{Save this stranger} (ei m(8820)ho allogen(8873)). The old word
was allophulos ( Ac 10:28 ), but allogen(8873) occurs in the LXX,
Josephus, and inscriptions. Deissmann (_Light from the Ancient
East_, p. 80) gives the inscription from the limestone block from
the Temple of Israel in Jerusalem which uses this very word which
may have been read by Jesus: {Let no foreigner enter within the
screen and enclosure surrounding the sanctuary} (M(8874)hena
allogen(8820)eisporeuesthai entos tou peri to hieron truphaktou kai
peribolou).
