Note 91 — Rev. ANDREW LEE, A.M. (continued 6)

Footnote 91

:

Sundulos sou gar eimi, xai ton adelphon sou ton prophaton. Doct. Doddridge in his notes on this passage observes, that it may be rendered I am thy fellow servant and the fellow servant of thy brethren the prophets.

But the translation in the Bible is perfectly literal. The sentence is elliptical. The elipsis may as well be filled by tis, as by sundoulos. If filled by the former, it reads thus, I am a fellow servant, and one of the brethren the prophets. This, for the reasons given above, we conceive to be the sense of the passage. The learned reader wilt judge for himself. (return)
