84 Zahn, of course, argues that the commands of Herod can only have
been given to the previously named Jews, the judges of Jesus, “and
perhaps to their servants” (_und etwa deren Diener_), and he finds
fault with Harnack for here bringing in “soldiers” from the
canonical Gospels, without warrant from the text. He declares them
to be directly excluded by the leading tendency of the Gospel of
Peter (_l.c._ p. 27). This supposed “leading tendency,” of hatred of
the Jews, is a good deal exaggerated.
