14.  Having been bound, He came from Caiaphas to Pilate,—is this too written? yes; And having bound Him, they led Him away as a present to the king of Jarim Hosea x. 6:  (R.V.) It also shall be carried unto Assyria for a present to king Jareb.  This passage is applied in the same manner to Luke xxiii. 7 by Justin M. (Tryph. § 103), Tertullian (c. Marcion. iv. 42), and Rufinus (de Symbolo, § 21), who adds,—“And rightly does the Prophet add the name ‘Jarim,’ which means ‘a wild vine,’ for Herod was…a wild vine, i.e. of an alien stock.”  For the various interpretations of the name see the Commentaries on Hosea v. 13, and x. 6; Schrader, Cuneijorm Inscriptions, II. § 439, Driver, Introduction to O. T. Literature, p. 283..  But here some sharp hearer will object, “Pilate was not a king,” (to leave for a while the main parts of the question,) “how then having bound Him, led they Him as a present to the king?”  But read thou the Gospel; When Pilate heard that He was of Galilee, he sent Him to Herod Luke xxiii. 6, 7.; for Herod was then king, and was present at Jerusalem.  And now observe the exactness of the Prophet; for he says, that He was sent as a present; for the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together, for before they were at enmity Ibid. xxiii. 12..  For it became Him who was on the eve of making peace between earth and heaven, to make the very men who condemned Him the first to be at peace; for the Lord Himself was there present, who reconciles Job xii. 24:  (R.V.) He taketh away the heart of the chiefs of the people of the earth.  The rendering “who reconciles” (ὁ διαλλάσσων, Sept.) is forbidden by the context. the hearts of the princes of the earth.  Mark the exactness of the Prophets, and their true testimony.
