Jonah 1. 17. | Matth. 12. 39. Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days, and three nights. | An evil and adulterous generation seeketh a sign, but no sign shall be given unto it, save the sign of the Prophet Jonah. 40. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whales belly: So shall the Son of Man be, &c. ⟨p. 38⟩Isaiah 61. 1. | Luk. 4. 18. The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me: therefore hath the Lord anointed me: he hath sent me to preach good tidings unto the poor to bind up the broken hearted, to preach liberty to the Captives, and to them that are bound the opening of the prison: verse 2 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our god. | The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, therefore he hath anointed me that I should preach good tidings to the poor, he hath sent me to heal the broken in heart, that I should preach deliverance to the Captives, &c. verse 21 This day is this Scripture fulfilled in your ears. Psal. 69. 27. | John 19. 28. They gave me gall for my meat, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. | That the Scripture might be fulfilled he said, I thirst. verse 29 Therefore there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a sponge with vinegar, ⟨p. 39⟩and put it about an bysope stalk, & put it to his mouth. Exod. 12. 46. | Joh. 19. 36. Neither shall ye break a bone thereof. | These things were done, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, there shall not a bone of him be broken. Psal. 69. 25. |
