Is come.
He was not fetched, not forced, sponte venit; of his own accord he is come. aNo man taketh my life from me, but I lay it down of my self. bAmbrose on these words of Christ; Are ye come out against a thief, with swords and staves to take me? Stultum est cum gladijs eum quarere, qui ultro se off•rt. It was superfluous folly to apprehend him with weapons, that willingly offered himself: to seek him in the night by treason, as if he shunned the light, who was every day teaching publicly in the Temple. Sed factum congruit tempori & personis: quia cùm essent tenebrae, in tenebroso tempore tenebrosum opus excercebant. The fact agrees to the time and Persons: they were darkness, therefore they do the work of darkness in a time of darkness. Indeed he prays; Father, save m•e from this hour: but withal he corrects himself; Therefore came I to this hour.
