لِيَتِمَّ قَوْلُ إِشَعْيَاءَ النَّبِيِّ الَذي قَالَهُ:«يَارَبُّ، مَنْ صَدَّقَ خَبَرَنَا؟ وَلِمَنِ اسْتُعْلِنَتْ ذِرَاعُ الرَّبِّ؟»

That the saying of Esaias . . . might be fulfilled--This unbelief did not at all set aside the purposes of God, but, on the contrary, fulfilled them.

Thus the one was set over against the other. Let us see what honours were heaped on the head of the Lord Jesus, even in the depths of his humiliation. I. Mary did him honour, by anointing his feet at the supper in Bethany (Joh 12:1-11). II. The common people did him honour, with their acclamations of joy, when he rode in triumph into Jerusalem (Joh 12:12-19). III. The Greeks did him honour, by enquiring after him with a longing desire to see him (Joh 12:20-26). IV. God the Father did him honour, by a voice from heaven, bearing testimony to him (Joh 12:27-36). V. He had honour done him by the Old Testament prophets, who foretold the infidelity of those that heard the report of him (Joh 12:37-41). VI. He had honour done him by some of the chief rulers, whose consciences witnessed for him, though they had not courage to own it (Joh 12:42, Joh 12:43. VII. He claimed honour to himself, by asserting his divine mission, and the account he gave of his errand into the world (Joh 12:44-50).

مَنْ صَدَّقَ خَبَرَنَا، وَلِمَنِ اسْتُعْلِنَتْ ذِرَاعُ الرَّبِّ؟
لكِنْ لَيْسَ الْجَمِيعُ قَدْ أَطَاعُوا الإِنْجِيلَ، لأَنَّ إِشَعْيَاءَ يَقُولُ:«يَارَبُّ مَنْ صَدَّقَ خَبَرَنَا؟»
ثُمَّ إِشَعْيَاءُ يَتَجَاسَرُ وَيَقُولُ:«وُجِدْتُ مِنَ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَطْلُبُونِي، وَصِرْتُ ظَاهِرًا لِلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَسْأَلُوا عَنِّي».
وَأَمَّا لِلْمَدْعُوِّينَ: يَهُودًا وَيُونَانِيِّينَ، فَبِالْمَسِيحِ قُوَّةِ اللهِ وَحِكْمَةِ اللهِ.
أَنْ يُعْلِنَ ابْنَهُ فِيَّ لأُبَشِّرَ بِهِ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ، لِلْوَقْتِ لَمْ أَسْتَشِرْ لَحْمًا وَدَمًا
فَأجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُ:«طُوبَى لَكَ يَا سِمْعَانُ بْنَ يُونَا، إِنَّ لَحْمًا وَدَمًا لَمْ يُعْلِنْ لَكَ، لكِنَّ أَبِي الَّذِي فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ.
قَرِيبٌ بِرِّي. قَدْ بَرَزَ خَلاَصِي، وَذِرَاعَايَ يَقْضِيَانِ لِلشُّعُوبِ. إِيَّايَ تَرْجُو الْجَزَائِرُ وَتَنْتَظِرُ ذِرَاعِي.
لأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِسَيْفِهِمُِ امْتَلَكُوا الأَرْضَ، وَلاَ ذِرَاعُهُمْ خَلَّصَتْهُمْ، لكِنْ يَمِينُكَ وَذِرَاعُكَ وَنُورُ وَجْهِكَ، لأَنَّكَ رَضِيتَ عَنْهُمْ.
فَصَلَّى حَزَقِيَّا الْمَلِكُ وَإِشَعْيَاءُ بْنُ آمُوصَ النَّبِيُّ لِذلِكَ وَصَرَخَا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ،
اِسْتَيْقِظِي، اسْتَيْقِظِي! الْبَسِي قُوَّةً يَا ذِرَاعَ الرَّبِّ! اسْتَيْقِظِي كَمَا فِي أَيَّامِ الْقِدَمِ، كَمَا فِي الأَدْوَارِ الْقَدِيمَةِ. أَلَسْتِ أَنْتِ الْقَاطِعَةَ رَهَبَ، الطَّاعِنَةَ التِّنِّينَ؟
