- The disbelief of the apostle is the means of furnishing us
- with a full and satisfactory demonstration of the resurrection
- of our Lord. Throughout the divine dispensations every
- doctrine and ever important truth is gradually revealed; and
- here we have a conspicuous instance of the progressive system.
- An angel first declares the glorious event; the empty
- sepulchre confirms the women's report. Christ's appearance to
- Mary Magdalene shewed that he was alive; that to the disciples
- at Emmaus proved that it was at the least the spirit of
- Christ; that to the eleven shewed the reality of his body; and
- the conviction given to Thomas proved it the self-same
- body that had been crucified. Incredulity itself is
- satisfied; and the convinced apostle exclaims, in the joy of
- his heart, "My Lord and my God!"

- Basnage gives a very similar hyperbole taken from the Jewish
- writers, in which Jochanan is said to have "composed such a
- great number of precepts and lessons, that if the heavens were
- paper, and all the trees of the forest so many pens, and all
- the children of men so many scribes, they would not suffice to
- write all his lessons."

- CONCLUDING REMARKS ON JOHN'S GOSPEL.
-
- John, who, according to the unanimous testimony of the ancient
- fathers and ecclesiastical writers, was the author of this
- Gospel, was the son of Zebedee, a fisherman of Bethsaida, by
- Salome his wife, (compare Mt 10:2, with Mt 27:55, 56 and Mr
- 15:40,) and brother of James the elder, whom "Herod killed with
- the sword," (Ac 12:2.) Theophylact says that Salome was the
- daughter of Joseph, the husband of Mary, by a former wife; and
- that consequently she was our Lord's sister, and John was his
- nephew. He followed the occupation of his father till his call
- to the apostleship, (Mt 4:21, 22, Mr 1:19, 20, Lu 5:1-10,) which
- is supposed to have been when he was about twenty five years of
- age; after which he was a constant eye-witness of our Lord's
- labours, journeyings, discourses, miracles, passion,
- crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. After the ascension
- of our Lord he returned with the other apostles to Jerusalem,
- and with the rest partook of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit
- on the day of Pentecost, by which he was eminently qualified for
- the office of an Evangelist and Apostle. After the death of
- Mary, the mother of Christ, which is supposed to have taken
- place about fifteen years after the crucifixion, and probably
- after the council held in Jerusalem about A.D. 49 or 50, (Ac
- 15.,) at which he was present, he is said by ecclesiastical
- writers to have proceeded to Asia Minor, where he formed and
- presided over seven churches in as many cities, but chiefly
- resided at Ephesus. Thence he was banished by the emperor
- Domitian, in the fifteenth year of his reign, A.D. 95, to the
- isle of Patmos in the Ægean sea, where he wrote the Apocalypse,
- (Re 1:9.) On the accession of Nerva the following year, he was
- recalled from exile and returned to Ephesus, where he wrote his
- Gospel and Epistles, and died in the hundredth year of his age,
- about A.D. 100, and in the third year of the emperor Trajan. It
- is generally believed that St. John was the youngest of the
- twelve apostles, and that he survived all the rest. Jerome, in
- his comment on Gal VI., says that he continued preaching when so
- enfeebled with age as to be obliged to be carried into the
- assembly; and that, not being able to deliver any long
- discourse, his custom was to say in every meeting, My dear
- children, love one another. The general current of ancient
- writers declares that the apostle wrote his Gospel at an
- advanced period of life, with which the internal evidence
- perfectly agrees; and we may safely refer it, with Chrysostom,
- Epiphanius, Mill, Le Clerc, and others, to the year 97. The
- design of St. John in writing his Gospel is said by some to have
- been to supply those important events which the other
- Evangelists had omitted, and to refute the notions of the
- Cerinthians and Nicolaitans, or according to others, to refute
- the heresy of the Gnostics and Sabians. But, though many parts
- of his Gospel may be successfully quoted against the strange
- doctrines held by those sects, yet the apostle had evidently a
- more general end in view than the confutation of their heresies.
- His own words sufficiently inform us of his motive and design in
- writing this Gospel: "These things are written that ye might
- believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that
- believing, ye might have life through his name." (ch. 20:31.)
- Learned men are not wholly agreed concerning the language in
- which this Gospel was originally written. Salmasius, Grotius,
- and other writers, have imagined that St. John wrote it in his
- own native tongue, the Aramean or Syriac, and that it was
- afterwards translated into Greek. This opinion is not supported
- by any strong arguments, and is contradicted by the unanimous
- voice of antiquity, which affirms that he wrote it in Greek,
- which is the general and most probable opinion. The style of
- this Gospel indicates a great want of those advantages which
- result from a learned education; but this defect is amply
- compensated by the unexampled simplicity with which he expresses
- the sublimest truths. One thing very remarkable is an attempt
- to impress important truths more strongly on the minds of his
- readers, by employing in the expression of them both an
- affirmative proposition and a negative. It is manifestly not
- without design that he commonly passes over those passages of
- our Lord's history and teaching which had been treated at large
- by other Evangelists, or if he touches them at all, he touches
- them but slightly, whilst he records many miracles which had
- been overlooked by the rest, and expatiates on the sublime
- doctrines of the pre-existence, the divinity, and the
- incarnation of the Word, the great ends of His mission, and the
- blessings of His purchase.

- 1 Christ, preparing his apostles to the beholding of his
- ascension, gathers them together unto the mount Olivet,
- commands them to expect in Jerusalem the sending down of the
- Holy Ghost, promises after a few days to send it, and
- ascends into heaven in their sight.
- 10 After his ascension they are warned by two angels to depart,
- and to set their minds upon his second coming.
- 12 They accordingly return, and, giving themselves to prayer,
- choose Matthias apostle in the place of Judas.
