him in a dream saying Joseph thou son of David fear not to take Mary to thee thy wife for that which is conceived in her is of the holy Ghost Paraphrase 20. Proceeds from the powerful work of the holy Ghost over-shadowing her Luke 1. 35. and omnipotently working in her this conception 21. And she shall bring forth a son and thou shalt call his name Jesus for he shall save his people from their sins Paraphrase 21. Whether by thee as here or by Mary Luke 1. 31. or by both together by the common right of parents his name shall be called Jesus i. e. Saviour the title of leaders or generals and governours among the Jews Obad. 21. to denote his spirituall kingdome and conduct of all that beleeve and obey him against their ghostly enemies sin c. 22. Now all this was done note k that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet saying Paraphrase 22. And hereby that prophecy Isa 7. 14. had a notable completion when the prophet said to Ahaz 23. Behold a Virgin shall be with child and shall bring forth a son and note l they shall call his name Emmanuel which being interpreted is God with us Paraphrase 23. And as there the child in the prophet was called Emmanuel to signifie the presence and protection of God to Ahaz so shall the birth of this child be the coming of God among us 24. Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the Angel of the Lord had bidden him and took unto him his wife 25. And knew her not till she had brought forth her first born son and he called his name Jesus Paraphrase 25. And she brought forth this Jesus her first born and in all probability her onely son the word till being of no force to the contrary as may appear 1 Sam. 15. 35. without ever being known by her husband either before or after the conception of him and as t is piously beleeved though not affirmed in Scripture remained a virgin all her life after and on the eighth daie the daie of circumcision and of imposition of names his name was called Jesus by the appointment of his parents according to the Angels direction Annotations on Chapter I. The word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 doth not here signifie peculiarly or precisely the birth of Christ for that is expressed by another word differing somewhat from this v. 18. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to beget so used v. 2. and so on in every verse after whereas 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which signifies in a wider sense not onely to be born but also to be done or come to pass It is here answerable to the Hebrew 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which though it come from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 signifying to beget and so often signifies that peculiarly yet the verb signifying also any inanimate production any event that time brings forth as Prov. 27. 1. thou knowest not what a day 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 will bring forth and Eccl. 4. 14. and even in his kingdome 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 he is made or becommeth poor not as we render it he that is born in his Kingdome and Job 11 12. and man 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 shall become a wild Asses colt proportionably the noun 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 signifies event accident any thing that is done or come to pass and so likewise any such event or passage set down or related the history or relation of it So Gen. 2. 4. These are the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the things that came to pass the story relation of the heavens and the earth c. i. e. not onely the creation of them but other passages following it So Gen. 5. 1. the book of the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the book of the story of Adam his creation and following life as here 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of the birth and life of the second Adam So Gen. 37. 2. These are the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the story of Jacob where t is clear that his own birth or the procreation of his children is not the peculiar matter in hand at that time that being past c. 35. and Esau's genealogy set after it c. 36. but v. 1. his dwelling in Canaan v. 2 3. his love to Joseph and the passages consequent to that And accordingly Aben Ezra there observes that the word noteth any event any thing that befell Jacob and so saith that excellent * P. Fagius Non statuit hic texere genealogiam stirpis Jacob sed potiùs miserabiles casus eventa quae ipsi acciderant He meant not to set down Jacobs genealogy but the sad events that befell him So Num 3. 1. These are the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the story of the passages of Aaron and Moses c. and so here not only of the birth of Christ for that is but a very small part of this book nor yet onely the genealogy of Christ for though that here follow immediately yet makes it not up any considerable part of this whole book but the book of the story of the birth life death and resurrection of Christ of all the events that belong to that matter recorded by that Evangelist as 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is all that befell the Apostles after The reason of the speciall mention of David and Abraham here without any between is the speciall promises which had been made to those two to the one of continuing the Kingdome to his posterity to the other of a numerous seed That Rahab was the wife of Salmon and mother of Booz is not set down in the old Testament nor mentioned in the genealogy in Saint Luke but recited by this Evangelist either out of the Cabala or tradition or else from some other written Authors of sufficient credit among the Jewes as the names of Jannes and Jambres 2 Tim. 3. 8. appear to have been and some others which shall be noted in their place Of Jechoniah 't is pronounced Write this man childless Jer. 22. 30. which seems to infer that Salathiel was not his son but his ●eir only An thus hath the learned Grotius set it Lu. 3. 23. that Josias begat Jechoniah i. e. Jehoiakim Jehoiakim another Jechonias that dyed childless Zedekias his uncle succeeding him and Assir succeeding Zedekias and then Salathiel the son of Neri was Assir's heir and so is here said to be begotten by Jechoniah For that of leaving one heir or successor is a kind of civil begetting and which the Hebrew 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 will bear as God is said to have begotten sons whom he hath only adopted And therefore when Ier. 22. 28. there is mention of Jechoniahs seed cast into a land c. i. e. carried captive with him and 1 Chron. 3. 17. when in his genealogy we read The sons of Iechoniah Assir and Salathiel his son this

