VER. 8.

Πάλιν παραλαμβάνει αὐτὸν ὁ διάβολος εἰς ὄρος ὑψηλὸν λίαν, καὶ δείκνυσιν αὐτῷ πάσας τὰς βασιλείας τοῦ κόσμου καὶ τὴν δόξαν αὐτῶν·

Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, band sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them ;

a And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said

anto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me ; and to whom soever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine, Luke iv. 5-7.

And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the king had promoted him; and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king, Esth. v. 11. Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased; For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away; his glory shall not descend after him, Ps. xlix. 16, 17. The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty? Dan. iv. 30.

VER. 9.

τανᾶ· γέγραπται γάρ Κύριον τὸν Θεόν σου Τότε λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Ὕπαγε, Σαπροσκυνήσεις, καὶ αὐτῷ μόνῳ λατρεύσεις.

Then saith Jesus unto him, a Get thee hence, b Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

a But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men, Matt. xvi. 23. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you, James iv. 7.

Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name, x. 20. Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD, Josh. xxiv. 14. And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines, 1 Sam. vii. 3. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve, Luke iv. 8.

VER. 11.

Now a when Jesus had heard that John * cast into prison, he departed into

Galilee:

* Or, delivered up.

Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the Gospel of the kingdom of God, Mark i. 14. For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her, vi. 17. Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison, Luke iii. 20. And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about, iv. 14. And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days, 31. Now and went into Galilee. This is again after two days he departed thence, the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judæa into Galilee, John iv. 43. 54.

b And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him, Mark i. 13. And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him, Luke xxii. 43. And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed bAnd thou, Capernaum, which art on in the world, received up into glory, exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought 1 Tim. iii. 16.

And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them, John vi. 17. When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus, 24. These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum,

And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulon according to their families: and the border of their inheritance was unto Sarid: And their border went up towards the sea, and Maralah, and reached to Dabbasheth, and reached to the river that is before Jokneam; And turned from Sarid eastward towards the sun-rising unto the border of Chisloth-tabor, and then goeth out to Daberath, and goeth up to Japhia, And from thence passeth on along on the east to Gittah-hepher, to Ittah-kazin, and goeth out to Remmon-methoar to Neah; and the border compasseth it on the north-side to Hannathon: and the outgoings thereof are in the valley of Jiphthah-el: and Kattath, and Nahallal, and Shimron, and Idalah, and Beth-lehem: twelve cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the children of Zebulon according to their families, these cities with their villages, Josh. xix. 10-16. d The sixth lot came out to the chil dren of Naphtali, even for the children of Naphtali according to their families. And their coast was from Heleph, from Allon to Zaanannim, and Adami, Nekeb, and Jabneel, unto Lakum; and the outgoings thereof were at Jordan: And then the coast turneth westward to Aznoth-tabor; and goeth out from thence to Hukkok, and reacheth to Zebulon on the southside, and reacheth to Asher on the west-side, and to Judah upon Jordan towards the sun-rising. And the fenced cities are Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath, Rakkath, and Chinnereth, and Adamah, and Ramah, and Hazor, And Kedesh, and Edrei, and En-hazor, And Iron, and Migdal-el, Horem, and Bethanath, and Bethshemesh; nineteen cities with their villages.

The people which sat in darkness saw great light: and to them which sat in the region band shadow of death, light is sprung up.

a Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations. The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined, Isa. ix. 1, 2. Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron; Because they rebelled against the words of God, and con

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light, 1 Pet. ii. 9. This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, That God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
