To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
' The apposite authorities will appear in i, he sequel. * John xix, 34. 36, 37 § Rev i. 7, 101 Zech. Xii. 10. And part of it lias been mis- quoted by John : ' And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, a spirit of grace and supplications^ and they shall look on me, whom they have pierced/ So it stands in the English version, but before I state what it ought to be, I would observe, that before the evangelist (who in his account of the crucifixion, applies thi...s passage as referring to Jesus being pierced with a spear, ) could make this passage fit his pur- pose, he had to substitute the word him for me, as it is in the Hebrew, confirmed I be-? lieve by all the versions, ancient and modern, without exception. Yet with this change, it will by no means answer his purpose ; for the Hebrew word here translated pierced, in this place signifies blasphemed or insulted, as is understood by Grotius, who confirms this ren- dering from the Hebrew of Leviticus xxiv.
