of trust in God in extremis. Various shades of meaning have been put on the words, among which is that Jesus died by a free act of will, handing over His soul to God as a deposit to be kept safe (Grotius, Bengel, Hahn, etc.).—Ver. 47. 6 ἑκατοντάρχης, the centurion, in com- mand of the soldiers named in ver. 36.— δίκαιος, righteous, innocent; in the parallels he confesses that Jesus is a Son of God. Lk. is careful to accumulate testimonies to Christ’s innocence; first the robber, then the centurion, then the multitude (ver. 48) bears witness.—Ver. 48. θεωρίαν, sight, here only (3 Macc. ν. 24).---τὰ γενόµενα, the things that had happened; comprehensively, including the crucifixion and all its accompani- ments. They had looked on and listened, and the result was regret that they had had anything to do with bringing such a fate on such a τηᾶπ.-- τύπτοντες τ. σ., beating their breasts. Lk. has in mind Zechariah’s ‘‘they shall look on me whom they have pierced and mourn” (xii. Το).---ὑπέστρεφον, kept going away, in little groups, sad-hearted.—Ver. 49. ot γνωστοὶ, His acquaintances, Galileans mostly, who stood till the end, but far away. Mt. and Mk. do not mention this. No word of the eleven.—kat γυναῖκες: warm-hearted Galileans they too, and women, therefore bolder where the heart was concerned; nearer presumably, therefore “seeing ’’ predicted of them specially (ὁρῶσαι).

safe distance, the women cared more for seeing than for safety.
Vv. 50-56. The burial (Mt. xxvii. 57- 61, Mk. xv. 42-47).—Ver. 50. καὶ ἰδού: introducing the bright side of the tragic picture, a welcome relief after the harrowing incidents previously related : the Victim of injustice honourably buried by a good man, who is described with greater fulness of detail than in Mt. and Mk.—avnp ἀγαθὸς καὶ δίκαιος, a man generous or noble and just. Instead of the epithets εὐσχήμων (Mk. xv. 43) and πλούσιος (Mt. xxvii. 57), indicative ot social position, Lk. employs words descriptive of moral character, leaving βουλευτὴς to serve the former purpose. ἀγαθὸς has reference to the generous act he is going to perform, δίκαιος to his past conduct in connection with the trial of Jesus; hence the statement following: οὗτος οὐκ ἦν, etc., which forms a kind of parenthesis in the long sentence.— Ver. 51. οὐκ ἦν συγκατατεθειµένος, was not a consenting party, here only in N. T. Alford thinks the meaning is that he absented himself from the meeting. Let us hope it means more than that: present at the meeting, and dissenting from its proceedings.—r. βουλῇ καὶ τ. πράξει, their counsel and their subsequent action in carrying that counsel into effect.— ὃς προσεδέχετο, etc.: this describes his religious character, Thus we have first social position, a counsellor; next ethical character, generous and just:
