2 Kings 23:4 — those of the second course or order established by David: though it does not appear that those orders were now in use, yet the distinction was continued even to the time of our Lord.

John 20:14 — llegado a salir del huerto. No sabía que era Jesús... Juan ha omitido aquí lo que los ángeles dijeron a las mujeres, acerca de que Cristo había resucitado; probablemente porque los otros evangelistas lo relataron de manera tan particular: Mateo 28:5; Marco 16:6; Lucas 24:5. María estaba tan absorta en su dolor que no prestó mucha atención a la persona de nuestro Señor, y por lo tanto, al principio no discernió que se trataba de él; tampoco podía imaginar que tal aparición fuera posible, ya que

It is by the just judgment of God, that those who will not believe the truth of God shall be so given up as to believe the most absurd of lies. For an account of these false Christs, Matthew 24:5.

John 5:5 — Verse John 5:5. Had an infirmity thirty and eight years. — St. Chrysostom conjectured that blindness was the infirmity of this person: what it was, the inspired writer does not say - probably it was a palsy: his case was deplorable - he was not able to go
