22 Indeed, the only place where T6V (1)ap16aiwv xat YU68OuKalwV (ton Pharisaion kai Saddoukaiou) is found outside Matthew is in Acts 23:7; and in this context the doctrinal disparity between the two groups is presupposed. In each pair, the two nouns are linked together for the purpose at hand. In Acts 23:7, the purpose at hand is the dispute that broke out between them. In Matthew 16:1, the Pharisees and Sadducees are linked in their question to Jesus, presumably as they function together as representatives of the Sanhedrin.

In first-class conditions, often called "real" conditions, it is often thought the protasis is assumed to be true; that is, the thing assumed is real. ' (v. 12). The same is true of vv. "15 This is in fact a fallacy. In a first-class condition the protasis is assumed true for the sake of the argument, but the thing actually assumed may or may not be true. To put it another way, there is stress on the reality of the assumption, but not on the reality of the content that is assumed.

Whatever the outcome of the continued debate on this passage, it should by now be obvious that Hendriksen's argument will not stand up, precisely because he mishandles the difficult questions surrounding synonymy. The heart of his argument is that the total semantic range of each word is slightly different from the other, and therefore that there is a semantic differ ence in this context. But if we decide contextually specific questions of synonymy on the basis of the total semantic range of each word, any synonymy in any context is virtually impossible.
