Romans 9:1 1599 Geneva Bible (GNV) 9 1 He answereth an objection, that might be brought on the Jews’ behalf,7 and telleth of two sorts of Abraham’s children, 15 and that God worketh all things in this matter according to his will,20 even as the potter doth.24, 30 He proveth as well the calling of the Gentiles,31 as also the rejecting of the Jews,25, 27 by the testimony of the Prophets. 1 I say [a]the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing me witness in the holy Ghost, Footnotes: Romans 9:1 The third part of this Epistle, even to the twelfth Chapter, wherein Paul ascendeth to the higher causes of faith: and first of all because he purposed to speak much of the casting off of the Jews, he useth an insinuation, declaring by a double or triple oath, and by witnessing of his great desire towards their salvation, his singular love towards them, and therewithall granting unto them all their prerogatives. Acts 9:22-25 1599 Geneva Bible (GNV) 22 [a]But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, [b]confirming that this was that Christ. 23 [c]And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him, 24 But their laying await was known of Saul: now they watched the gates day and night, that they might kill him. 25 [d]Then the disciples took him by night, and put him through the wall, and let him down by a rope in a basket. Footnotes: Acts 9:22 Paul striveth not with his own authority alone, but with the testimonies of the Prophets. Acts 9:22 By conferring places of the Scripture together, as cunning craftsman do, when they make up anything, they use to gather all parts together, to make them agree fitly one with another. Acts 9:23 Paul, who was before a persecutor, hath now persecution laid before himself, but yet afar off. Acts 9:25 We are not forbidden to avoid and eschew the dangers and conspiracies that the enemies of God lay for us, so that we swerve not from our vocation. Acts 12:1-3 1599 Geneva Bible (GNV) 12 Herod killeth James with the sword, 4 And imprisoneth Peter,8 whom the Angel delivereth.20 Herod being offended with them of Tyrus,21 is pacified:22 And taking the honor due to God, to himself,23 he is eaten with worms , and so dieth. 1 Now [a]about that time, [b]Herod the king stretched forth his hand to vex certain of the Church, 2 And he [c]killed James the brother of John with the sword. 3 [d]And when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further, to take Peter also (then were the days of unleavened bread.) Footnotes: Acts 12:1 God giveth his Church a truce, but for a little time. Acts 12:1 This name Herod was common to all them that came of the stock of Herod Ascalonites, whose surname was Magnus: but he that is spoken of here, was nephew to Herod the great son to Aristobulus, and father to that Agrippa who is spoken of afterward. Acts 12:2 Violently, his cause being not once heard. Acts 12:3 It is an old fashion of tyrants to procure the favor of the wicked, with the blood of the godly. Acts 13:50 1599 Geneva Bible (GNV) 50 [a]But the Jews stirred certain [b]devout and honorable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts. Footnotes: Acts 13:50 Such is the craft and subtlety of the enemies of the Gospel, that they abuse the simplicity of some which are not altogether evil men, to execute their cruelty. Acts 13:50 Such as embraced Moses’ Law. Matthew 26:17-25 1599 Geneva Bible (GNV) 17 ¶ [a]Now [b]on the first day of the feast of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the Passover? 18 And he said, Go ye into the city to such a man, and say to him, The master saith, My time is at hand: I will keep the Passover at thine house with my disciples. 19 And the disciples did as Jesus had given them charge, and made ready the Passover. 20 So when the even was come, he [c]sat down with the twelve. 21 And as they did eat, he said, Verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. 22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Is it I, Master? 23 And he answered and said, He that [d]dippeth his hand with me in the dish, he shall betray me. 24 Surely the Son of man goeth his way, as it is written of him: but woe be to that man, by whom the Son of man is betrayed: it had been good for that man, if he had never been born. 25 Then Judas [e]which betrayed him, answered, and said, Is it I, master? He said unto him, Thou hast said it. Footnotes: Matthew 26:17 Christ verily purposing to bring us into our country out of hand, and so to abrogate the figure of the Law, fulfilleth the Law, neglecting the contrary tradition and custom of the Jews, and there withall showeth that all things shall so come to pass by the ministry of men, that the secret counsel of God shall govern them. Matthew 26:17 This was the fourteenth day of the first month: and the first day of unleavened bread should have been the fifteenth, but because this day’s evening (which after the manner of the Romans was referred to the day before) did belong by the Jews’ manner to the day following, therefore it is called the first day of unleavened bread. Matthew 26:20 Because the Law appointed them to be shod, and have their staffs in their hands, as though they were in haste, thereby it is to be gathered that they sat not down when they did eat the Passover, but stood, for otherwise when they went to meat, they put off their shoes: therefore he speaketh here in this place, not of the Passover, but of the Supper, which was celebrated after that the Passover was solemnly done. Matthew 26:23 That is to say, whom I vouchsafed to come to my table, alluding to the place, Ps. 41:9, which is not so to be understood, as though at the selfsame instant that the Lord spake these words, Judas had had his hand in the dish (for that had been an undoubted token) but it is meant of his tabling and eating with them. Matthew 26:25 Whose head was about nothing then but to betray him. 1 Thessalonians 2:14-16 1599 Geneva Bible (GNV) 14 [a]For brethren, ye are become followers of the Churches of God, which in Judea are in [b]Christ Jesus, because ye have also suffered the same things of your own [c]country men, even as they have of the Jews, 15 [d]Who both killed the Lord Jesus and their own Prophets, and have persecuted us away, [e]and God they please not, and are contrary to [f]all men, 16 And forbid us to preach unto the Gentiles, that they might be saved, to [g]fulfill their sins always: for the [h]wrathof God is come on them to the utmost. Footnotes: 1 Thessalonians 2:14 He confirmeth them in their afflictions which they suffered of their own people, because they were afflicted of their own countrymen: which came as well (saith he) to the Churches of the Jews, as to them: and therefore they ought to take it in good part. 1 Thessalonians 2:14 Which Christ hath gathered together. 