.A long draw-net, the ends of which are carried outand drawn together.Through the transcription of the word into the Latinsagena comes seine.From the fact of its making a great sweep, the Greeksformed a verb from it, saghne>uw, to surround and take with a drag-net.Thus Herodotus (3:149) says:  The Persians netted Samos. And again(4:31),  Whenever they became master of an island, the barbarians, inevery single instance, netted the inhabitants.Now, the mode in which theypractice this netting if the following: Men join hands, so as to firm a lineacross from the north coast to the south, and then march through theisland from end to end, and hunt out the inhabitants. Compare Isaiah19:8:  Those who spread nets on the face of the waters shall languish.Also Habakkuk 1:15-17, where the Chaldaean conquests are describedunder this figure.Gathered of every kind.Compare the graphic passage in Homer( Odyssey, , 22:384-389) of the slain suitors in the halls of Ulysses. He saw that all had fallen in blood and dust,Many as fishes on the shelving beach,Drawn from the hoary deep by those who tendThe nets with myriad meshes.Poured abroadUpon the sand, while panting to returnTo the salt sea, they lie till the hot sunTakes their life from them.48.Sat down.Implying deliberation in the assortment. 10552.Which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven.Instructedmaqhteuqeillei).Lit., flingeth forth.See on 12:35.Indicatinghis zeal in communicating instruction and the fulness out of which hespeaks. 106CHAPTER 141.Tetrarch.A ruler of a fourth part.Archelaus had obtained two-fourthsof his father s dominions, and Antipas (this Herod) and Philip eachone-fourth.The fame (ajkohqeto).Lit.,  put him away oraside (ajpooiv).Though some explain it as the anniversary ofHerod s accession.The custom of celebrating birthdays by festivities wasnot approved by the strict Jews; but it is claimed that the Herodianprinces adopted the custom.The Roman satirist, Persius, alludes to afestival known as  Herod s Day, and pictures a banquet on that occasion. But whenCome Herod s day, and on the steaming panesThe ranged lamps, festooned with violets, pourThe unctuous cloud, while the broad tunny-tailSprawled o er the red dish swims, and snowy jarsSwell with the wine.Sat.5:180-183.Before (ejn tw|~ me>sw|).Rev., in the midst.Wyc., leaped in the middle.7.He promised (wJmolo>ghsen).Lit., confessed; conveying the idea ofacknowledging the obligation of his oath.Salome had degraded herself toperform the part of an almeh or common dancer, and could claim herreward.8.Being before instructed (probibasqei~sa).Wyc., monestid, withwarned in explanation.Both wrong.Rev., rightly, being put forward.Compare Acts 19:33, where the right meaning is, they pushed Alexanderforward out of the crowd; and not as A.V., drew out.The correct renderingslightly relieves Salome of the charge of wanton cruelty, and throws itwholly upon Herodias.Here (w=de).She demanded it on the spot, before Herod should have hadtime to reflect and relent; the more so, as she knew his respect for John(compare was sorry, ver.9).The circumstances seem to point toMachaerus itself as the scene of the banquet; so that the deed could be 108quickly done, and the head of the Baptist delivered while the feast wasstill in progress.In a charger (ejpinaki).The Revisers cannot be defended in theirretention of this thoroughly obsolete word.A charge is originally aburden; and a charger something loaded.Hence, a dish.Wyc., dish.Tynd., platter.9.The oath s sake (diate).The disciples had said,  Send them away to buy forthemselves. Christ replies, Give ye.19.Brake.As the Jewish loaves were thin cakes, a thumb s breadth inthickness, and more easily broken than cut.20.Were filled (ejcorta>sqhsan).See on Matthew 5:6. 109Baskets (kofi>nouv).Wyc., coffins, a transcription of the Greek word.Juvenal, the Roman satirist, describes the grove of Numa, near theCapenian gate of Rome, as being  let out to the Jews, whose furniture is abasket (cophinus) and some hay (for a bed),  Sat. 3:14.These weresmall hand-baskets, specially provided for the Jews to carry leviticallyclean food while travelling in Samaria or other heathen districts.The wordfor basket used in relating the feeding of the four thousand (Matthew15:37) is spuri>v, a large provision-basket or hamper, of the kind usedfor letting Paul down over the wall at Damascus (Acts 9:25).In Matthew16:9, 10, Christ, in alluding to the two miracles, observes the distinctiveterm in each narrative; using kofi>nouv in the case of the five thousand,and spuri>dav in the other.Burgon ( Letters from Rome ) gives adrawing of a wicker basket used by the masons in the cathedral atSorrento, and called coffano.He adds,  Who can doubt that the basket ofthe gospel narrative was of the shape here represented, and that thedenomination of this basket exclusively has lingered in a Greek colony,where the Jews (who once carried the cophinus as a personal equipment)formerly lived in great numbers?22.Constrained.Implying the disciples reluctance to leave him behind.24.Tossed (basanizo>menon).Rev., better, distressed.See on Matthew4:24.26.A spirit (fa>ntasma).Of which our word phantasm is a transcription.Rev [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
