(1) Eusebius of Caesarea (Demonstratio Evangelica, p308, 10, Eusebius Werke, Ivar A. Heikel )παραδειγματίσαι αὐτὴν , ἐβουλήθη λάθρᾳ ἀπολῦσαι αὐτήν.
(a) Ἰωσὴφ δὲ ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς, δίκαιος ὢν – The term ἀνὴρ δίκαιος cannot here, as in Luke 1:6, signify one who diligently fulfills the precepts of the Law; for, according to the Law, he ought to have preferred an accusation against his betrothed (see Dt 22:23). But he is called kind , merciful . Chrysostom: χρηστός, ἐπιεικής. To find out the true signification of ἀνὴρ δίκαιος (translated as “a righteous man ” or “a just man ” in English versions) here, we must turn the Greek into Hebrew. In the LXX, ἄνδρες δίκαιοι is the Greek rendering of Hebrew אַנְשֵׁי־חֶסֶד in Isaiah 57:1, that is, in English merciful, kind, compassionate men .
(b) παραδειγματίσαι ] I have now edited [παρα ]δειγμ ., for there is some reason to think that δειγματίσαι , though found in only four MSS . (yet those among the most ancient), may be the true reading, and παραδειγ . a critical correction (on which use see my Lex.) ; for παραδειγμ . is the term used in this sense by the Class. writers, and δειγμ . is never used by any but the Greek Fathers, though once by St. Paul, Coloss. ii. 15, εδειγμάτισεν , sine var. lect. So rare a term was likely to be altered to the usual one, παραδ ., while the reverse is not to be thought of. It may have been a provincialism, Cilicism, or Syriasm. The word παραδειγ ., found only in the Sept. and the later Greek writers, properly signifies, 1. to make an example of ; 2. to inflict punishment on, as Jer. xiii. 22, and often Polyb., or to expose to ignominy .The Greek Testament With English Notes , vol. 1, pp. 6-7)(c) δειγματίσαι occurs besides only in Col 2:15 (ἐδειγμάτισεν ). Some have thought δειγματίσαι points to judicial procedure with it penalty, death by stoning.(d) ἐβουλήθη λάθρᾳ ἀπολῦσαι αὐτήν – λάθρᾳ before ἀπολῦσαι is emphatic, and suggests a contrast between two ways of performing the act pointed at by ἀπολῦσαι . Note the synonyms θέλων and ἐβουλήθη . The former denotes inclination in general, the latter a deliberate decision between different courses – maluit . (Expositor’s Greek N.T., p67 ).(e) Ver. 19. δειγματίσαι is preferable rather than παραδειγματίσαι , although the evidence of MSS. is pretty nearly equal. The express statement of Eusebius is sufficiently decisive ; and this, too, shows that the passage in the Demonstratio Evangelica, where Eusebius has the common reading, has been improved by some copyist pro more , out of the Greek text which he had before him. It is worthy of remark that the passage out of Euseb . ad Steph. was known before it was edited by Mai, as found in certain scholia ; but in the scholia the reading and agreement were precisely reversed . The person who formed the Catena had adapted it to his reading.An Introduction to Textual Criticism of the New Testament , p. 347)
