative<br />

B implies, that He continued for some time in<br />

Nazareth, only wondering at <strong>the</strong>ir unbelief.<br />

If it be objected, that <strong>Jesus</strong> could* scarcely have<br />

returned to Nazareth after <strong>the</strong> attempt on His life,<br />

we must bear in mind that this purpose had not<br />

been avowed, <strong>and</strong> that His growing fame during<br />

<strong>the</strong> intervening period may have rendered such a<br />

return not only possible, but even advisable.<br />

<strong>The</strong> coincidences as regards our Lord's statement<br />

about <strong>the</strong> Prophet, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir objection as to His<br />

being <strong>the</strong> carpenter's son, are only natural in <strong>the</strong><br />

circumstances.
