Ch. 124 Ascension

Time per Luke immediately after his appearance to the eleven at Jerusalem, where & when he eat with them. Per Mark, the same time though not so pointedly

Place per Luke Bethany whither he led them from Jerusalem. This contradicts Matthew according to whom he met them in the mountain in Galilee according to his appointment: which appointment if made be according to Luke & Mark broken

As to Matthew & John they had never heard of this occasion though Matthew was one of the eleven in whose presence according to Luke it was performed, or they did not believe it, or they thought it not worth mentioning

{Sit on the right hand of God} Who saw him? /thus sitting?/ Did he sit on the right hand of himself?

{Confirming the word with signs following} Then come the Acts as a sequel. This being in Mark, this makes the Acts to be of Mark’s writing

{Returned to Jerusalem with great joy} Joy for what? at seeing themselves in a destitute state instead of sharers in the Kingdom of Judæa[?]?

Luke {All things must be fulfilled in the prophets & psalms concerning me} What sort of fulfillable things these are have been seen ‘ Opened their understanding’ about the scriptures. See above.

Repentance and remission of sins. This power of remission of sins was the legacy to them for their maintenance: this was all they had to give joy for.

Ch. 124

Jesus ascends into heaven and sits at the right hand of God.

Luke XXIV. 44 to 53 (the end) Matt. silent. Mark XVI. 19. 20 (the end). John silent.

    Ch. 119 Emmaus appearance

    Time per Luke same day as per last. Per Mark, no time specified except that it was afterwards. Matt. & John silent.

    Place per Luke, Emmaus 60 furlongs (7½ miles) from Jerusalem. Per Mark unspecified.

    Luke {they did not know him.} When the whole use of his appearance to them was to establish his identity to what use make a mystery of it?

    The third day since &c. This is in contradiction to all the preceding accounts, as to the time. It was the next day but one after that of the death and burial.

    {Certain women were astonished &c} No notice is here taken of the sight which Mary alone had of him at the sepulchre per Mark, and John, and to Mary and other women per Matthew as they were running to tell the disciples.

    To two alone is he stated to have thus appeared, Cleophas the one (quere which was he? his name is not upon any one of the three lists of the Apostles. the other nameless: they make him sup with them – all the while not knowing him notwithstanding the marks he shewed afterwards – the number[?] of the marks on his hands &c. though he broke bread before them (did he wear gloves?) – in short he pretends to be another person a stranger – and the instant he appears before them is his true character and contradicts his own falshoods, he vanishes! {Opened to us the scriptures} Had it indeed been Jesus, risen from the dead, i.e. with a new life or else the old one and in that case dead only in appearance, he might have found something else to have said to them instead of expounding to them a parcel of scriptures which he had himself, in endeavour at least, and according to his hypothesis abolished. For example what was become of the earthly kingdom for a place in which they engaged with him &c.
