me. * And Jesus said, Let her alone ; why trouble you her? she hath wrought a good work on me, Mark xiv. 6. b Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work, 1 Tim. v. 10. VER. 11. Πάντοτε γὰρ τοὺς πτωχοὺς ἔχετε μεθ' ἑαυτῶν, ἐμὲ δὲ οὐ πάντοτε ἔχετε. For aye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. a For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land, Deut. xv. 11. For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always, Mark xiv. 7. For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always, John xii. 8. Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do, Gal. ii. 10. But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? 1 John iii. 17. VER. 12. A. D. 33. Βαλοῦσα γὰρ αὕτη τὸ μύρον τοῦτο ἐπὶ τοῦ σώματός μου, πρὸς τὸ ἐνταφιάσαι με ἐποίησεν. For a in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. a And they buried him in his own sepulchres, which he had made for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odours and divers kinds of spices prepared by the apothecaries' art; and they made a very great burning for him, 2 Chron. xvi. 14. She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying, Mark xiv. 8. And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him, xvi. 1. And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment, Luke xxiii. 56. Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this, John xii. 7. And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight. Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury, xix. 39, 40. VER. 13. ̓Αμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ὅπου ἐὰν κηρυχθῆ τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦτο ἐν ὅλῳ τῷ κόσμῳ, λαληθήσεται καὶ ὁ ἐποίησεν αὕτη, εἰς μνη Verily I say unto you, a Wheresoever this Gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her. b Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither |μόσυνον αὐτῆς. I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you, John xiii. 33. Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also, xiv. 19. But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? xvi. 5. I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father, 28. And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are, xvii. 11. a See on chap. xxiv. ver. 14. Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed, 1 Sam. ii. 30. Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance, Psal.cxii. 6. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this Gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her, Mark xiv. 9. For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth, 2 Cor. x. 18. For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister, Heb. vi. 10. VER. 14. Τότε πορευθεὶς εἷς τῶν δώδεκα, ὁ λεγόμενος Ἰούδας Ἰσκαριώτης, πρὸς τοὺς ἀρχιερεῖς, Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the Chief Priests, d And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the Chief Priests, to betray him unto them, Mark xiv. 10. Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. And he went his way, and communed with the Chief Priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them. And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. And he promised, and sought opportunity to convey him unto them in the absence of the multitude, Luke xxii. 3-6. And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him, John xiii. 2. He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night, 30. VER. 15. Εἶπε· Τί θέλετέ μοι δοῦναι, καγὼ ὑμῖν παραδώσω αὐτόν; Οἱ δὲ ἔστησαν αὐτῷ τριάκοντα ἀργύρια. And said unto them, a What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver. a But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows, 1 Tim. vi. 9, 10. A. D. 33. b And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price: and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver. And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prized at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD, Zech. xi. 12, 13. VER. 16. Καὶ ἀπὸ τότε ἐζήτει εὐκαιρίαν ἵνα αὐτὸν παραδῷ. And from that time a he sought opportunity to betray him. a And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money, Mark xiv. 11. And he promised, and sought opportunity to tray him unto them in the absence of the multitude, Luke xxii. 6. VER. 17. Τῇ δὲ πρώτη τῶν ἀζύμων προσῆλθον οἱ μαθηταὶ τῷ Ἰησοῦ, λέγοντες αὐτῷ· Ποῦ θέλεις ἑτοιμάσωμέν σοι φαγεῖν τὸ πάσχα; Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, b Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the Passover? a And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the Passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the Passover, Mark xiv. 12. Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the Passover must be killed, Luke xxii. 7. See also on ver. 2. clause 2. b And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness, Matt. iii. 15. And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the Passover, that we may eat. And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare? Luke xxii. 8, 9. VER. 18. Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· Ὑπάγετε εἰς τὴν πόλιν πρὸς τὸν δεῖνα, καὶ εἴπατε αὐτῷ· ̔Ὁ διδάσκαλος λέγει· Ὁ καιρός μου ἐγγὺς ἐστι, πρός σε ποιῶ τὸ πάσχα μετὰ τῶν μαθητῶν μου. And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say uuto him, The Master saith, Mytime is at hand; I will keep the Passover at thy house with my disciples. A. D. 33. MATT. XXVI. 18-22. A. D. 33. a And he sendeth forth two of his ❘ to eat this Passover with you before I a disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him. And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the good-man of the house, The master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the Passover with my disciples? And he will shew you large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us. And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the Passover, Mark xiv. 13-16. And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in. And ye shall say unto the good-man of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the Passover with my disciples? And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the Passover, Luke xxii. 10-13. b See on ch. xxii. ver. 16. clause 2. c See on John vii. ver. 30. clause 2. VER. 19. Καὶ ἐποίησαν οἱ μαθηταὶ ὡς συνέταξεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς, καὶ ἡτοίμασαν τὸ πάσχα. And a the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the Passover. a And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them, Matt. xxi. 6. His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you do it, John ii. 5. VER. 20. Ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης, ἀνέκειτο μετὰ τῶν δώδεκα. Now a when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve. * And in the evening he cometh with the twelve. And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me, Mark xiv. 17, 18. And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. And he said unto them, With desire I have desired | suffer: For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God, Luke xxii. 14-16. VER. 21. Καὶ ἐσθιόντων αὐτῶν, εἶπεν· ̓Αμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ὅτι εἰς ἐξ ὑμῶν παραδώσει με. And as they did eat, he said, a Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. a For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then could I have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him; But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company, Psal. Iv. 12-14. Jesus answered them, Have not 1 chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve, John vi. 70, 71, When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me, xiii. 21. See also on chap. ix. ver. 4. clause 1. VER. 22. Καὶ λυπούμενοι σφόδρα, ἤρξαντο λέγειν αὐτῷ ἕκαστος αὐτῶν· Μήτι ἐγώ εἰμι, Κύριε; And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I? a And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I? And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish, Mark xiv. 19, 20. And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing, Luke xxii. 23. Then the disciples looked other, doubting of whom he spake. Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake. He then lying on Jesus' breast saith un one on an A. D. 33. MATT. XXVI. 23, 24. A. D. 33. to him, Lord, who is it? John xiii. 22 | Psal. xxii. 1-3. But I am a worm, -25. VER. 23. Ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς, εἶπεν· Ὁ ἐμβάψας μετ ̓ ἐμοῦ ἐν τῷ τρυβλίῳ τὴν χεῖρα, οὗτός με παραδώσει. And he answered and said, a He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. I a Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me, Psal. xli. 9. But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table, Luke xxii. 21. I speak not of you all: I know whom have chosen: but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me, John xiii. 18. Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly. Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him, 26-28. VER. 24. Ὁ μὲν υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ὑπάγει, καθὼς γέγραπται περὶ αὐτοῦ· οὐαὶ δὲ τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ ἐκείνῳ, δι' οὗ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου παραδίδοται· καλὸν ἦν αὐτῷ, εἰ οὐκ ἐγεννήθη ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐκεῖνος. The a Son of man goeth as it is written of him: b but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born. a But how then shall the Scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be? ver. 54. But all this was done, that the Scriptures of the prophets hets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled, 56. 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. My God, My God, Why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? O my God, I cry in the day-time, but thou hearest not, and in the night season, and am not silent. But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel, a 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: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him, 6-8. Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round. They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion. I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels. My strength is dried up like potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death. For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me. They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me. Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog. Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns, 12-21. The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back. I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting, Isa. 1. 5, 6. And after threescore 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, Dan. ix. 26. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn, Zech. xii. 10. Awake, O sword, 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. And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought, Mark ix. 12. Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken. Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? Luke xxiv. 25, 26. And said unto them, Thus it is written and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day, 46. After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst, John xix. 28. For these things were done, that the Scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken. And again another Scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced, 36, 37. For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him. And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain. And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre, Acts xiii. 27-29. And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the Scriptures, Opening and alledging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ, xvii. 2, 3. Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come: That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles, xxvi. 22, 23. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins ac A. D. 33. cording to the Scriptures, 1 Cor. xv. 3. Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you, by them that have preached the Gospel unto you, 1 Pet. i. 12. b Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! Matt. xviii. 7. Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the Chief Priests and elders, Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that, xxvii. 3-5. Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them, Psal. lv. 15. But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee, 23. Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand. When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin. Let his days be few; and let another take his office. Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places. Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour. Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children. Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out. Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth, cix. 6-15. The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born, Mark xiv. 21. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: |
