For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel, ix. 6. b Blessed is the man to whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile, Psal. xxxii. 2. VER. 48. Λέγει αὐτῷ Ναθαναήλ• Πόθεν με γινώσ. | κεις ; Απεκρίθη ὁ Ἰησοῦς, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· Πρὸ τοῦ σε Φιλιππον φωνῆσαι, ὄντα ὑπὸ τὴν συκῆν, εἶδόν σε. Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, a Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee. 'A. D. 30. And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there : a So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth, Gen. i. 27, 28. And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. And out of the a See on Matt. ix. ver. 4. clause 1. ground the LORD God formed every VER. 49. beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and ̓Απεκρίθη Ναθαναὴλ, καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· Pacci, où el é vids Toũ Qεoũ, où el i Bao-whatsoever Adam called every living λεὺς τοῦ Ἰσραήλ. Nathanael answered and saith unto him, a Rabbi, b thou art the Son of God; cthou art the King of Israel. a See on ver. 38. clause 1. VER. 50. ̓Απεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· Ὅτι εἶπόν σοι, εἶδόν σε ὑποκάτω τῆς συκῆς, πιστεύεις ; μείζω τούτων ὄψει. Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these. VER. 51. Καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· ̓Αμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν· Απ ̓ ἄρτι ὄψεσθε τὸν οὐρανὸν ἀνεω γότα, καὶ τοὺς ἀγγέλους τοῦ Θεοῦ ἀναβαίνοντας, καὶ καταβαίνοντας ἐπὶ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου. And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see the heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon a the Son of man. a See on Matt. xvi. ver. 13. clause 4.

And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and Woman, because she was taken out flesh of my flesh she shall be called of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife; and they shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed, ii. 18-25. Now : the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth, 1 Tim. iv. 1—3. Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge, Heb. xiii. 4. Λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Τί ἐμοὶ καί σοι, γύναι; οὔπω ἥκει ἡ ὥρα μου. Jesus saith unto her, a Woman, what have I to do with thee? bmine hour is not yet come. a When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son ! John xix. 26. And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou ? xx. 13. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, Why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? 15. b Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come, John vii. 6. VER. 5. Λέγει ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ τοῖς διακόνοις· Ὅ, τι ἂν λέγῃ ὑμῖν, ποιήσατε. His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. VER. 6. Ησαν δὲ ἐκεῖ ὑδρίαι λίθιναι ἓξ κείμεναι, κατὰ τὸν καθαρισμὲν τῶν Ἰουδαίων, χωροῦσαι ἀνὰ μετρητὰς δύο ἢ τρεῖς. And there were set there six waterpots of stone, a after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. a Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the Scribes, which came from Jerusalem. And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault. For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders. And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, bra A. D. 30. zen vessels, and of tables. Then the Pharisees and Scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands? Mark vii. 2-5. VER. 7. Λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Γεμίσατε τὰς ὑδρίας ὕδατος. Καὶ ἐγέμισαν αὐτὰς ἕως ἄνω. Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. VER. 18. After this he went down to a Caper-eaten me up, Psal. Ixix. 9. naum, he, and his mother, band his brethren, and his disciples; and they continued there not many days. a See on Matt. iv. ver. 13. clause 2. b Is mot this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? Matt. xiii. 55. VER. 13. Καὶ ἐγγὺς ἦν τὸ πάσχα τῶν Ἰουδαίων, καὶ ἀνέβη εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα ὁ Ἰησοῦς. And the Jews' Passover was at hand? and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, ̓Απεκρίθησαν οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι, καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ· Τί σημεῖον δεικνύεις ἡμῖν, ὅτι ταῦ τα ποιεῖς ; Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto 115, b seeing that thou doest these things? a See on Matt. xii. ver. 38. clause 3. b And when he was come into the temple, the Chief Priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? a See on Matt. xxvi. ver. 2. clause 2. and who gave thee this authority? And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not a my Matt. xxi. 23; and Mark xi. 27, 28; and Luke xx. 1, 2, VER. 19. ̓Απεκρίθη ὁ Ἰησοῦς, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Λύσατε τὸν ναὸν τοῦτον, καὶ ἐν τρισὶν ἡμέραις ἐγερῶ αὐτόν. Jesus answered and said unto them, a Destroy this temple, and in three days cI will raise it up. a But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses, And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days, Matt. xxvi. 60, 61. We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made with out hands. But neither so did their witness agree together, Mark xiv. 58, 59. b For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth, Matt. xii. 40. c For as the Father raiseth up the Father's house ban house of merchan- | dead, and quickeneth them ; even so dise a See on Matt. vii. ver. 21. clause 4. See on Matt. xxi. ver. 13. the Son quickeneth whom he will, John v. 21. For as the Father hath life in himself, so hath he given to the A. D. 30. JOHN II. 19-23. A. D. 30. Son to have life in himself, 26. There-ple of the living God; as God hath fore doth my Father love me, because said, I will dwell in them, and walk I lay down my life that I might take it in them; and I will be their God, again. No man taketh it from me, and they shall be my people, 2 Cor. but I lay it down of myself. I have vi. 16. And are built upon the founpower to lay it down, and I have power dation of the apostles and prophets, to take it again.

