Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Expositor, Vol. 14 In the Journal of Theological Studies for October, 1916, Dr. A. Wright has raised the question as to the original order of the Twelve Apostles in what, to most persons, will appear to be a startling form. He heads his communication with the question, "Was Judas Iscariot the first of the Twelve?" and gives an affirmative answer, basing the reply upon the form of the Greek in Mark xiv.10, where Judas Iscariot is described as, which may be translated, conceivably, as "the first of the twelve," on the ground that the ordinal numerals had already begun to give place to the cardinals - just in the same way as we say "Book V" instead of "the 5th Book," or as the New Testament writers called Sunday the One day of the week.1 This brief article was followed by a more extended communication in the Interpreter for April, 1917, in which the argument was popularised, and the public was advised to interpret Judas Iscariot "the one of the twelve" as Judas Iscariot "the first of the twelve." And from this starting point the general discussion arose as to the disputes for precedence which evidently prevailed in the Apostolic Circle. These disputes were held to explain, when taken into connexion with the treason of Judas, why Simon Peter became the chief of the Apostles, and why Judas´ name appears consistently at the end of the list. It is even suggested that this is the meaning of the word of Jesus about the first being last and the last being first.
