NEW VERSE FOR BIBLE
Long Lost Fragment Of the Gospel 81
St Mark Found.

long Lost Fragment Of the Gospel Q
st. Mark Found.
Chicago. Dec. 3l.-A new saying o
/ Christ lost TO the world for thirteer
centuries and found in Egypt was
| given 10 the world for the first time
Monday by Professor Henry A. SAN
ders, of the University of Michigan.
! addressing the members OF the Archae-
illogical Institutes now in session AZ
the University OF Chicago. The frag-
ment is part Of an old Bible dating
back TO the Moslem conquest Of Egypt.
md on its face is 50 authentic as 10
fisarm hostile criticism.
The long lost fragment belongs in
the sixteenth chapter of the Gospel OF
St Mark and follows the fourteenth
verse. II relates TO the story OF
Christ's appearance. following his
death, TO eleven OF his apostles in Je-
rusalem.
With the new verse in. the Bible
reads
Mark 1914: And they answered say.
Ing that this age of unrighteousness
and unbelief is under the power Of Sa-
tan who does not permit the things
which are made impure by the (eviD
spirits to comprehend the truth of God
and his power For this reason. re
veal thy righteousness now. They
said 10 Christ and Christ said to them.
The limit Of the years OF the power OF
Satan has been fulfilled. but other ter
rible things are at hand. and I was de-
livered unto death on behalf OF those
who sinned in order that they may re-
turn to the truth and sin no more 10
the end that they may inherit the
spiritual. understandable. glory Of right
eousness which is in heaven"
In discussing the new verse. Profess
sor Sanders said: 1T has long been
maintained that verses eight TO
twenty of the sixteenth chapter OF
st. Mark were an addition TO the
gospel. borrowed from some other
unknown gospel near the end OF
the second century. This new manu-
script probably presents the original
form Of that part OF the lost gospel.
which, mutilated. was added 10 St
Mark. The reason for the omission Is
quite apparent. as the new verse con-
tains the statement that the destruc-
ton of sin in the world is near at
hand. This idea is found in the Epis-
ties of Peter and Paul but the four
gospels do not have IL. and it is
avoided by the later church writer's"
