Chapter 339
V. 5. So also Christ glorified not
himself to be naade an high priest ; but he that said unto him. Thou art my Son, to-day have I begotten thee, Ver. 6. As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for erer, af- ter the order of Melchisedec : Ver. 7. Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and sup- plications, with strong crying and tears, unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared. Heb. vii. 25. Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come un-
. to God by him, seeing he ever liv- eth to make intercession for them. Ps;il. iu 6. Yet have I set my King upon my holy hill of Zion. Isa. ix. G. For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given, and the government shall be upon his shoulder : and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, Ihe everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Ver. 7. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of Da- vid, and upon his kmgdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice, from henceforth, even for ever : the zt al of the Lord of hosts will perform this. Mat. Jtxi. 5. Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto tliee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass. Psal. ii. 8. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the 20
uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Ver. 9. Thou shalr break them with a rod of iron, thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's veswiL Ver. 10. Be wise now there- fore, O ye kings : be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Ver. 11. Serve the liord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
'J4. " John i. 18. No man hath seen God at any time ; the only be- gotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. 1 Pet. i. 10. Of which salvation the proph'jts have enquired, and search- ed diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you : Ver. 11. Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. Ver. 1 i?. Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you, with the I loly Ghost sent down from heaven ; which things the angels desire to look into. John
