A. D. 27. MATT. 111. 14-16. A. D. 27. of him that filleth all in all, Eph. i. 18- | yea, thy law is within my heart, Ps. xl. 23. Speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ, iv. 15. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying Abba, Father, Gal. iv. 6. After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and honour, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God, for ever and ever. Amen. And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. Rev. vii. 9-17. 7,8. The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable, Isa. xlii. 21. And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless, Lukei. 6. Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work, John iv. 34. And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him, viii. 29. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you, xiii. 15. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love, xv. 10. But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross, Phil. ii. 7, 8. For such an high priest became us: who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens, Heb. vii. 26, For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed, 1 Pet. ii. 21-24. Не that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked, 1 John ii. 6. VER. 16. Καὶ βαπτισθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς, ἀνέβη εὐθὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ ὕδατος· καὶ ἰδοῦ, ἀνεώχθησαν αὐτῷ οἱ οὐρανοὶ, καὶ εἶδε το Πνεῦμα τοῦ Θεοῦ καταβαῖνον ὡσεὶ περιστερὰν, καὶ ἐρχόμενον ἐπ ̓ αὐτόν· And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, a and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: a And the Spirit of the LORD shall A.D. 27. MATT. 111. 17.-1v. 1. A. D. 27. rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom | While he yet spake, behold, a bright and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord, Isa. xi. 2. BEHOLD My servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth: I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles, xlii. 1. THE Spirit of the LORD God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound, lxi. 1. And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him, Mark i.10. And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, Luke iii. 22. And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him, John i. 32. For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him, iii. 34. VER. 17. Καὶ ἰδοὺ, φωνὴ ἐκ τῶν ὀυρανῶν, λέγουσα· Οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ ὑιός μου ὁ ἀγαπητὸς, ἐν εὐδόκησα. And, a lo, a voice from heaven, saying, b This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. a And the Father himself, whichhath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice atany time, nor seen his shape, John v. 37. Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, an angel spake to him. Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes, xii. 28-30. And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps, Rev. xiv. 2. b Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my Spirit upon him, and he shall shew judg. ment to the Gentiles, Matt. xii. 18. cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him, xvii. 5. But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son, xxi. 37. I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said untome, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee, Ps. ii. 7. BEHOLD my servant, whom I uphold, mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles, Isa. xlii. 1. The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable, 21. And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased, Mark i. 11. And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son; hear him, ix. 7. And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape, like a dove upon him; and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee there came a voice out of the cloud, I am well pleased, Luke iii. 22. And saying, This is my beloved Son: hear glory of his grace; wherein he hath him, ix. 35. To the praise of the made us accepted in the beloved, Eph. i. 6. Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son, Col.i.13. For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased, 2 Pet. i. 17. CHAP. IV. VER. 1. Τότε ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀνήχθη εἰς τὴν ἔρημον ὑπὸ τοῦ Πνεύματος, πειρασθῆναι ὑπὸ τοῦ διαβόλου. THEN a was Jesus led up b of the Spirit into the wilderness, to betempted of the ddevil. a And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness. And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him, Marki. 12, 13. And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned A. D. 27. MATT. IV. 1. A. D. 27. 41 from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit | thee and the woman, and between into the wilderness, Luke iv. 1. And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of the LORD shall carry thee whither I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me: but I thy servant fear the Lord from my youth, 1 Kings xviii. 12. And they said unto him, Behold now, there be with thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master: lest peradventure the Spirit of the LORD hath taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, Ye shall notsend, 2 Kings ii. 16. Then the Spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of the LORD from his place. So the Spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the LORD was strong upon me, Ezek. iii. 12.14. And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the Spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy, viii. 3. MOREOVER the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD's house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah son of Azar, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people, xi. 1. Afterwards the Spirit took me up, and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me, 24. In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which was as the frame of a city on the south, xl. 2. So the Spirit took me up, and broughtme into the inner court; and behold the glory of the LORD filled the house, xliii. 5. And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing, Acts viii. 39. And I will put enmity between For thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise dThe tares are the children of the not ignorant of his devices, 2 Cor. ii. 11. And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure, xii. 7. Neither give place to the devil, Eph. iv. 27. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil, vi. 11. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil, Heb. ii. 14. Submit yourselves therefore to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you, James iv. 7. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about seeking whom he may devour, 1 Pet. v. 8. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil, 1 John iii. 8. Yet Michael the Archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, the Lord rebuke thee, Jude 9. Behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days, Rev. ii. 10. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him, xii. 9. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child, 12, 13. And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood, 15. And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ, 17. And A. D. 27 the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever, xx. 10. VER. 2. Καὶ νηστεύσας ἡμέρας τεσσαράκοντα καὶ νύκτας τεσσαράκοντα, ὕστερον ἐπείνασε. And when he had a fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. a And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights, Exod. xxiv. 18. And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread nor drink water, and he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments, xxxiv. 28. When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water, Deut. ix. 9. And I fell down before the LORD as at the first forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger, 18. Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first: because the LORD had said he would destroy you, 25. And he arose and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God, 1 Kings xix. 8. And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts, Mark i. 13. Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered, Luke iv. 2. Now in the morning, as he returned into the city, he hungered, Luke xxi. 18. And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry, Mark xi. 12. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God to make reconciliation for the sins of the people, Heb. ii. 14-17. Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job serve God for nought? Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face. And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD, Job i. 9-12. And Satan answered the LORD, and said, skin for skin, yea all that a man hath will he give for his life, But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face. And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold he is in thine hand; but save his life. So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown, ii, 4. 7. And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren, Luke xxii. 31, 32. For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in A. D. 27. vain, 1 Thess. iii. 5. Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life, Rev. ii. 10. bAnd the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence, Luke iv. 3. 9. VER. 4. But he answered and said, a It is written, b Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. a For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope, Rom. xv. 4. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, Eph. vi. 17. b And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live, Deut. viii. 3. And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God, Luke iv. 4. |
