Chapter
LI.—Weigh in the Balance.
Then Peter said: “If, therefore, some
of the Scriptures are true and some false, with good reason said our
Master, ‘Be ye good money-changers,’952
| 952 This is quoted
three times in the Homilies as a saying of our Lord, viz., here
and in Homily III. chap. 50, and Homily XVIII. chap. 20. It is
probably taken from one of the apocryphal Gospels. In Homily
XVIII. chap. 20 the meaning is shown to be, that as it is the part of a
money-changer to distinguish spurious coins from genuine, so it is part
of a Christian to distinguish false statements from true. | inasmuch as in the Scriptures there are
some true sayings and some spurious. And to those who err by
reason of the false scriptures He fitly showed the cause of their
error, saying, ‘Ye do therefore err, not knowing the true things
of the Scriptures;953
for this reason ye
are ignorant also of the power of God.’” Then said
I: “You have spoken very
excellently.”
