We turn, then, from all conjectural restoration of omitted descents to a supposition which, without necessitating the smallest change in the true original text, will clear the subject from all difficulty. It is generally admitted that Matthew wrote the first gospel; and it will not be controverted that much strong and early testimony exists that it was written in Hebrew or Syro-Chaldaic.
