03.11 Evening:

Jesus wept.

A Man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief.--We have not an High Priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities.--It became Him, for Whom are all things, and by Whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the Captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.--Though He were a Son, yet learned He obedience by the things which He suffered;

I was not rebellious, neither turned away back. I gave My back to the smiters, and My cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not My Face from shame and spitting.

Behold how He loved him!--He took not on Him the nature of angels; but He took on Him the seed of Abraham. Wherefore in all things it behoved Him to be made like unto His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

03.11 Evening:

(John 11:35)Jesus wept.

(Isaiah 53:3)He is despised and rejected of men; a Man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from Him; He was despised, and we esteemed Him not.--(Hebrews 4:15)For we have not an High Priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.--(Hebrews 2:10)For it became Him, for Whom are all things, and by Whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the Captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.--(Hebrews 5:8)Though He were a Son, yet learned He obedience by the things which He suffered;

(Isaiah 50:5,6)The Lord God hath opened Mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back. I gave My back to the smiters, and My cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not My Face from shame and spitting.

(John 11:36)Then said the Jews, Behold how He loved him!--(Hebrews 2:16,17)For verily He took not on Him the nature of angels; but He took on Him the seed of Abraham. Wherefore in all things it behoved Him to be made like unto His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
