Know that our brother Timotheus, Verse. 23 &c.] Because the termination of the Greek word is ambiguous, we may translate you know, or, know ye; and this latter reading I take to be the better; although I reject not the first. For it is very likely that he gives the Jews to understand, being beyond the sea; of that which yet they knew not. Moreover, if so be this Timotheus be that notable companion of S. Paul (which I willingly receive) it is very likely that either S. Luke, or Clement is the author of this Epistle. S. Paul surely was wont rather to call him his son. Besides, that which he immediately adds, agreeth not to the person of S. Paul. For it appears that he which wrote this Epistle was at liberty, and not imprisoned; ⟨p. 335⟩and besides, that he was rather somewhere else than at Rome: yea and it is very likely, that he had been in many of the cities of this country, and was ready to pass the sea. Now all these things might come to pass either to S. Luke, or to Clement after S. Pauls death.
