A. D. 33. LUKE XXIV. 20-24. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe: And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go. Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God. Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am. And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth, Luke xxii. 66-71. Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them. But they cried, Crucify him, crucify him. And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required, xxiii. 20, 21. 24. When the morning was come, all the Chief Priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death: And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor, Matt. xxvii. 1, 2. and Mark xv. 1. But the Chief Priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas. Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus, which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified. And the governor said, Why? what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified. When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, say ing, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it. Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified, Matt. xxvii. 20-26. VER. 21. Ἡμεῖς δὲ ἠλπίζομεν ὅτι αὐτός ἐστιν ὁ μέλλων λυτροῦσθαι τὸν Ἰσραήλ. ̓Αλλά γε σὺν πᾶσι τούτοις, τρίτην ταύτην ἡμέραν ἄγει σήμερον ἀφ ̓ οὗ ταῦτα ἐγένετο. But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to-day is the third day since these things were done. A. D. 33. a And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities, Psal. cxxx. 8. VER. 22. ̓Αλλὰ καὶ γυναῖκές τινες ἐξ ἡμῶν ἐξέστησαν ἡμᾶς, γενόμεναι ὄρθριαι ἐπὶ τὸ μνημεῖον, Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre; a And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest. It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles. And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not, ver. 9-11. VER. 23. Καὶ μὴ εὑροῦσαι τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ, ἦλθον λέγουσαί καὶ ἐπτασίαν ἀγγέλων ἑωρακέναι, οἳ λέγουσιν αὐτὸν ζῆν. And when they found not his bedy, they came, saying, That they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive. VER. 24. Καὶ ἀπῆλθόν τινες τῶν σὺν ἡμῖν ἐπὶ τὸ μενημεῖον, καὶ εὗρον οὕτω καθὼς καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες εἶπον, αὐτὸν δὲ οὐκ εἶδον. And certain of them which were with us, went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not. a Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass, ver. 12. Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre. So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in. Then cometh Simon Peter following him. and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie, and the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself. Then went in also that other disciple, Καὶ αὐτὸς εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· Ὦ ἀνόητοι καὶ βραδεῖς τῆ καρδίᾳ τοῦ πιστεύειν ἐπὶ προφῆται. πᾶσιν οἷς ἐλάλησαν οἱ Then he said unto them, a O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken : VER. 31. A. D. 33. Αὐτῶν δὲ διηνοίχθησαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ, καὶ ἐπέγνωσαν αὐτόν· καὶ αὐτὸς ἄφαντος ἐγένετο ἀπ ̓ αὐτῶν. knew him: and he vanished out of And their eyes were opened, and they their sight. • Or, ceased to be seen of them. VER. 32. Καὶ εἶπον πρὸς ἀλλήλους· Οὐχὶ ἡ καρδία * See on Matt. vi. ver. 30. clause 2. ἡμῶν καιομένη ἦν ἐν ἡμῖν, ὡς ἐλάλει ἡμῖν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, καὶ ὡς διήνοιγεν ἡμῖν τὰς γραφάς; VER. 26. Οὐχὶ ταῦτα ἔδει παθεῖν τὸν Χριστὸν, καὶ εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν δόξαν αὑτοῦ; Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, thing and to enter into his glory? And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he & opened to us the Scriptures? See ver. 27. Ταῦτα δὲ αὐτῶν λαλούντων, αὐτὸς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἔστη ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν, καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· Εἰρήνη ὑμῖν. Πτοηθέντες δὲ καὶ ἔμφοβοι γενόμενοι | ἐδόκουν πνεῦμα θεωρεῖν. But they were a terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. a See on Matt. xiv. ver. 26. VER. 38. Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῖς· Τί τεταραγμένοι ἐστὲ, καὶ διατί διαλογισμοὶ ἀναβαίνουσιν ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν; And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? VER. 39. Ἴδετε τὰς χεῖράς μου καὶ τοὺς πόδας μου, ὅτι αὐτὸς ἐγὼ εἰμι· ψηλαφήσατέ με καὶ ἴδετε· ὅτι πνεῦμα σάρκα καὶ ὀστέα οὐκ ἔχει, καθὼς ἐμὲ θεωρεῖτε ἔχοντα. Behold my hands and my feet, it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. VER. 40. Καὶ τοῦτο εἰπὼν ἐπέδειξεν αὐτοῖς τὰς χεῖρας καὶ τοὺς πόδας. And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet. [And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side, John xx. 20.] VER, 41. Ἔτι δὲ ἀπιστούντων αὐτῶν ἀπὸ τῆς χαρᾶς, καὶ θαυμαζόντων, εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Ἐχετέ τι βρώσιμον ἐνθάδε; And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? a Your sorrow shall be turned into joy, John xvi. 20. But I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you, 22. VER. 42. Οἱ δὲ ἐπέδωκαν αὐτῷ ἱχθύος ὀπτοῦ μέξος, καὶ ἀπὸ μελισσίου κηρίου. And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. VER. 43. A. D. 33. Καὶ λαβὼν, ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν ἔφαγεν. And he took it, and did eat before them. a Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly; Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead, Acts x. 40, 41. VER. 44. Εἶπε δὲ αὐτοῖς· Οὗτοι οἱ λόγοι οὓς ἐλάλησα πρὸς ὑμᾶς, ἔτι ἂν σὺν ὑμῖν, ὅτι δεῖ πληρωθῆναι πάντα τὰ γεγραμμένα ἐν τῷ νόμῳ Μωσέως, καὶ προφήταις, καὶ ψαλ μοῖς περὶ ἐμοῦ. And he said unto them, a These are the words which I spake unto you, while 1 was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, dand in the Psalms, concerning me. a The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and Chief Priests and Scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day, Luke ix. 22. and xviii. 32, 33. Matt. xvi. 21. xvii. 22, 23. xx. 18, 19. Mark viii. 31. ix. 31. x. 33, 34. b And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel, Gen. iii. 15. And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he was fled; and he shall abide in it unto the death of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil, Numb. xxxv. 25. c Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high. As many were astonished at thee; (his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men;) So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see, and that which they had not heard shall they consider, Isa. lii. 13-15. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from A. D. 33. LUKE XXIV. 44. A. D. 33. and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the over spreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate, Dan. ix. 24-27. And they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for hisonly son, Zech. xii. 10. Awake, Osword, against my Shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the Shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered; and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones, xiii. 7. him; he was despised, and we esteem-troublous times. And after threescore ed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we, like sheep, have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great; and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the trans gressors, liii. 3-12. Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteous ness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. Know therefore and under stand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in 4 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth; my flesh also shall rest in hope: For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore, Psal. xvi. 9-11. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? Omy God, I cry in the day-time, but thou hearest not; and in the nightseason, and am not silent. But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them. They cried unto thee, and were delivered; they trusted in thee, and were not confounded. But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: lethim deliver him, seeing he delighted in him. But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts. I was cast upon thee from the womb; thou art my God from my i 188 A. D. 33.
