St Luke's story has the true ring of the primitive age; St Matthew's is shewn by its independence of St Luke's to be earlier than the publication of the latter. There is probability in the conjecture which traces them respectively to the Mother of the Lord and His supposed father. Nevertheless, Dr Harnack contends, the Conception "does not belong to the earliest Gospel preaching." This may at once be conceded, if the words are re- stricted to their narrowest sense. The earliest Gospel preaching... was limited to the witness borne by the Twelve to the things which they had seen and heard.
