~e:01.\I ~p~'t'i5v et, m\l~a ~a. ~e~ (Luke 24:47).<br />

The argument above has shown that it is impossible<br />

to say wi,th any degree of certainty that Ps 67:19<br />

occurs either in Acts 2:33 or 5:31.<br />

This is<br />

important because, as we shall see later, one possible<br />

interpretation of Ps 67:19 in Eph 4:8, although not<br />

depending on a possible occurrenceof the psalm in<br />

Acts, would be very much strengthened if it could be<br />

shown that Ps 67: 19 in a.' diff.erent, form from t:lat<br />

of Eph 4:8 did occur in either or both Acts 2:33, 5:31.<br />

2.2.2 Eohesians: Lock's Theory<br />

W. Lock 26 could write of Ephesians "it<br />

has been called the Christian 68th Psalm and recclls<br />

in many ways that great Jewish Psalm of victory •.•<br />

He [the author] quotes it and applies it to Christ<br />

(iv:8) but besides this quotation'there are many<br />

points of similarity wi thi t in thought and language II'.<br />

If this view is correct we should have yet another<br />

point of departure for the interpretation of Eph 4:8. 27<br />

We shall then examine this view in some detail, paying<br />

attention to the individual texts cited by Lock<br />

as being based on, or related to, phrases in the<br />

psalm.<br />
