THE DEATH OF CHRIST PRE DETERMINED. Luke ix, 30, 31. And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias: Who appeared in glory, and pake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem. John xviii, 31, 32.

The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death: That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die. John xix, 11. Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin. Acts ill, 18. But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled. Ps. xxil, 1, 16. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roar ing? For dogs have compassed me; the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. Dan. Ix, 26.

And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men: And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were re exceeding sorry. ing, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men. Mark x, 32-34. And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed: and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him, Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall deliver him to the Gentiles: And condemn him to death, and shall they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him; and the third day he shall rise again. Luke ix, 43, 44. And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples, Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men. Luke xiii, 32, 33. And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected. Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day fol lowing: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. Luke xvii, 25.
