the saved ; and made that reply to the Pharisees which St . Luke alone records ( eh , xiii . 31—35 ) , when they told him that Herod intended to kill him . The discourses of our Lord in the Perea are marked by a peculiarly earnest tone of spiritual instruction , and by striking references to approaching calamities , which could not fail to impress the minds of his disciples ; especially if taken in connexion with the declared purposes of Herod , and the known intentions of the great council of their nation : and when , at last , they crossed the Jordan and entered Judea , and saw their Master
going before them on the way towards Jerusalem , it is said ( Mark x . 32 ) that " they were amazed , and , as they followed , they were afraid . ' > He then again informed the Twelve " of his approaching sufferings ; yet , even then , the Mother of James and John came to him , apparently at their desire , to request for them a distinguished place in his kingdom . Jericho was about fifteen miles from Jerusalem , ( or thirteen from Bethany , ) and six from the nearest part of the Jordan . Our Lord probably entered it on the Friday before the Passover . On leaving it , * he gave sight to two blind men , one of them named Bartimseus ; and soon after told Zacchaeus , that he would abide that day in his house . While there , he delivered the parable of the Ten Pounds . It is probable that he remained with Zacchaeus till the ensuing sabbath was ended ; and that then he set off for Bethany , where he arrived " six days before the Passover . "

From our Lord ' s Arrival at Bethany to his Death ^ ' The Pharisees , ( probably through commencing the month with the first appearance of the moon , ) on the Friday evening , ate the Passover , in the week of * the crucifixion j and , at least in the time of our Lord ' s ministry , those who neglected the traditions of the Elders , celebrated the Passover on the preceding day , without reference to the appearance of the new moon , but according to the calculation of its actual conjunction with the sun . J Our Lord certainly ate the Passover on the Thursday evening j and as he

Luke xviii . 35 , cv rep er / yi ^ s . t . v oevrov ei <; lepi % Go , taken in connexion with ver . 31 , might mean no more than " as he was , approaching Jerusalem , at Jericho ; " but ch . xix . 1 , clearly implies that Luke understood the miracle to have been wrought before our Lord ' s arrival aj Jericho . Mr . Greswell supposes that Luke records one miracle , and Mark another ; and that Matthew blends them together . This Is quite inadmissible . f > In p . 454 , we have included the events to our Lord ' s Ascension in this" Part . We find it best to make the present division . X Such ifi the result af our examination into this most embarrassing questiou-Kuinoel , on Matt , xxvu 17 , gives au admirable , and generally conclusive , view of the arguments *
