Genesis 1:4 — Dios vio la luz de que era bueno. ] - Mover él previó , entonces uno lo rinde. a Él vio esto mucho antes, pero quiere que lo veamos; nos encomia la bondad de esta obra suya. Seguramente buena es, y buena criatura: "dulce", dice Salomón; Eclesiastés 11: 7 "cómodo", dice David. Sal 97:11 Lo cual cuando uno hacía la pregunta: "Esa es la pregunta de un ciego", dijo el filósofo. b ¿Qué es entonces para disfrutarlo que es esencial para la luz? Los platónicos (que eran ciegos en divinis y no podían ver

Genesis 37:28 — mercaderes madianitas; y sacaron y sacaron a José del pozo, y vendieron a José a los ismaelitas por veinte [piezas] de plata; y llevaron a José a Egipto. Ver. 28. Por veinte piezas de plata. ] ¡Un buen precio! no todo el precio de un esclavo. Éxodo 21:32 Aquí "vendieron al justo por plata y al pobre por un par de zapatos". Amo 2: 6 El Hebreos nos dice, que de estos veinte piezas, cada diez de los hermanos tenían dos, comprar zapatos para sus pies una Y llevaron a José a Egipto.] Sin saber qué premio

Genesis 39:12 — Y ella lo agarró por su manto, diciendo: Acuéstate conmigo. Y él, dejando su manto en su mano, huyó y lo sacó. Ver. 12. Y ella lo agarró por su manto. ] Mediante toques desenfrenados y coqueteos, el adulterio mental se comete a menudo. El que "tocare a la mujer de su prójimo, no será inocente", dice Salomón.

Genesis 41:25 — Y José dijo a Faraón: El sueño de Faraón es uno: Dios le ha mostrado a Faraón lo que va a hacer. Ver. 25. El sueño de Faraón es uno. ] Uno en significación, pero diverso en cuanto a visión. Por qué se duplicó, Génesis 41:32. Las repeticiones en la Escritura no son tautologías, sino que sirven para exponernos la necesidad, excelencia o dificultad de lo reforzado. "Escribir" a los filipenses "las mismas cosas", a san Pablo, "no es penoso, y para ellos es seguro". Php

Genesis 45:1 — Entonces José no pudo contenerse ante todos los que estaban a su lado; y lloró: Haz que todos salgan de mí. Y no había nadie con él, mientras José se daba a conocer a sus hermanos. Ver. 1. Entonces José no pudo contenerse. ] Jesús tampoco, en las aflicciones extremas de sus hermanos, Isa 42:14 debe llorar como una mujer de parto; que, aunque muerde su dolor por un tiempo, no puede contenerlo por mucho tiempo. Cuando el hijo mudo de Creso

Nahum 1:2 — God [is] jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and [is] furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth [wrath] for his enemies. God is jealous — See Trapp on " Zechariah 1:14 " And the Lord revengeth, the Lord revengeth — As he is Pater miserationum to his people, a father of mercies, and God of consolation; so to his and their enemies he is a most sure and severe revenger: Deus ultionum, as David calleth him,

Zephaniah 3:18 — fall. No sword of a Philistine could have slain him more painfully; neither is it easy to say whether his neck or heart were first broken. Who are of thee — True children of the Church, as appeareth by their strong affections to the ordinances, 1 Peter 2:2 . Luther said he would not live in paradise without the word; as with it he could easily live in hell. An infant cannot be quieted with gauds One of the larger and more ornamental beads placed between the decades of ‘aves’ in a

Zechariah 10:3 — in the battle. Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds — Pastores Impostores; the greedy priests and false prophets, main causes of the captivity; because through their default there was no knowledge nor fear of God in the land, Isaiah 5:13 Hosea 4:6-7 Jeremiah 23:1 Ezekiel 34:1 . And I punished the goats — The grandees and governors, temporal and ecclesiastical, see Ezekiel 34:17 . They should have been as the he goats before the flock, Jeremiah 50:8 , worthy guides to God. But

Zechariah 7:14 — no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate. But I scattered them with a whirlwind — This is the second part of their punishment. The first was no audience or help from heaven at their greatest need, Zechariah 7:13 . This was the curse of Saul, 1 Samuel 28:15 ; of Moab, Isaiah 16:12 ; of David’s enemies, Psalms 18:41 . The next now is, they were dejected and dissipated, as the dust of the mountains before a whirlwind; cast out of their native soil, and

Matthew 1:7 — Esset alias, si esset apud alios (Bucholcer). But a man would wonder, that by so many wives Solomon should have but one son, and him none the wisest either. Heroum filii noxae, He might (likely) bewail his own unhappiness in Rehoboam, Ecclesiastes 2:18-19 , as he is thought to do in Jeroboam, Proverbs 20:21 . His mother was an Ammonitess: the birth follows the belly: the conclusion follows the weaker proposition. And Roboam begat Abia — A man not right, yet better than his father: and for this

Matthew 10:32 — who are therefore said to be marked in their foreheads,Revelation 7:3; Revelation 7:3 , an open place: and they that will not profess him shall be sorted with such as through excess of pain, and defect of patience, gnaw their own tongues, Revelation 16:10 . Antichrist takes it in as good part, if his bond-slaves receive his mark in their hand only; the which, as occasion serveth, they may cover or reveal, Revelation 13:16 . He lets his use what decption they will, so it may help to amplify his kingdom.

