Genesis 11:4 — tongues, is given by several ancient authors. Herodotus saw the tower and described it. A sybil, whose oracle is yet extant, spoke both of it and of the confusion of tongues; so did Eupolemus and Abydenus. See Bochart Geogr. Sacr., lib. i., c. 13, edit. 1692. On this point Bochart observes that these things are taken from the Chaldeans, who preserve many remains of ancient facts; and though they often add circumstances, yet they are, in general, in some sort dependent on the text.1. They say Babel was

Isaiah 53:1 — Dios que es el meritorio, causa de que obtengamos el perdón y la salvación, 4-6. Muestra la mansedumbre y plácida sumisión con que sufrió una muerte violenta e injusta, con las circunstancias de morir con los impíos y ser sepultado con los grandes, 7-9; y que, como consecuencia de su expiación, muerte, resurrección, e intercesión, que otorgaba el perdón y la salvación a las multitudes, aseguraría una creciente prosperidad a su Iglesia y finalmente triunfaría sobre todos sus enemigos, 10, 11. Este

Matthew 24:34 — Vespasian, or the year of Christ 70. Ant. b. vi. c. 10.That was the end of the siege of Jerusalem, which began, as Josephus several times observes, about the fourteenth day of the month Nisan, or our April.

Luke 1:35 — shrine which God was now preparing for it, viz. the holy thing that was to be born of the virgin. Two natures must ever be distinguished in Christ: the human nature, in reference to which he is the Son of God and inferior to him, Mark 13:32; John 5:19; John 14:28, and the Divine nature which was from eternity, and equal to God, John 1:1; John 10:30; Romans 9:5; Colossians 1:16-18. It is true, that to Jesus the Christ, as he appeared among men, every characteristic of the Divine nature is sometimes

Luke 1:35 — santuario que Dios preparaba ahora para ella, es decir, la cosa santa que iba a nacer de la virgen. Hay que distinguir siempre dos naturalezas en Cristo: la naturaleza humana, en referencia a la cual es el Hijo de Dios e inferior a él, Marco 13:32; Juan 5:19; Juan 14:28, y la Naturaleza divina que fue de eternidad , e igual a Dios, Juan 1:1; Juan 10:30; Romanos 9:5; Colosenses 1:16. Es cierto que a Jesús el Cristo, tal como apareció entre los hombres, se le atribuyen a veces todas las características

John 6:27 — Christ to be without spot or blemish, and therefore sealed, pointed out and accepted him, as a proper sacrifice and atonement for the sin of the whole world. Collate with this passage, Hebrews 7:26-28; Ephesians 5:27; 2 Peter 3:14; and especially Hebrews 9:13-14: For if the blood of BULLS and of goats, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth - how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself WITHOUT SPOT to God, purge your consciences from dead

John 6:27 — Jesucristo sin mancha ni defecto, y por lo tanto lo selló, lo señaló y lo aceptó, como un sacrificio apropiado y una expiación por el pecado de todo el mundo.

Acts 10:1 — directs him to send to Joppa, for Peter, to instruct him in the way of salvation, 1-6. He sends accordingly, 7, 8.

The messengers arrive at the house of Simon the tanner, and deliver their message, 17-22. They lodge there that night, and on the morrow Peter accompanies them to Caesarea, where they find Cornelius and his friends assembled, waiting the coming

Acts 7:51 — found, where the heart was prone to iniquity, and the ears impatient of reproof and counsel, the person is represented as uncircumcised in those parts, because devoted to iniquity, impatient of reproof, and refusing to obey.