Now if Christ be preached that tual house, an holy priesthood, to he rose from the dead, how say some offer up spiritual sacrifices, accepamong you that there is no resurrec- table to God by Jesus Christ, 1 Pet. tion of the dead? 12. For Christ ii. 5. also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit, 1 Pet. iii. 18. I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death, Rev. i. 18. VER. 20. Εἶπον οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι· Τεσσαράκοντα καὶ ἓξ ἔτεσιν ᾠκοδομήθη ὁ ναὸς οὗτος, καὶ σὺ ἐν τρισὶν ἡμέραις ἐγερεῖς αὐτόν ; Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? VER. 21. ̓Εκεῖνος δὲ ἔλεγε περὶ τοῦ ναοῦ τοῦ σώματος αὐτοῦ. VER. 22. Ὅτε οὖν ἠγέρθη ἐκ νεκρῶν, ἐμνήσθησαν οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ὅτι τοῦτο ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς· καὶ ἐπίστευσαν τῇ γραφῇ, καὶ τῷ λόγῳ ο wav ò 'Inσous. the dead, his disciples remembered that a When therefore he was risen from he had said this unto them; and they believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell, Col. i. 19. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily, ii. 9. b Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are, 1 Cor. iii. 16, 17. What! know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? vi. 19. And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the tem ἐποίει. Now when he was in Jerusalem aat the Passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did. a See on Matt. xxvi. ver. 2. clause 2. b Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him, John iii. 2. Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that Prophet that should come into the world, vi. 14. And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done? vii. 31. And he that sent me is with me: the Fa ther hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. As he spake these words, many believed on him, viii. 29, 30. VER. 24. Αὐτὸς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς οὐκ ἐπίστευεν ἑαυτὸν αὐτοῖς, διὰ τὸ αὐτὸν γινώσκειν πάντας· a But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, b because he knew all men, a When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone, John vi. 15. And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true, And many believed on him there, x. 41, 42. Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues, Matt. x. 16, 17. b See on Matt. ix. ver. 4. clause 1. VER. 25. Καὶ ὅτι οὐ χρείαν εἶχεν ἵνα τις μαρτυρήσῃ περὶ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου· αὐτὸς γὰς ἐγίνωσκε τί ἦν ἐν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ· a And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man. a See on Matt. ix. ver. 4. clause 1. CHAP. III.-VER. 1. "Hv dè äv@gwπos en Tãv Papioalav, Niκόδημος ὄνομα αὐτῷ, ἄρχων τῶν Ἰουδαίων. There was a man of the a Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: a See on Matt. iii. ver. 7. clause 1. VER. 2. Οὗτος ἦλθε πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν νυκτὸς, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· Ραββί, οἴδαμεν ὅτι ἀπὸ Θεοῦ ἐλήλυθας διδάσκαλος· οὐδεὶς γὰρ ταῦτα τὰ σημεῖα δύναται ποιεῖν ἃ σὲ ποιεῖς, ἐὰν μὴ ᾖ ὁ Θεὸς μετ ̓ αὐτοῦ. The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, a Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. a See on chap. i. ver. 38. clause 1. A. D. 30. b Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath-day, Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them, John ix. 16. The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous he is, and yet he hath opened mine thing, that ye know not from whence eyes. Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. If this man were not of God, he could do nothing, 30—33. Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not; the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me, x. 24, 25. Then gathered the Chief Priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles. If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him; and the Romans shall come, and take away both our place and nation, xi. 47, 48. If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both Ye men me and my Father, xv. 24. of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles, and wonders, and signs, which God did, by him, in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know, Acts ii. 22. How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil ; for God was with him, x. 38. |
