Clement of Alexandria · Who Is the Rich Man That Is Saved? · ca. 190–210 · Alexandria · Read in context

Summary: The story appears in Mark, and the other acknowledged Gospels agree with it in meaning, though their wording differs slightly.

Greek text · Stählin 3:163

Ταῦτα μὲν ἐν τῷ κατὰ Μάρκον εὐαγγελίῳ γέγραπται· καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἄλλοις δὲ πᾶσιν τοῖς ἀνωμολογημένοις ὀλίγον μὲν ἴσως ἑκασταχοῦ τῶν ῥημάτων ἐναλλάσσει, πάντα δὲ τὴν αὐτὴν τῆς γνώμης συμφωνίαν ἐπιδείκνυται.

English · Claude translation

This is written in the Gospel according to Mark; and in all the other acknowledged Gospels the wording perhaps varies a little here and there, but all show the same agreement in meaning.

Notes

Translation notes

  • “The acknowledged Gospels” (ἀνωμολογημένοις) is an early witness to the idea of a recognized set of Gospels; compare Matt 19:16–30 and Luke 18:18–30.
