3. Then, in what next follows, Christ speaks

‹ Section 2 Section 4 ›

,

as

it

were

,

in

His

own

person

:

“

Then

I

restored

that

,

”

says

He

,

“

which

I

took

not

away

;

”

that

is

,

on

account

of

the

sin

of

Adam

I

endured

the

death

which

was

not

mine

by

sinning

.

“

For

,

O

God

,

Thou

knowest

my

foolishness

;

and

my

sins

are

not

hid

from

Thee

,

”

that

is

,

“

for

I

did

not

sin

,

”

as

He

means

it

;

and

for

this

reason

(

it

is

added

)

,

“

Let

not

them

be

ashamed

who

want

to

see

”

my

resurrection

on

the

third

day

,

to

wit

,

the

apostles

.

“

Because

for

Thy

sake

,

”

that

is

,

for

the

sake

of

obeying

Thee

,

“

I

have

borne

reproach

,

”

namely

the

cross

,

when

“

they

covered

my

face

with

shame

,

”

that

is

to

say

,

the

Jews

;

when

“

I

became

a

stranger

unto

my

brethren

after

the

flesh

,

and

an

alien

unto

my

mother’s

children

,

”

meaning

(

by

the

mother

)

the

synagogue

.

“

For

the

zeal

of

Thine

house

,

Father

,

hath

eaten

me

up

;

and

the

reproaches

of

them

that

reproached

Thee

are

fallen

on

me

,

”

and

of

them

that

sacrificed

to

idols

.

Wherefore

“

they

that

sit

in

the

gate

spoke

against

me

,

”

for

they

crucified

me

without

the

gate

.

“

And

they

that

drink

sang

against

me

,

”

that

is

,

(

they

who

drink

wine

)

at

the

feast

of

the

passover

.

“

But

as

for

me

,

in

my

prayer

unto

Thee

,

O

Lord

,

I

said

,

Father

,

forgive

them

,

”

namely

the

Gentiles

,

because

it

is

the

time

for

favour

with

Gentiles

.

“

Let

not

then

the

hurricane

(

of

temptations

)

overwhelm

me

,

neither

let

the

deep

(

that

is

,

Hades

)

swallow

me

up

:

for

Thou

wilt

not

leave

my

soul

in

hell

(

Hades

)

;

neither

let

the

pit

shut

her

mouth

upon

me

,

”

that

is

,

the

sepulchre

.

“

By

reason

of

mine

enemies

,

deliver

me

,

”

that

the

Jews

may

not

boast

,

saying

,

Let

us

consume

him

.
