Excerpt from A Critical and Exegetical Commentary on the Gospel According to S. Matthew Since the first publication of this book two important Commentaries have appeared, viz. Dr. Plummer's valuable Exegetical Commentary on the Gospel of St. Matthew, London, 1909, and Klostermann's most useful Commentary in the Handbuch zum Neuen Testament Tubingen, 1909. In this third edition of my Commentary no attempt has been made to revise the whole work. A number of corrections, for which I have to thank many kind friends, has been made in the text, some additional notes and references are appended, and two supplementary notes on the subjects of Divorce, and of the Date of the Gospel, are printed at the end by kind permission of the Editor of The Expository Times. By way of supplement to what I have said on pp. lvii-lix as to the Matthean Logia, may I refer to an Essay on "The Book of Sayings used by the Editor of the First Gospel" in Studies in the Synoptic Problem, Clarendon Press, 1901.

For over one hundred years, the International Critical Commentary series has held a special place among works on the Bible. It has sought to bring together all the relevant aids to exegesis - linguistic and textual no less than archaeological, historical, literary and theological-with a level of comprehension and quality of scholarship unmatched by any other series. No attempt has been made to secure a uniform theological or critical approach to the biblical text: contributors have been invited for their scholarly distinction, not for their adherence to any one school of thought. The first paperback editions to be published cover the heart of the New Testament, providing a wealth of information and research in accessible and attractive format.
