The harmony of the Gospels in the holy history of the humiliation and sufferings…

First, the high Priest did interrogate, Jesus of his Disciples, and of his doctrine, Joh. 18.19. what he asked concerning his Disciples is not said, nor was it worth the answering unto, probably he might enquire what chief men of mark and danger, might be among them? alas, Jesus Christ had only Fishermen, and men of inferior rank, Matthew the Publican was one of the chief, and therefore it is like that the Court insisted not upon this point. But that question about his doctrine, Jesus Christ saw it wisdom to answer unto. There question was not to know and learn his doctrine, for had it been so, Jesus Christ would surely have taught them; the willing and obedient Ear shall be instructed.
