For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me [m] henceforth, till ye shall say, "Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. And after I am once gone from you, ye shall see me no more, receive no more admonitions from me, till I come to take vengeance of you, at which time you shall be forced to confess me; and those that will not confess me now, would then be most glad (if it would be accepted) to use that acclamation which the children did, when ye were displeased with them, ch. xxi. 9, to obtain any mercy from me. a bird her young ones, ὕρνει τὰ νοσσία. 10 after a while, till you would say. 11 Blessed in the name of the Lord be he that cometh: see ch. xxi. 9. [m] henceforth] Ἀπ' ἄρτι here, as in some other places, signifies not from henceforth, as it were from that very time wherein he spake, m L. 2. p. 144. p. 335. n Τεσσαράκοντα ἐφ' ὅλοις ἔτεσι μετὰ τὴν κατὰ τοῦ Χριστοῦ τόλμαν, τὸν κατ' αὐτῶν ἔλεθρον ὑπερθεμίνης προνοίας. [f] hang] The word κρέμαται may fitly, and according to the notion and use of it in sacred authors, and according to the importance of this place, most properly be rendered conspire or agree, for so the Hebrew קָשַׁר, which signifies an agreement of minds, a covenant, or league, Gen. xliv. 30, is rendered ἐκκρέμαται, where we read, is bound up with, noting an huge kindness and conjunction of affections between Jacob and Benjamin. As in Chrysostom, Epist. κ'. σφόδρα κεκρεμάσθαι τῶν ἐπιστολῶν, is "earnestly to desire his epistles." So Judith viii. 24, where we vulgarly read their hearts depend on us, it is most proper to render it, their hearts agree or conspire with us, or are bound up with us. So Luke xix. 48, the people ἐξεκρέματο αὐτοῦ ἀκούων, as they heard him they took his part, were of his side, agreed with him. So in Chrysostom, Ep. ξή : Τῆς θεοσεβείας ἐκκρέμαται τῆς σῆς, καὶ ἡμῶν σφοδρός ἐστιν ἑραστής. "He affects you much, and is an earnest lover of me," and Ep. ρκζ'. ἀγαπώντων καὶ ἐκκρεμαμένων, "loving and tendering." So in Palladius, ἐκκρεμαμένη πάσῃ ψήφῃ τῇ κόρῃ, "placing all her affection on the young maid." And so here in these two commandments all the law and the prophets conspire, that is, the whole Old Testament agrees, conspires with these, these are the sum of all that is said there. But if it be rendered hang, then the meaning will be, that all commanded in the Jewish received scripture depends upon one of these two, hangs on one of these great pegs, that is, is in the last resort reducible to one of these heads.
