ly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort ; and in secret have I said nothing. Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said, xviii. 20, 21. VER. 56.

Τοῦτο δὲ ὅλον γέγονεν, ἵνα πληρωθῶσιν αἱ γραφαὶ τῶν προφητῶν. Τότε οἱ μαθηταὶ πάντες, ἀφέντες αὐτὸν, ἔφυγον.

But all this was done, that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.

a That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; Isa. xliv. 26. Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain, Acts ii. 23. See also on chap. i. ver. 22.

VER. 57.

Οἱ δὲ κρατήσαντες τὸν Ἰησοῦν, ἀπήγαγον πρὸς Καϊάφαν τὸν ἀρχιερέα, ὅπου οι γραμ ματεῖς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι συνήχθησαν.

VER. 58.

A. D. 33.

Ὁ δὲ Πέτρος ἠκολούθει αὐτῷ ἀπὸ μακ ρόθεν, ἕως τῆς αὐλῆς τοῦ ἀρχιερέως· καὶ εἰσελθὼν ἔσω, ἐκάθητο μετὰ τῶν ὑπηρετῶν, i Tò TÉλOÇ.

a But Peter followed him afar off unto the High Priest's palace, and went in, and sut with the servants, to see the end.

a And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple : that disciple was known unto the High Priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the High Priest. But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out

that other disciple which was known unto the High Priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter, John xviii. 15, 16. And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not, 25.

VER. 59.

Οἱ δὲ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι καὶ τὸ συνέδριον ὅλον ἐζητουν ψευδομαρτυρίαν κατὰ τοῦ Ἰησοῦ, ὅπως αὐτὸν θανατώσωσι·

Now the Chief Priests, and elders, and all the council, a sought false witAnd a they that had laid hold on Jesusness against Jesus, to put him to death; led him away to Caiaphas the High Priest, where the Scribes and the elders were assembled,

And they led Jesus away to the High Priest: and with him were assembled all the Chief Priests and the elders and the Scribes. And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the High Priest; and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire, Mark xiv. 53, 54. Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the High Priest's house. And Peter followed afar off. And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them, Luke xxii. 54, 55. Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him, And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the High Priest that same year. Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people, John xviii. 12-14. Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the High Priest, 24.

a Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty, Psal. xxvii. 12. False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not. They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul: xxxv. 11, 12. Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law? They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood, xciv. 20, 21. A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow, Prov. xxv. 18. And the Chief Priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none. For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together, Mark xiv. 55, 56. Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God. And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the Scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to

VER. 60.

Καὶ οὐχ εὗρον. Καὶ πολλῶν ψευδομαρτύρων προσελθόντων, οὐχ εὗρον. Ὕστερον δὲ προσελθόντες δύο ψευδομάρτυρες,

But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. b At the last came two false witnesses,

a Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in

We shall him. Then said these men, not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God, Dan. vi. 4, 5. Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you, Tit. ii. 8. Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evil doers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ, 1 Pet. iii. 16.

b One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established, Deut. xix. 15. And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying, We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands. But neither so did their witness agree together, Mark xiv. 57-59.

VER. 61.

Εἶπον· Οὗτος ἔφη· Δύναμαι καταλύσαι τὸν ναὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ διὰ τριῶν ἡμερῶν οἰκοδομῆσαι αὐτόν.

And said, aThis fellow said, bi am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.

And say, Thus saith the king, Put
this fellow in the prison, and feed
him with bread of affliction and with
water of affliction, until I come in
peace, 1 Kings xxii. 27. 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, Psal. xxii.
6, 7. Thus saith the LORD, the re-
deemer of Israel, and his Holy One,
to him whom man despiseth, to him
whom the nation abhorreth, to a ser-
vant of rulers, kings shall see and
arise, princes also shall worship,
because of the LORD that is faithful,
and the Holy One of Israel, and he
shall choose thee, Isa. xlix. 7. He
is despised and rejected of men; a
man of sorrows, and acquainted with
grief: and we hid as it were our
faces from him he was despised
and we esteemed him not, liii. 3.