son of Jorim which was the son of Matthat which was the son of Levi 30. Which was the son of Simeon which was the son of Juda which was the son of Joseph which was the son of Jonan which was the son of Eliakim 31. Which was the son of Melea which was the son of Menam which was the son of Mattatha which was the son of Nathan which was the son of David 32. Which was the son of Jesse which was the son of Obed which was the son of Boos which was the son of Salmon which was the son of Naasson 33. Which was the son of Aminadab which was the son of Aram which was the son of Esrom which was the son of Phares which was the son of Judah 34. Which was the son of Jacob which was the son of Isaac which was the son of Abraham which was the son Tharah which was the son of Nachor 35. Which was the son of Saruch which was the son of Ragau which was the son of Phaleg which was the son of Heber which was the son of Sala 36. Which was the son of Cainan which was the son of Arphaxad which was the son of Sem which was the son of Noah which was the son of Lamech 37. Which was the son of Mathusala which was the son of Enoch which was the son of Jared which was the son of Maleleel which was the son of Cainan 38. Which was the son of Enos which was the son of Seth which was the son of Adam which was the son of God Annotations on Chap. III. V. 1. Governor Some question may be what is here meant by 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 But Jac. Cujacius the learned Lawyer hath cleared it Rectiùs Vetus interpres Luc. 1. Procurante Pilato quàm alii praeside Praeses enim Syriae tum fuit Vitellius vir Consularis Procurator Pilatus Eques Romanus Cujus rei authores habeo Tertullianum Tacitum Josephum The ancient interpreter Luc. 1. renders it more truly Pilate being procurator then others Pilate being President or Governor for Vitessius was then Governor of Syria one that had been Consul but Pilate a knight of Rome was Procurator So I learn from Tertullian Tacitus and Josephus Ib. Tetrarch of Ituraea That which is here said of Herod's brother Philip being Tetrarch of Ituraea and Trachonitis is thus farre confirmed by Josephus Ant. l. 18. c. 7. that this Philip died in the twentieth year of Tiberius having for the space of 37. years been Praefect of Trachonitis and Gaulanitis and Batanaea where in stead of Gaulanitis the truer reading is Auranitis of which we have mention in the same Josephus Ant. l. 15. c. 13. as a part of Zenodorus his province Trachonitis and B●tanaea being there named as the other parts of it the latter of which or else that and Auranitis together is sure the Ituraea here As for the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Tetrarch it denotes a principality of a fourth part and when Herod who is call'd so is elswhere call'd King Herod the word King is to be taken in that latitude as to signifie no more then what Tetrarch here doth one placed by the Romans over this Region of Galilee with Regal power and for life and thereby differing from the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a Governor such as Pilate here and Mat. 27. 2. with Commission for so many years 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 1 Pet. 2. 14. a Deputy of the supreme and as a Steward in a family dispensing it under him 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and Procurator V. 2. High Priests Concerning the two 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or high Priests in this place and the reconciling it with the Old Testament where there was to be but one at a time one of the sons of Aaron Ex. 29. 30. Lev. 16. 32. and he to continue not for a year only but for his life whereas here it seems to be otherwise many things have diversly been said by learned men Without surveying of their severall conjectures I shall first think it worth observing that in the books of Samuel when sure there was but one high Priest Ahimelech the son of Ahitub being slain and Abiathar succeeding him in the high Priests office 1 Sam. 22. there is yet after that frequent mention of Zadok and Abiathar together 2 Sam. 15. 35. Zadok and Abiathar the priests and c. 17. 15. and c. 19. 11. and 20. 25. and 1 Chron. 15. 11. every where Zadok and Abiathar priests and Zadok plac'd before Abiathar constantly as Annas before Caiaphas here The reason of which is probably this because though Zadok was not actually high Priest in Davids time yet being the son of Ahitub 2 Sam. 8 17. not that Ahitub the father of Ahimelech 1 Sam. 22. 11. who was of Ithamars line 1 Chron. 24. 2. but another 1 Chron. 6. 8. and 53. the lineal successor of Eleazar v. 4. and 50 to him the High-Priesthood regularly belonged and so after the expulsion of Abiathar the last of Eli's and so of Ithamars line 1 Kin. 2. 26 27. was restored to him 1 Kin. 2. 35. and Abiathar being in Davids time the High Priest of Eli's and so of Ithamars line to which it seems it was changed from Eleazars and continued in that line for some time Zadok being a principall person in authority with David a Priest and regularly heire to the High-priesthood is constantly joyned with and set before Abiathar the high Priest Agreeable to this example it is that Annas father-in law to the high Priest of that year Caiaphas a most eminent person himself and one that had been high-Priest also and I suppose the chief of the race of Aarons sons then alive as Zadok was is here set before and joyned with Caiaphas and call'd 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 high Priest though punctually he executed not the office of the high Priest This being said by way of preparation the main of the difficulty may perhaps be removed by observing of three things First That at this time the land being under the Roman Emperour whose name and the year of his reigne is set down at the beginning of the verse as also his Procurator of Judaea Pontius Pilate and the Tetrarchs of other places the succession of the high-Priests was now changed The one lineal descendent in the family of Aaron which which was to continue for life being not permitted to succeed 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 saith Eusebius l. 1. c. 18. but some other whom he pleased named to that office by the Procurator every year or renewed as often as he pleased To which purpose is that of Theophylact 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 They who were at that time high Priests of the Jewes invaded that dignity bought it and so destroyed the Law which prescribed a succession in the family of Aaron Secondly That there was at this time after the Roman Conquest and before the destruction of the Temple whensoever they made no King of but
