MATT. XXVII. 64-66.-xxvi. 1, 2. A. D. 33.

καὶ εἴπωσι τῷ λαῷ· Ηγέρθη ἀπὸ τῶν νεκρῶν· καὶ ἔσται ἡ ἐσχάτη πλάνη χείρων τῆς πρώτης.

Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.

VER. 2.

Καὶ ἰδοὺ, σεισμὸς ἐγένετο μέγας· ἄγ γελος γὰρ Κυρίου, καταβὰς ἐξ οὐρανοῦ, προσελθὼν ἀπεκύλισε τὸν λίθον ἀπὸ τῆς θύρας, καὶ ἐκάθητο ἐπάνω αὐτοῦ.

aAnd, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came und rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. *Or, had been.

a And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, and came out of the graves after his resurrec

So they went, and made the sepulchretion, and went into the holy city, and sure, a sealing the stone, and setting a watch.

a And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel, Dan. vi. 17.

CHAP. XXVIII.-VER. 1.

Ote di cabbátav, ty in μίαν σαββάτων, ἦλθε Μαρία ἡ Μαγδα ληνὴ, καὶ ἡ ἄλλη Μαρία, θεωρῆσαι τὸν τάφον.

In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the we k, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

a 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. And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun, Mark xvi. 1, 2. And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment, Luke xxiii. 56. Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them, xxiv. 1. Yea, and certain women also of our com

appeared unto many, Matt. xxvii. 51-53. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken : and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed, Acts xvi. 26. And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were

lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail, Rev. xi. 19.

b And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away for it was very great. And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted, Mark xvi. 3—5.' And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? Luke xxiv. 2-5. The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene. early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken

stone, and setting a watch, xxvii. 65, 66.

b Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake, Job iv. 14. Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail, Psal. xlviii. 6. And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell

̓͂Ην δὲ ἡ ἰδέα αὐτοῦ ὡς ἀστραπὴ, καὶ τὸ upon them, so that they fed to hide ἔνδυμα αὐτοῦ λευκὸν ὡσεὶ χιών.

a His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:

a And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light, Matt. xvii. 2. Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz. His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude, Dan. x. 5, 6. And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire, Rev. x. 1. And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory, xviii. 1.

And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them, Mark ix. 3. And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, Acts i. 10.

VER. 5.

̓Αποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ ἄγγελος, εἶπε ταῖς 'Ιησοῦν τὸν ἐσταυρωμένον ζητεῖτε. γυναιξί· Μὴ φοβεῖσθε ὑμεῖς· οἶδα γὰρ ὅτι

And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

a And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here, Mark xvi. 6. And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? Luke xxiv. 5. And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away, John xx. 13-15. Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be

̓Απὸ δὲ τοῦ φόβου αὐτοῦ ἐσείσθησαν οἱ heirs of salvation ? Heb. i. 14. τηροῦντες, καὶ ἐγένοντο ὡσεὶ νεκροί.

And for fear of him a the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.

a Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the Chief Priests all the things that were done, ver. 11. Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can. So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the

He is not here: a for he is risen, as he said. b Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

a See on chap. xvi. ver. 21. clause 3. b He is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him, Mark xvi. 6. Then arose Peter, and

ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass, Luke xxiv. 12. So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in. Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie, And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself. Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed. For as yet they knew not the Scripture, that he must rise again from the dead, John xx. 4-9.

a Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me, ver. 10. But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee : there shall ye see him, as he said unto you. And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed : neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid, Mark xvi. 7, 8. And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept, 10. And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed theyem, 13. And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest. It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles, Luke xxiv. 9, 10. Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early

at the sepulchre; And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive. And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said; but him they saw not, 22-24. Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her, John xx. 17, 18.

b Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. And when they saw him, they worshipped him but some doubted, ver. 16, 17. But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee, xxvi. 32. But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee, Mark. xiv. 28. After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself, John xxi. 1. After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep, 1 Cor. xv. 6.

And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe, John xiv. 29. VER. 8.

μετὰ φόβου καὶ χαρᾶς μεγάλης, ἔδραμον Καὶ ἐξελθοῦσαι ταχὺ ἀπὸ τοῦ μνημείου ἀπαγγεῖλαι τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ.

a And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

a And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled, and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid, Mark xvi. 8. And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? Behold my hands and

[blocks in formation]

my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet. And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? Luke xxiv. 36-41. Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy, John xvi. 20. And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you, 22. And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord. Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you my Father hath sent me, even so send I you, xx. 20, 21.

Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God, xx. 17. Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee, Rev. iii. 9.

And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted, ver. 17. And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, Luke xxiv. 52. And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God, John xx. 28. See also on chap. ii. ver. 2. clause 3. VER. 10.

a Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils. And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept, Mark xvi. 9, 10. And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master, John xx. 14 -16.

Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom, Matt. xvi. 28. Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: The LoRD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them ii. 6-9. Also I will make him my in pieces like a potter's vessel, Psal. first-born, higher than the kings of the earth, lxxxix. 27.

For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever.
