An Ancient Syriac Baptismal Liturgy in the Syriac Acts of John

In 1871 W. WRIGHT published the text of the Syriac Acts of John (actually entitled: The History of John the Son of Zebedee) taken from two manuscripts, the one of the sixth century and the other of the ninth century 1). Though in one of these manuscripts it is said that the text has been translated from a work written by Eusebius and the first editor believed that this work goes back to a Greek text, R. H. CONNOLLY showed that it is an original Syriac work 2). The contents do not only show some marked theological ideas found in Syria only, but the descriptions of baptism betray an order which is also genuinely Syriac. In Syria only we find a baptism with water after the anointment as met in these Acts. Though this may be generally known, it is remarkable that the descriptions of baptism have been neglected in studies dealing with baptismal practices in Syria 3). They are sufficiently detailed to discover its main features. Since these Acts go back to the end of the fourth or the beginning of the fifth century 4), they are an invaluable addition to our poor knowledge of ancient Syriac baptismal orders. We shall first of all give a summary of the text. Next we shall try to give an outline of the baptismal liturgy on which the descriptions are based and finally we shall add a few remarks with help of other Eastern baptismal liturgies.

The Apostles in the New Testament and in the Ecclesiastical Tradition of Egypt

There are four lists of the Apostles in the New Testament—one in each of the Synoptic Gospels containing the names of the Twelve, and one in the Book of Acts giving those of the Eleven only. Each list differs from the others in some respects.Peter naturally stands first in each of the New Testament lists, and Judas Iscariot comes last when he is mentioned at all. The one occupies the position of honor at the head of the series; the other is named at the end on account of his treachery. The two sons of Zebedee, with Andrew and Philip, all being prominent members of the apostolic company and early disciples of Jesus, form together with Peter the first five in each of these lists. Below this point there is considerable difference in order and some variation in the names of the Apostles.
