moment, producing together a high- strung state of mind: Peraea, John, baptism in the Jordan, at the beginning ; Jerusalem, the priests, the cross, at the end! Filled with the varied feelings excited by these sacred recollections and tragic anticipations, He walks alone by preference, step and gesture revealing what is working within and inspiring awe—‘‘muthig απά entschlossen,” Schanz; with “majesty and heroism,” Morison ; “tanto animo tantaque alacritate,” Elsner; ‘‘more intrepidi ducis,” Grotius. This picture of Jesus in advance on the way to Jerusalem is one of Mk.’s realisms.—Ver. 33. ὅτι ἰδοὺ, etc.: the third prediction has for its specialties delivery to the Gentiles (τοῖς ἔθνεσι), and an exact specification of the indignities to be endured: mock- ing, spitting, scourging. Jesus had been thinking of these things before He spoke of them; hence the excitement of His

Ε }, but by the subj. delib., ποιήσω.---ετ. 38. τὸ βάπτισμα: in Mk. there is a double symbolism for the Passion, a cup and a baptism; in Mt.’s true text only the former. The cupis an Old Testament emblem; the baptism not so obviously, yet it may rest on Ps. xlii. 7, lxix. 2, cxxiv. 4-5. The conception of Curistian baptism as baptism into death is Pauline (Rom. vi.).— Ver. 4ο. ἠτοίμασται stands alone in Mk. without the reference to the Father, which is in Mt.—Ver. 42. οἱ δοκοῦντες ἄρχειν, those who pass for, are esteemed as, rulers: ‘‘quos gentes habent et agnoscunt” (Beza); “απ.