And they began to accuse him, say-
ing, We found this fellow perverting
the nation, and forbidding to give
tribute to Cæsar, saying that he him-
self is Christ a King, Luke xxiii. 2.
We know that God spake unto Mo-
ses: as for this fellow, we know not
from whence he is, John ix. 29.

And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross, Matt. xxvii. 40. And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, Mark xv. 29. Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? But he spake of the temple of his body, John ii. 19-21. And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law, Acts vi. 13.

MATT. XXVI. 62-64.

And the High Priest arose, and said unto him, a Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

a And when he was accused of the Chief Priests and elders, he answered nothing. Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee? "And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly, Matt. xxvii. 12-14. And the High Priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? What is it which these witness against thee? Mark xiv. 60. Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing, Luke xxiii. 9. The High Priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine. Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing. Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said. And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the High Priest so? Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me? John xviii. 19-23. And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee? Jesus answered, thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin, xix. 9-11. VER. 63.

Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἐσιώπα. Καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς, εἶπεν αὐτῷ· Εξορκίζω σε κατὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ ζῶντος, ἵνα ἡμῖν εἴπης, εἰ σὺ εἶ ὁ Χριστὸς, ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ.

But a Jesus held his peace. And the High Priest answered and said unto | him, b I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be c the Christ, the Son of God.

A. D. 33. lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long. But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth. Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs, Psal. xxxviii. 12—14. 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, Isa. liii. 7. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter, Dan. iii. 16. The place of the Scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth: In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth. And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man? Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same Scripture, and preached unto him Jesus, Acts viii. 32-35. Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously, 1 Pet. ii. 23.

bAnd if a soul sin, and hear the voice of swearing, and is a witness, whether he hath seen or known of it; if he do not utter it, then he shall bear his iniquity, Lev. v. 1. And the king said unto him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the name of the LORD? 1 Kings xxii. 16. Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing and bewrayeth it not, Prov. xxix. 24.

a Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said, ver. 25. And Jesus stood before the

governor : and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest, xxvii. 11. And Jesus said, I am and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven, Mark xiv. 62. Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am, Luke xxii. 70. Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice, John xviii. 37.

Then the High Priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.

And he that is the High Priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor

rend his clothes, Lev. xxi. 10. Then the High Priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses? Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death, Mark xiv. 63, 64.

b If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the Scripture cannot be broken ; Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and

a And the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the name of the LORD, and cursed. And they brought him unto Moses, (and his mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan:) And they put him in ward, that the mind of the LORD might be shewed them. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him. And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin. And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the LORD, shall be put to death, Lev. xxiv. 11-16. The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God, John xix. 7. Which of the prophets have not your slain them which shewed before of the fathers persecuted? and they have coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and

murderers, Acts vii. 52. For they

that dwell at Jerusalem, and their

And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain, and killed the Just; and he doth not xiii. 27, 28. Ye have condemned you, James v. 6.

a And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head, Matt. xxvii. 30. Then shall his brother's wife come unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto that man that will not build up his brother's house, Deut. xxv. 9. And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword. They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face. Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me, Job xxx. 9-11. 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. 6. As many were astonished at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men, lii. 14. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not, liii. 3. And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy; and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands, Mark xiv. 65. And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him, xv. 19. Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the earth, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day, 1 Cor. iv. 13.

a And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads, and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross. Likewise also the Chief Priests mocking him, with the Scribes and elders, said, He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God. The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth, Matt. xxvii. 39-44. And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh. Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams, Gen. xxxvii. 19, 20. And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make us sport. And they called for Samson out of the prison-house; and he made them sport: and they set him between the pillars, Judg. xvi. 25. And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him. And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee? And many other things blasphemously spake they against him, Luke xxii. 68–65.

bAnd they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! Matt. xxvii. 28, 29. And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews! And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him,