1 Thessalonians 2:14 Even of them which are of the same country, and the same town that you are of. 1 Thessalonians 2:15 He preventeth an offense which might be taken, for that the Jews especially above all others persecuted the Gospel. That is no new thing, sayeth he, seeing they slew Christ himself and his Prophets, and have banished me also. 1 Thessalonians 2:15 He foretelleth the utter destruction of the Jews, lest any man should be moved by their rebellion. 1 Thessalonians 2:15 For the Jews would neither enter into the kingdom of God themselves, nor suffer others to enter in. 1 Thessalonians 2:16 Until the wickedness of theirs which they have by inheritance as it were of their fathers, be grown so great that the measure of their iniquity being filled, God may come forth to wrath. 1 Thessalonians 2:16 The judgments of God being angry, which indeed appeared shortly after in the destruction of the city of Jerusalem, whither many resorted even out of divers provinces, when it was besieged. John 5:15-18 1599 Geneva Bible (GNV) 15 ¶ The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus that had made him whole. 16 And therefore the Jews did persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the Sabbath day. 17 [a]But Jesus answered them, My father worketh hitherto, and I work. 18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him: not only because he had broken the Sabbath: but said also that God was [b]his Father, and made himself equal with God. Footnotes: John 5:17 The work of God was never the breach of the Sabbath: but the works of Christ are the works of the Father, both because they are one God, and also because the Father doth not work but in the Son. John 5:18 That is, his only and no man’s else, which they gather by that, that he saith, (And I work) applying this word (work) to himself, which is proper to God, and therefore maketh himself equal to God. John 7:1 1599 Geneva Bible (GNV) 7 2 Christ, after his cousins were gone up to the feast of Tabernacles,10 goeth thither privily.12 The people’s sundry opinions of him.14 He teacheth in the Temple.32 The Priests command to take him.41 Strife among the multitude about him,47 and between the Pharisees and the officers that were sent to take him,50 and Nicodemus. 1 After these things, Jesus walked in Galilee, and would not walk in Judea: for the Jews sought to kill him. John 7:13 1599 Geneva Bible (GNV) 13 Howbeit no man spake [a]openly of him for fear of the Jews. Footnotes: John 7:13 Or, boldly and freely: for the chief of the Jews sought nothing so much, as to bury his fame and name. John 10:25-31 1599 Geneva Bible (GNV) 25 [a]Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believe not: the works that I do in my Father’s Name, they bear witness of me. 26 [b]But ye believe not: [c]for ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me, 28 And I give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of mine hand. 29 My Father which gave them me, is greater than all, and none is able to take them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and my Father are one. 31 [d]Then the Jews again took up stones, to stone him. Footnotes: John 10:25 The doctrine of the Gospel is proved from heaven by two witnesses: both by the purity of the doctrine, and by miracles. John 10:26 It is no marvel that there do but a few believe, seeing that all men are by nature untamed beasts: yet notwithstanding God hath his, which he turneth into sheep, and commiteth them unto his Son, and preserveth them against the cruelty of all wild beasts. John 10:26 He giveth a reason why they believed not, to wit, because they are none of his sheep. John 10:31 Christ proveth his dignity by divine works. John 11:53-57 1599 Geneva Bible (GNV) 53 Then from that day forth they consulted together, to put him to death. 54 [a]Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples. 55 ¶ And the Jews’ Passover was at hand, and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves. 56 Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the Temple, What think ye, that he cometh not to the feast? 57 Now both the high Priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that if any man knew where he were, he should show it, that they might take him. Footnotes: John 11:54 We may give place to the rage of the wicked, when it is expedient so to do, but yet in such sort, that we swerve not from God’s vocation. John 8:44-48 1599 Geneva Bible (GNV) 44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do: he hath been a murderer from the[a]beginning, and [b]abode not in the [c]truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, then speaketh he of his [d]own: for he is a liar, and the [e]father thereof. 45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. 46 [f]Which of you can rebuke me of sin? and if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? 47 He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. 48 [g]Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? Footnotes: John 8:44 From the beginning of the world: for as soon as man was made, the devil cast him headlong into death. John 8:44 That is, continued not constantly, or remained not. John 8:44 That is, in faithfulness, and uprightness, that is, kept not his creation. John 8:44 Even of his own head, and of his own brain or disposition. John 8:44 The author thereof. John 8:46 Christ did thoroughly execute the office, that his Father enjoined him. John 8:48 The enemies of Christ make their bravery for a while, but the Father will appear at his time to revenge the reproach that is done unto him in the person of his son.
