Psalms 46:3 — 3 Aunque sus aguas rugen, etc. Este versículo debe leerse en relación con el siguiente, porque es necesario completar el sentido, como si se había dicho: Aunque las aguas del mar rugen y se hinchan, y por su feroz impetuosidad sacuden las mismas montañas,

Isaiah 53:11 — de la Ley; porque aunque la Ley muestra lo que es ser justo, Pablo afirma que es imposible que la justicia sea obtenida por ella, y la experiencia prueba lo mismo; porque la ley es un espejo en el que contemplamos nuestra propia injusticia. ( Romanos 3:20.) Ahora, la doctrina que Cristo enseña, en cuanto a obtener justicia, no es más que "el conocimiento de él"; y esto es fe, cuando aceptamos el beneficio de su muerte y confiamos plenamente en él. Los filósofos han establecido muchos preceptos excelentes

Matthew 17:10 — hecho, hay cierta plausibilidad en ese error, ya que surge de un verdadero principio. La Escritura también habla de una primera y una segunda venida del Mesías; porque promete que será un Redentor, para expiar con su sacrificio los pecados del mundo (483) Y tal es la importancia de las siguientes profecías: Alégrate, hija de Sión, mira, tu Rey viene, pobre, sentado en un asno, ( Zacarías 9:9.) Lo vimos, y no tenía forma ni belleza, y se parecía a un leproso, por lo que no teníamos aprecio por él,

Matthew 20:23 — 23.You shall indeed drink my cup. As they were disciples, it was proper that they should be assimilated to their Master. Christ warns them of what will take place, that they may be prepared to endure it with patience; and, in the persons of two men, he

Matthew 3:16 — account. Yet I do not hesitate to admit that Christ also, so far as he was man, received from it additional certainty as to his heavenly calling. This appears to be the tendency of the words of Luke: while Jesus was praying, the heaven was opened, (Luke 3:21:) for, though his prayers were always directed towards the benefit of others, yet as man, when he commenced a warfare of so arduous a description, he needed to be armed with a remarkable power of the Spirit. But here two questions arise. The first

Matthew 3:3 — Matthew 3:3.The yoke of one crying in the wilderness Though this passage of the prophet Isaiah (40:3) ought not to be limited exclusively to John, yet he is one of the number of those to whom it certainly refers. After having spoken of the destruction of the

Mark 16:19 — whole world, says nothing about his ascension to heaven. Mark, too, takes no notice of the place and the manner, both of which are described by Luke; for he says that the disciples were led out to Bethany, that from the Mount of Olives, (Matthew 24:3,) whence he had descended to undergo the ignominy of the cross, he might ascend the heavenly throne. Now as he did not, after his resurrection, appear indiscriminately to all, so he did not permit all to be the witnesses of his ascension to heaven;

Mark 3:20 — Mark 3:20.And they come into the house. Mark undoubtedly takes in a somewhat extended period of time, when he passes from the miracles to that wicked conspiracy which the relatives of Christ formed with each other, to bind him as if he had been a madman. Matthew

Luke 1:15 — the world would acknowledge him to be a continual Nazarite. The priests too abstained from wine and strong drink, while they were performing their duties in the temple, (Leviticus 10:9.) The same abstinence was enjoined on the Nazarites, (Numbers 6:3,) until their vow should be fulfilled. By a striking mark God showed that John was dedicated to him to be a Nazarite for his whole life, as we learn was also the case with Samson, (Judges 13:3.) But we must not on this ground imagine that the worship

Luke 1:15 — la cual el mundo lo reconocería. ser un nazareo continuo. Los sacerdotes también se abstuvieron del vino y la bebida fuerte, mientras realizaban sus deberes en el templo, ( Levítico 10:9.) La misma abstinencia fue impuesta a los nazareos, ( Números 6:3, ) hasta que se cumpla su voto. Por una marca llamativa, Dios mostró que Juan se dedicó a él para ser un nazareo durante toda su vida, como sabemos también fue el caso con Sansón, ( Judas 13: 3 .) Pero no debemos, por este motivo, imaginar que la adoración

Luke 3:1 — Lucas 3:1 . Cuando Poncio Pilato era gobernador de Judea Es probable que este fuera el segundo año del gobierno de Pilato: porque desde que Tiberio había ocupado las riendas del gobierno, él, como nos informa Josefo, (xviii. 2: 2,) nombró a Valerius Gratus

Luke 3:2 — Lucas 3:2 . Annas y Caifás son los sumos sacerdotes Es cierto, que nunca hubo dos personas que ocuparon el cargo de sumo sacerdote en al mismo tiempo. Josefo afirma que Valerio Gratus hizo sumo sacerdote a Caifás, poco tiempo antes de abandonar el gobierno.

John 1:33 — 33.Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending. Here a difficult question arises; for if John did not know Christ, why does he refuse to admit him to baptism? To a person whom he did not know he would not say, I ought rather to be baptized by thee,

John 15:23 — 23.He who hateth me hateth my Father also. This is a remarkable passage, which teaches us that no man can hate the doctrine of the Gospel without manifesting his impiety against God. There are many, indeed, who profess differently in words; for, though

John 3:14 — туманность. Христос выставлен перед всеми, и взгляд веры, внемлющей проповеди, видит Христа так, как будто Он Сам предстоит перед человеческим взором. Павел также говорит, что во время проповеди Христос ярко живописуется со Своей крестной жертвой (Galatians 3:1). Уподобление сие вовсе не натянуто и не искусственно. Змей выглядел змеем чисто внешне, внутри же он не был смертелен и ядовит. Так и Христос облекся в образ греховной плоти, на самом деле чистой и свободной от греха, дабы исцелить нанесенную нам

Romans 3:26 — was the fruition of him by faith. It hence follows, that all were unjust and lost in themselves, until a remedy from heaven was offered to them. (122) (121) There is a different preposition used here, πρὸς, while εἰς is found in the preceding verse. The meaning seems to be the same, for both prepositions are used to designate the design, end, or object of any thing. This variety seems to have been usual with the Apostle; similar instances are found in

Romans 6:17 — izquierda. Pero gracias a Dios; porque habéis sido siervos del pecado, pero habéis obedecido la forma de la doctrina, en la que habéis sido enseñados. - Ed. La palabra τύπος, se representa en Juan 20:25, print, es decir, de las uñas, - en Hechos 7:43, en plural, fiqures, es decir , imágenes, - en Hechos 7:44, moda, es decir, patrón o modelo, - en Hebreos 8:5, patrón, - en Hechos 23:25, manera, que es, forma, - en Romanos 5:14, figura, es decir, representativa, - en Tito 2: 7 , patrón; y en

Galatians 1:4 — equal propriety, ascribed in other parts of Scripture to God the Father; for, on the one hand, the Father, by an eternal purpose, decreed this atonement, and gave this proof of his love to us, that he “spared not his only-begotten Son, (Romans 8:32,) but delivered him up for us all;” and Christ, on the other hand, offered himself a sacrifice in order to reconcile us to God. Hence it follows, that his death is the satisfaction for sins. (15) That he might deliver us. He likewise declares

Ephesians 4:3 — 3.Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit. With good reason does he recommend forbearance, as tending to promote the unity of the Spirit. Innumerable offenses arise daily, which might produce quarrels, particularly when we consider the extreme bitterness

Hebrews 13:5 — as we have such a helper there is no cause to fear. For in this way it can be that no depraved desires will importune us; for faith alone is that which can quiet the minds of men, whose disquietude without it is too well known. (278) See Appendix B 3. (279) See Appendix C 3.
