Editorial note — XVII. CONFLICT IN THE TEMPLE. Matt xxi.-xxiii.
Reading edition
[17]See the accounts in the second and third Gospels.
[18]Another example of the use of the same illustration more than once. See ix. 15.
[19]Compare the same thought in Ps. xvi. 8-11.
[20]"Papa," pope, is the Latin translation of the Hebrew word for Father.
[21]The reason why these two are named is sufficiently obvious, when we remember that the second Book of Chronicles, in which the martyrdom of Zachariah is recorded, was the last book of the Hebrew Scriptures, just as we might say, All the promises from Genesis to Revelation. The difficulty which has been made so much of (Barachias v. Jehoiada) is of no importance except to those who will not remember that the letter killeth and the spirit giveth life.
