Annotation CXXIX

”And after six days, Jesus took Peter, etc.” — Mark 9:2

The author of the exposition on Mark, which is called Chrysostom’s, homily 10, warns that in the gospel according to Matthew it is written, “And it came to pass on the eighth day”; but in Mark, “After six days” — which is certainly not so. For what he says is had in Matthew, that [rather] stands in Luke chapter 9. This error — of whatever kind, whether arisen from a lapse of the author’s memory, or from the carelessness of the copyist — Godefridus Tilmannus, the scholiast of this author, noted.
