Farrar Fenton s rendition of the
cock-crowing incident about the time
Of the crucifxion is not borne out or
supported by the original Greek text
of the New Testament.
The Greek word translated "cock'
IN all four of the gospels is alektor'
and means just what the translator
intends to impress upon the reader.
The word "alektor'' has nothing to
do with "bugle," as claimed by Mr..
Fenton.
The circumstance upon which Mr..
Fenton bases his presumptuous altera-
ton of the English text is no doubt
the historical fact that no cocks were
allowed to remain in Jerusalem dur
ing Passover week (the time during
which this cock-crowing incident oc-
curred) The Romans, who had "a
strong guard in the castle of An
tonia, which overlooked the temple,
divided the night into four watches,
beginning at q, 9, II and 3 O'Clock.
The two last watches were called
"cock crowings."
The Romans relieved guards at each
watch by sound Of trumpet; the trum-
pet Of the third watch was called the
first and that Of the fourth the second
cock growing. And when it was said
the cock crew the meaning is that
the trumpet or the third watch sound
ed which always happens at mid
night. In short the trumpets sounded
at the usual literal cock Growing time,
and these trumpet sounds took their
name, "cock growing" and "cock, "
from this fact-which is proven by
the use of the word alektor,"
cock, and not "salpigx' (Gr),
trumpet, or "gallus" U), bugle.
The word used in the original Greek
from which the New Testament is
