§ 121. Каким образом Христос есть Сын Давидов? (Третий день недели.) Иерусалим.
Matthew.Mark.CH. XXII. 41-46.CH. XII. 35-37.41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David.43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,35 And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David?44 The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?244Holy Ghost, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?37 David therefore himself calleth him Lord, and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man, from that day forth, ask him any more questions. Luke.CH. XX. 41-44.41 And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son?42 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,43 Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.44 David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?
§ 122. Предостережения против дурного примера книжников и фарисеев. (Третий день недели.) Иерусалим.
Matthew.Mark.CH. XXIII. 1-12.CH. XII. 38, 39.Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,38 And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the market-places,2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:39 And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do: but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.4 For they bind heavy burdens, and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.8 But be ye not called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father which is in heaven.10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your master, even Christ.11 But he that is greatest among you, shall be your servant.12 And whosoever shall exalt himself, shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself, shall be exalted. Luke.CH. XX. 45, 46.45 Then in the audience of all the people, he said unto his disciples,46 Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;

§ 123. Горести на книжников и фарисеев. Плач над Иерусалимом. (Третий день недели.) Иерусалим.
Matthew.Mark.CH. XXIII. 13-39.CH. XII. 40.13 But wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering, to go in.14 Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.40 Which devour widows' houses and for a pretence make long prayers these shall receive greater damnation15 Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he is made, ye make him two-fold more the child of hell than yourselves.16 Wo unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor.17 Ye fools, and blind! for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?18 And whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.19 Ye fools, and blind! for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?20 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.21 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.22 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.23 Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint, and anise, and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.25 Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.27 Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.29 Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes; and some of them ye shall kill and crucify, and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogue, and persecute them from city to city:35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel, unto the blood of Zacharias, son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.24536 Verily, I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.24639 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.247 Luke.CH. XX. 47.Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.

§ 124. Лепта вдовы. (Третий день недели.) Иерусалим.
Mark.Luke.CH. XII. 41-44.CH. XXI. 1-4.41 And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.And he looked up and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.2 And he saw also a certain poor widow, casting in thither two mites.43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily, I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury.3 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast in more than they all.44 For all they did cast in of their abundance: but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.4 For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.

§ 125. Некоторые эллины желают видеть Иисуса. (Третий день недели.) Иерусалим.
John.CH. XII. 20-36.20 And there were certain Greeks among them, that came up to worship at the feast.21 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again, Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, shall keep it unto life eternal.26 If any man serve me, let him follow me, and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.29 The people therefore that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered. Others said, An angel spake to him.30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.33 (This he said, signifying what death he should die.)34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever:248 and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.

§ 126. Размышления по поводу неверия иудеев. (Третий день недели.) Иерусалим.
John.CH. XII. 37-50.37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him.38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?24939 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.25041 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.25142 Nevertheless, among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.44 Jesus cried, and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.45 And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me.46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

§ 127. Иисус, прощаясь с храмом, предсказывает его разрушение и т.д. (Третий день недели.) Иерусалим. Елеонская гора.
Matthew.Mark.CH. XXIV. 1-14.CH. XIII. 1-13.And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones, and what buildings are here!2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily, I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.2 And Jesus answering, said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world.3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, over against the temple, Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, asked him privately,4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.5 And Jesus answering them, began to say. Take heed lest any man deceive you:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.6 And ye shall hear of wars, and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.7 And when ye shall hear of wars, and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilence, and earthquakes in divers places.8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines, and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.9 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.12 Now, the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son: and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world, for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. Luke.CH. XXI. 5-19.5 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones, and gifts, he said,6 As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.7 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.9 But when ye shall hear of wars, and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences: and fearful sights, and great signs shall there be from heaven.12 But before all these they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer.15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.16 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.25217 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish.19 In your patience possess ye your souls.

§ 128. Знамения пришествия Христа для разрушения Иерусалима и т.д. (Третий день недели.) Елеонская гора.
Matthew.Mark.CH. XXIV. 15-42.CH. XXIII. 14-37.15 When ye, therefore, shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet,253 stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand,)14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand) then let them that be in Judea flee to the mountains:16 Then let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains:17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:15 And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.16 And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.19 And wo unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!17 But wo to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath-day:18 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.19 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.20 And except that the Lord had shortened these days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.21 And then, if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or lo, he is there; believe him not.24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.22 For false Christs, and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.25 Behold, I have told you before.23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.26 Wherefore, if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. 27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.28 For wheresoever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together.29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days, shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:25424 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.32 Now learn a parable of the fig-tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:28 Now learn a parable of the fig-tree: When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.34 Verily, I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.30 Verily, I say unto you, That this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.38 For as in the days that were before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,25534 For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work; and commanded the porter to watch.39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away: so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.42 Watch therefore; for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cock-crowing, or in the morning:36 Lest coming suddenly, he find you sleeping.37 And what I say unto you, I say unto all, Watch. Luke.CH. XXI. 20-36.20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.21 Then let them which are in Judea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.23 But wo unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig-tree, and all the trees;30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your ownselves that summer is now nigh at hand.31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.32 Verily, I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
