A. D. 31.

MATT. XIV. 1—5.

prophets was risen again. And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him, Luke ix. 7-9.

b Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,

Luke iii. 1.

VER. 2.

Καὶ εἶπε τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ· Οὗτός

ἐστιν Ἰωάννης ὁ Βαπτιστής· αὐτὸς ἠγέρθη

ἀπὸ τῶν νεκρῶν, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο αἱ δυνάμεις ἐνεργοῦσιν ἐν αὐτῷ.

And said unto his servants, a This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.

a Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist, notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he, Matt. xi. 11. And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets, xvi. 14. And they

answered, John the Baptist: but some say Elias; and others, One of the prophets, Mark viii. 28. And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake

of this man were true, John x. 41.

VER. 3.

Ο γὰρ Ηρώδης κρατήσας τὸν Ἰωάννην, ἔδησεν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἔθετο ἐν φυλακῇ, διὰ Ἡρωδιάδα τὴν γυναῖκα Φιλίππου τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ.

For a Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, bhis brother Philip's wife.

a See on clause 2. ver. 2. chap. xi. Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene, Luke iii. 1.

A. D. 31. For John said unto him,a It is not lawful for thee to have her.

a Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife, it is thy brother's nakedness, Lev. xviii. 16. And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it is an unclean thing: he hath uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless, xx. 21. For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife, Mark vi. 18.

VER. 5.

τὸν ὄχλον, ὅτι ὡς προφήτην αὐτὸν εἶχον. Καὶ θέλων αὐτὸν ἀποκτεῖναι, ἐφοβήθη

And a when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, b because they counted him as a prophet.

a Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not: For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him ; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly, Mark vỉ. 19, 20. After two days, was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread and the chief priests and the him by craft, and put him to death. scribes sought how they might take lest there be an uproar of the people, But they said, Not on the feast day, xiv. 1, 2. So when they had further ing nothing how they might punish threatened them, they let them go, findthem, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done, Acts iv. 21. Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence : for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned, v. 26.

b But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet. For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him, Matt. xxi. 26. 32. The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me. And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then Ἔλεγε γὰρ αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰωάννης· Οὐκ ἔξεστί did ye not believe him, But if we shall σοι ἔχειν αὐτήν. say, Of men; they feared the people;

for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed, Mark xi. 30-31. VER. 6.

Γενεσίων δὲ ἀγομένων του Ηρώδου, ὠρχήσατο ἡ θυγάτηρ τῆς Ἡρωδιάδος ἐν τῷ μέσῳ, καὶ ἤρεσε τῷ Ηρώδη.

But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.

a And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler, and of the chief baker among his servants, Gen. xl. 20. And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains and chief estates of Galilee. And when the daughter of the said Herodias, came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee, Mark vi. 21-23.

VER. 7.

Οθεν μεθ ̓ ὅρκου ὡμολόγησεν αὐτῇ δοῦναι ὁ ἐὰν αἰτήσηται.

Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.

VER. 8.

Ἡ δὲ, προβιβασθεῖσα ὑπὸ τῆς μητρὸς αὐτῆς· Δός μοι, φησὶν, ὧδε ἐπὶ πίνακι τὴν κεφαλὴν Ἰωάννου τοῦ Βαπτιστοῦ.

And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in bu charger.

a And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist, Mark vi. 24.

And his offering was one silver charger, the weight thereof was an hundred and thirty shekels, Numb. vii. 13. And this is the number of them: thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives, Ezra i. 9.

VER. 9.

Καὶ ἐλυπήθη ὁ βασιλεὺς· διὰ δὲ τοὺς ὅρκους, καὶ τοὺς συνανακειμένους, ἐκέλευσε δοθῆναι.

And the king was sorry: b never

A. D. 31.

theless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.

a And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet, ver. 5. For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly. And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her, Mark vi. 20. 26.

And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands, Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD's, and I will offer it up for a burnt-offering. And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned unto her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed : and she knew no man, Judges xi. 30, 31. 39.

VER. 10.

Καὶ πέμψας ἀπεκεφάλισε τὸν Ἰωάννην ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ.

And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.

a But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them, Matt. xvii. 12. And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. Again, he sent other servants more than the

first: and they did unto them likewise, xxi. 35, 36. And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding, and they would not come. Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: And the remnant took his ser

vants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them, xxii. 3-6. Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues; and persecute them from city to city. That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation, xxiii. 34-36. But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy, 2 Chron. xxxvi. 16. In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion, Jer. ii. 30. And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought : and

he went and beheaded him in the prison, And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother. And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb, Mark vi. 27-29. But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him, ix. 13. And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him, Luke ix. 9.

