And he said unto them, these are the words which I spake unto you, etc.] Or this is the substance of them, the sense and meaning of them; for what follows, we do not find any where expressed in so many words: while I was yet with you; that is, whilst he was in his state of humiliation, whilst he dwelt among them, and had his abode with them; otherwise he was now with them, but not to continue with them; in a short time he was to ascend to his God, and their God, to his Father, and their Father: that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning me: concerning his sufferings, and death, and resurrection from the dead, spoken of in (<010315>Genesis 3:15 <235301>Isaiah 53:1-12 <270926>Daniel 9:26 <280602>Hosea 6:2 <192201>Psalm 22:1-31) (<191610>Psalm 16:10) and in this he refers to what he had said to his disciples in (<401621>Matthew 16:21 17:22,23 20:18,19) and alludes to the usual distinction among the Jews of the books of the Old Testament into the Law, the Prophets, and the Hagiographa; among which last stands the book of Psalms, and is put for the whole; a division often to be met with in both their Talmuds f715, and other writings f716.
