24. and having gone forth, she said unto her mother, what should I ask. And the mother said the head of John that baptizes,

25. and having come in straightway with haste, unto the king, she asked saying, I will, in order that immediately thou shouldst have given to me, in a charger, the head of John the Baptist,

26. though the king having been exceeding sorry, on account of the oath and them that sit with him, he desired not to have rejected her,

27. but immediately the king having sent an executioner, he commanded to bring his head,

28. so having departed he beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head, in a charger, and gave

561

it to the damsel, and the damsel gave it to her mother. 29. And his disciples having heard, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it, in a tomb,

30. then the apostles are assembled by the Jesus, and they told him all things, whatsoever they did, and whatsoever they taught,

31. and he says unto them, come, ye yourselves,

333

in private, into a desert place, and rest awhile. For

not having leisure not even to have eaten,

559,1. Whatsoever thou shouldst have asked of me. Literally, Without any limitation; whereas &c., With propriety demand of me; hence, in the limit of my power; hence &c., 321.

561. And the damsel gave it. Literally, Personally did what is stated; whereas &c., Directed the head to be given; hence &c., 322,1.

562. They were not having leisure &c. Literally, Absolutely prevented from doing it; whereas &c., They had not time for proper refreshment of themselves; hence &c., 321.

562,1. And he divided to all the two fishes. Literally, What is stated; whereas &c., The two fishes by his miraculous power appeared to be divided amongst them all; hence &c., 321.

16 & 17. and when having entered into a house, from the people, his disciples were asking him the parable,

18. and he saith unto them. Thus even ye without understanding exist, ye do not perceive, that every thing that from without entereth into the man, it is not able him to have defiled,

19. because it entereth not into him, into the heart, but into the belly, and into the drought, it goeth out, cleansing the man of all the meats.

498

20. Also he said, that that proceedeth out of the man, that defileth the mau.

........

498

21. For from within out of the heart of the man, the thoughts that are evil proceed, fornications, thefts, murders,

22. adulteries, covetousnesses, wickednesses, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness,

568. For Moses said. Literally, Personally originated; whereas &c., Was instructed to command; hence &c., 322,1. 569. See Matthew xv. 4.

571. Of whom her young daughter &c. Literally I conceive, An active possession of some existence by the daughter; whereas &c.

322,2

27. but he said unto her, permit first to have been filled the children. For not meet it is to have taken the children's bread, and unto the dogs to have cast.

494

28. And the woman answered, and says unto him, truth Lord, yet the dogs, under the table, eat of the children's crumbs,

572

29. then he said unto her, on account of this the saying, depart, the devil hath gone out of thy daughter,

30. and having come to her house, she found the child having been laid on the bed, and the devil having departed,

31. and again having departed from the coasts of Tyre, he went through Sidon unto the sea of the Galilee, through midst of the coast of Decapolis,

32. and they bring unto him a deaf person, and a stammerer, and they beseech him, in order that he should have put on him the hand,

33. and having been received by him, from the multitude, in private, he put his fingers, into his ears, and having spit, he touched his tongue,

34. and having looked up unto the heaven, he

Passive, She was acted on in being afflicted with the disease; hence &c., 321.

572. The devil hath gone out of your daughter. Literally, Some existence hath left her; whereas &c., She no longer suffers from disease; hence &c., 321.

9. And about four thousand they were, and he sent away them,

10. and straightway he having entered into the ship, with his disciples, he came into the parts of Dalmanutha,

11. then the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign, from the heaven, tempting him,

12. and having sighed deeply in his spirit, he says, why does this generation seek a sign. Verily I say, that there will be given through this generation a sign,

13. and having left them again, having gone on board, he departed to the other side,

14. now they neglected to have taken bread, and except one loaf they were not holding for themselves, in the ship,

15. and he was charging them, saying, take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod,

16. then they were considering among one another, why they have not bread,

17. but having knowledge, he says unto them, why do ye consider, why ye have not bread, not yet

210

23. and having taken the hand of the blind man,
he brought him, out of the town, and having spit
on his eyes, having placed the hands on him, he was
asking him, if any thing thou seest,

24. and having looked up, he said, I see the men
though as trees, I see them walking about,

25. then again he put the hands, on his eyes, and
he looked up, and was restored, and saw clearly all
things,

26. then he sent away him, unto his house,
saying, not even into the town, thou shouldst have
gone,

382

579. He shall touch him. Literally, Merely touch; whereas &c.,
So touch as to obtain a cure; hence &c., 321.
580. See Matthew xvi. 13.
581. See Matthew xvi. 20.
581,1. It behoveth the son of man many things to have suffered
&c. Let this be noted, it is not here said, It behoveth the son
of man to suffer; but, To have suffered many things, even; not,
To be killed, but, To have been killed; yet after three days, not,
To rise again, but, To have risen again. After three days has been
completed, the act referred to must have been completed; it would
be untrue to say, After three days has been completed, he will com-
plete the act, i e he will rise again; hence this passage quite agrees
with Matt. xvi. 21, Yet to have been raised the third day, and Matt.
xx. 19, He will rise again the third day, and all the records of this
event, which are as follows, Matt. xvi. 21, xvii. 23, xx. 19, xxvi. 61,
xxvii. 40, xxviii. 63, Mark viii. 31, ix. 31, x. 34, xiv. 58, xv. 29,
Luke ix. 22, xiii. 32, xviii. 33, xxiv. 7, 21 and 46, John ii. 19, Acts
x. 40, 1 Cor. xv. 4. Hence when it is truly expressed in a record,
that an act is done, After so many days, that act can only be referred
to, as done on that number of day, which succeeds the number of
that on which the act is recorded to have been done after. Thus
Hosea vi. 2, He will revive us after two days, On the day that is
third he will raise us up. To this 2 Chron. x. 5 is no objection, it
is not, Come again after three days, but, Come again during or in
three days. Whitby's objection founded on Matt. xxviii. 63 has no
weight, as it exists alone in an erroneous conception. By verse 62

32. and openly he was speaking the word, but the
Peter having taken him, he began to rebuke him.
33. But the Jesus having been turned about, and
having looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter,
and says, get behind me Satan, for thou savorest not
the things of the God, but the things of the men,

we learn, that the application was made to Pilate, not, on the day
that our Blessed Lord was crucified, but, on the day that followed it;
hence an application to have a watch from that day, Until the third
day after it, renders void the whole of his objection. Also his objec-
tion founded on Deut. xiv. 28 has no weight, the Sense being to this
effect, After three years thou shalt bring forth all, that is, thou shalt
complete &c.; all could not be done, till after the third year was com-
pleted, and might be doing during the whole of the years being com-
pleted; hence in accordance with Deut. xxvi. 12, The third year, might
be, and was, the year of tything, without being in any manner incon-
sistent with what is stated, Deut. xiv. 28. Again Whitby's ob-
jection founded on Deut. xxxi. 10, is, in my opinion, of no weight.
After seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, I conceive
means, In the solemnity of the year of release &c, which is held,
After the completion of the seventh year, which Sense admits Deut.
xv. 12 to be understood as Translated, without in any manner
opposing what is advanced in Deut. xxxi. 10.

582. And openly he was speaking the word. Literally, He pro-
claimed it in public assembly; whereas &c., He spoke it without
reserve among the Apostles; hence &c., 321.

582,1. Jesus. I think this has been accidentally omitted.
582,2. If any wills after me to have come. Literally, Simply
wishes; whereas &c., Strives; hence &c., 322,1.
582,3. Lost the life of himself. Literally, That which is abso-
lutely his; whereas &c., The portion of it that he has in this world;
hence &c., 321.