A. D. 31.

thine eyes and thine heart are not but for thy covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence to do it, Jer. xxii. 17. And say, What is thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions. And she brought up one of her whelps it became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men, Ezek. xix. 2, 3. Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GoD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: since thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee, xxxv. 6. For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy, Rev. xvi. 6. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration, xvii. 6.

a He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed. And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary,sitting over against the sepulchre, Matt. xxvii. 58-61. And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him, Acts viii. 2.

VER. 13.

Καὶ ἀκούσας ὁ Ἰησοῦς, ἀνεχώρησεν ἐκεῖθεν ἐν πλοίῳ εἰς ἔρημον τόπον κατ' ἰδίαν. Καὶ ἀκούσαντες οἱ ὄχλοι, ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ πεζῇ ἀπὸ τῶν πόλεων.

When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities,

Καὶ ἐξελθὼν ὁ Ἰησοῦς, εἶδε πολὺν ὄχλον·

A. D. 31.

MATT. XIV. 14—17.

A. D. 31.

καὶ ἐσπλαγχνίσθη ἐπ ̓ αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἐθερά- | μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ, λέγοντες· Ερημός ἐστιν ὁ πευσε τοὺς ἀῤῥώστους αὐτῶν.

And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.

a But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd, Matt. ix. 36. Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way, xv. 32. And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things, Mark vi. 34. In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them, I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat, viii. 1, 2. And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not, Luke vii. 13. And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, xix. | 41. When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see. Jesus wept, John xi. 33-35. 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. 17. For we have not an High Priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin, iv. 15. Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity, v. 2.

VER. 15.

Οψίας δὲ γενομένης, προσῆλθον αὐτῷ οἱ

τόπος, καὶ ἡ ὥρα ἤδη παρῆλθεν· ἀπόλυσον τοὺς ὄχλους, ἵνα ἀπελθόντες εἰς τὰς κώμας, ȧyogácsi kauтoïs BęŃμaтa.

And when it was evening, a his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.

a And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed, Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat, Mark vi. 35, 36. And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place, Luke ix. 12.

VER. 16.

Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Οὐ χρείαν ἔχουσιν ἀπελθεῖν· δότε αὐτοῖς ὑμεῖς φαγεῖν.

But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.

VER. 17.

Οἱ δὲ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· Οὐκ ἔχομεν ὧδε εἰ μὴ πέντε ἄρτους καὶ δύο ἰχθύας.

And they say unto him, aWe have here but five loaves, and two fishes.

a And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude? And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said,Seven, and a few fishes,

Matt. xv. 33, 34. And Moses said,

six hundred thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh, Shall the flocks and the herds be that they may eat a whole month. slain for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them? And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD's hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not, Num. xi. 21-23. He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And

they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat? He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes, Mark vi. 37, 38. And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness? And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, viii. 4, 5. But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people, Luke ix. 13. When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? And this he said to prove him for he himself knew what he would do. Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not: sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little. One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him, There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes but what are they among so many? John vi. 5-9.

VER. 18.

Ὁ δὲ εἶπε· Φέρετέ μοι αὐτοὺς ὧδε.
He said, Bring them hither to me.
VER. 19.

Καὶ κελεύσας τοὺς ὄχλους ἀνακλιθῆναι ἐπὶ τοὺς χόρτους, καὶ λαβὼν τοὺς πέντε ἄρτους καὶ τοὺς δύο ἰχθύας, ἀναβλέψας εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν, εὐλόγησε· καὶ κλάσας, ἔδωκε τοῖς μαθηταῖς τοὺς ἄρτους, οἱ δὲ μαθηταὶ τοῖς ὄχλοις.

And a he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

* And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground, Matt. xv. 35. And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass. And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties, Mark vi. 39, 40. And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave

A. D. 32.

thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people, viii. 6. For they were about five thousand men. Ánd he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company. And they did so, and made them all sit down, Luke ix. 14, 15. And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand, John vi. 10.

bAnd when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all, Mark vi. 41. And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened, vii. 34. Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude, Luke ix. 16. Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me, John xi. 41.

And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude, Matt. xv. 36. And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake said, Take, eat; this is my body. And it, and gave it to the disciples, and he took the cup, and gave thanks, and of it, xxvi. 26, 27. As soon as ye be gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all come into the city, ye shall straightway find him, before he go up to the high place to eat for the people will not eat until he come, because he doth bless the sacrifice; and afterwards they eat that be bidden. Now therefore get you up; for about this time ye shall find him, 1 Sam. ix. 13. And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people, Mark viii. 6. And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them,
