    see the same thing in a someAvhat similar form in what is called ‘ the hospital stretcher.’ Here, again, observe the remarkable coinci- dences even as regards this one word ‘ bed,’ and how much we learn as to the honesty of the Evangelists and the perfect consistency of their accounts even with their individual peculiarities. In Acts V. 15, St. Luke has the words [’EttJ kXivoov kol Kpa/S^drcop] ‘ on beds and couches ’ (A.V. and R.V.). Dr Hobart (‘ Medical Tech- nology of St. Luke,’ 116), remarks on the variety of words employed by St. Luke for the beds of the sick. He uses two which are common to him and the other Evangelists kXIvjj, the general word for a bed or couch, and Kpdp^arog, the pallet of the poorer classes ’], and two peculiar to himself kXivISiov, and KXivdpiov In regard to the last of these words, how- ever [KXivdpiov^, which is the reading in the oldest uncial MSS., it must be noted that the ordinary word [jcXlvfj] appears instead of it in Acts V. 15, in some Greek Testaments in common use. See Wordsworth’s, Bagster’s, and the Cambridge Greek texts.
