1 Something of Dr. Sanday's later state of mind may be learned from his book, published in 1920, entitled ‘Divine Overruling.’

2 He states in the Modern Churchman that I represent Jesus as a man of secondrate importance who allowed his disciples to call him ‘Sir.’ It is of course easy to refute this representation. But it is not mine.

3 This would be denied by some critics, but I think that Wellhausen certainly has the better of Harnack on this point. In any case, even if it be not so, the influence of Q on Mark was small. Here too the suggestions of Wellhausen and Eduard Meyer as to the sources of Mark deserve further attention.
