V. 17. Jesus was now going up to Jerusalem
Horn Galilee to celebrate the Passover. He !
, was going. It was his own voluntary act.
i His enemies would not have reached him
had he chosen to hide himself from them.
But he was going, and going with the full
knowledge of all that awaited him there.
But why were they amazed? Was there not
something especially striking in his manner
and appearance? So fie almost transforming
[influence u$,ding consciousness about him. of Was what it not the per
was before him,
lilid the shining forth of an inward resolu¬
tion not to be turned aside from the path on
Ivhich he had entered? Was it not just the
kI have set mv face like a flint,” of which
B|iah ^V. IS. speaks? Having called his disciples
round
■im, he began to tell them of the real pur
■sse and meaning of his going up to Jerusa
■ :n. T wic e before had ho told them. Th-*
mto*- occasion was that of Peter’s glorious
■■nfession, the second was that of his traus
Kguration, and this was the third, as it was
flso the fullest. And how exact it was. “Tho
of Man shall be betrayed.” and here wan
the work of Judas. “And shall condemn
him to death,” and here v as the work at the
house of Annas mid Calphas. And here was
the limit of their work; they had no power to
put to death.
V. 19. This follows, of course. Their
bloody purpose must bo carried out. Iu
themselves they hdK no power, for the
Roman had deprived them of that in view of
their well known turbuleney. Therefore
they must “deliver him to the Gentiles, who,
in this case, are represented by Pilate, the
Roman governor. And what will they do*
They shall “mock, and scourge, and crucify
him.” And then comes in the glorious words,
“The third day he shall rise again.” How
wonderful the contrast the two sides of this
statement? Between man’s estimate of Jesus
c£ Nazareth on the one side and tho Lord’s on
th > othqf. The mocking and the scourging,
the purple robe, the reed scepter, tho crown
of thorns and the cross here and the rising
from the “dead there.” On tho one side, the
place, between two thieves—as one with them
in guilt and punishment—and a seat on tho
Father’s throne on the other. It is the ever
lasting contrast concerning him who is set
for “a sign that shall be spoken against.”
But as cioarly as tbe light we see in these
words:
1. The voluntariness of his sacrifice.
2. His perfect foreknowledge of all that
was before him.
V. 20,21. How harsh is this discord? How
utterly without sympathy with him these two
disciples and Salome, their mother, seem to
have been? Right in the midst of our Lord's
discourse about his approaching sufferings
and death they thrust their ambitious erav
ings for the high places ia his earthly king
dom. Salome, their mother, seems to have
been tho speaker here. Bim the , two brethren
were beyond doubt in full accord with her.
It was to them tin* open way to earthly dis¬
tinction and power. A11 through his ministry
and after his resurrection they had no other
idea about it than of a kingdom that should
break the Rom m yoke and restore the ancient
glories of David’s throne. The lust question
they asked of their Lord just before his as¬
cension was: “Wilt thou at this time re
store the kingdom enlightening to Israel;’’ And it was
only under the influence of Di¬
spirit that they onw the truth about it. His
kingdom was “not of this world.” It was
not formed or carried on as earthly king¬
doms are. Greatness in it was not the result
of wealth and power and state. They were
then utterly in the dark about it. .
V 22. How profound the pity that moved
tbe Saviour's breast as lie looked on his mis¬
guided disciples and said: “Ye know not
what ye usk ?” The first places in his king¬
dom, oh! did they think of this as they re¬
ceived the distinction that afterward
awaited them? Did James think of it as
second i:i “the noble many of martyrs he fell
beneath the sword of Ilerod? Did John think
of it ia the loneliness of his banishment to
to the “islo that is called Patinos * * *
for the testimony of Jesus?” Did it come as
1 & gleam of saddening remembrance over him
as he wrote: “Love not the world, neither
tho things that are in the world?” “The cup
that I shall drink of” is, of course, his suffer¬
ings and death.
V. 23. Two points of interest are set before
us in this verso, i. e.:
1. Their fellowship in his sufferings and
2. Tho correction of their mistake.
As to (1). There future lives lay as an open
book before him. He saw tho turbulent
times of Herod’s persecution and the stroke
of his descending sword us the head of James

their two fellow disci]lies seems to have been
natural enough. It seemed to them that tho
two brethren were set on gaining the best
j places in the kingdom for themselves. And
