  • Title: [31 Aug. 1815 Jug. True Ch.]

    Jug. True

    Ch. 35

    In all three this intervenes and is all that intervenes between the mission of the 12 and their return. Strange absurdity and contradiction. To Herod the most natural supposition is that Jesus is John risen from the dead. Jesus having all the while been working so many miracles without Herod’s hearing of any of them. When Jesus was an infant Herod through jealousy tries to kill him: now he only desires to see him, and there the matter ends. In Matthew intervene betwixt mission and return Chapter XI. XII. XIII Incidents 1. John’s sending his disciples from his prison to report to him about Jesus. 2. Defence of his disciples when plucking corn on the sabbath against the Pharisees. 3. Healing of the withered hand. 4. Healing of the blind & dumb demoniac. 5. Rebuke of the Pharisees in their asking a sign. 6. Refusal to see mother & brethren. 7. Delivering of the parables, with the reason given to the select disciples why he preferred parables. Quere[?] who were these select, since[?] by the other two evangelists, the 12 apostles sent were not returned till afterwards.

    Ch. 35.

    Execution of John the Baptist in his prison by Herod. Hearing of Jesus’s proceedings, Herod supposes him to be John risen from the dead, and desires to see him.

    Jesus’s Parables

    In the choice made by Jesus of this mode of discourse one object which on this occasion at least he had in view is no secret: by himself according to Matthew (XIII 3 to 23) it was expressly declared: it was to convey a double meaning: to his disciples one meaning, and that a more or less intelligent and distinct one: to the multitude at large either no meaning at all, or a confused one.