Matthew 17:17 — bring him hither to me. O faithless and perverse generation — He reproves the nine disciples, but rejects them not. Christ in the very dunghill of unbelief and sinfulness can find out his own part of faith and holiness, as we see in Sarah, Genesis 18:12 . That whole speech of hers was vile and profane (besides that for want of faith she laughed at the unlikelihood, and was therefore checked by the angel). One thing only was praise worthy in that sinful sentence, that she called her husband Lord:

Matthew 19:24 — sat in that chair of pestilence, being that man of sin, that son of perdition, 2 Thessalonians 2:3 . Ad hunc statum venit Romana Ecclesia, said Petrus Aliacus, long since, ut non esset digna regi nisi per reprobos (Cornel. a Lapide, Com. in Numbers 11:11 ). The popes, like the devils, are then thought to do well when they cease to do hurt, saith Johan. Sarisburiensis. They have had so much grace left, we see (some of them, however), as to acknowledge that their good and their blood rose together,

Matthew 7:29 — the scribes. For he taught them as one having authority — Never man spake as he spake, said those catch poles that came to take him, but were taken by him. For matter, his doctrine was not his own, but his Father’s that sent him, John 7:16 . For manner, this prince of preachers had the tongue of the learned, Isaiah 50:4 ; yet without ostentation of learning he delivered himself so plainly that the simplest might conceive him, and so powerfully that his enemies could not but confess that

Matthew 9:2 — to make a man everlastingly merry. Viscount Lisle, in Henry VIII’s time, died for joy of an unexpected pardon from his prince. How great then is the comfort of pardon from God! Such are bidden to be glad, rejoice, and shout for joy, Psalms 32:1 ; Psalms 32:11 . And all others flatly forbidden to take any comfort, Hosea 9:1 . Etiamsi tibi laeta obveniant omnia, non est tamen quod laeteris. (Ribera.) Thy sins are forgiven thee — And yet his disease remained upon him for some while after.

John 10:10 — mouth, as of illumination, revelation, deification, the inward and spiritual man. (Scultet. Annal.) Some are so cunning in their cogging the dice, as St Paul phraseth it, εν τη κυβεια , Ephesians 4:14 ; in the conveyance of their collusion, that, like serpents, they can sting without hissing; like cur dogs, suck your blood only with licking; and in the end kill you and cut your throats without biting. Muzzle them therefore, saith St Paul, and give

John 15:5 — I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. The same bringeth forth much fruit — Christ is a generous vine, a plant of renown; and all his are "filled with the fruits of righteousness,"Philippians 1:11; Philippians 1:11 , have hearts full of goodness, as those Romans 15:14 , and lives full of good works, as Tabitha, Acts 9:33 . In Bucholcero vivida omnia fuerunt; vivida vox, vividi oculi, vividae manus, gestus omnes vividi. (Melch. Ad. in Vita.)

John 8:44 — … And abode not in the truth — Si Satan in conspectu Dei tantas res ausus est, quid apud nos non audebit? (Bucholcer.) When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own — And so when we do evil, we work de nostro, et secundum hominem, 1 Corinthians 3:3 . It is as impossible for us naturally to do good as for a toad to spit cordials. For he is a liar, and the father of it — The devil did only equivocate to our first parents, and yet is here called a liar, and 2 Corinthians 11:3

Joshua 21:1 — Entonces se acercaron los jefes de los padres de los levitas al sacerdote Eleazar, a Josué hijo de Nun, ya los jefes de los padres de las tribus de los hijos de Israel; Ver. 1. Entonces se acercó a los jefes de los padres. ] Algunos opinan que los jefes de los sacerdotes y los levitas exigieron aquí lo que les correspondía cuando no se pensaba en ellos, pero por gran descuido fueron pasados ​​por alto en la división. Pero

2 Samuel 12:24 — Dios había perdonado su pecado, ratificado su matrimonio y sellado de otra manera su amor por ellos, ella es llamada esposa de David; y él, como un buen esposo, la consuela con las comodidades con las que él mismo había sido consolado por Dios, 2 Cor 1: 4, que sin duda fue el efecto de sus siete días de ayuno; como también lo fue su tan paciente y pacífica sobrellevar la muerte del niño, para admiración de sus consejeros, que no conocían el poder de oración, ni "la paz de Dios sobrepasa todo entendimiento",
