To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is so inexpressibly forcible, coming from His very own lips, as descriptive of what He Himself would do." So also the account of the raising of Lazarus, or the close of the eleventh chapter of St. Matthew, ** first touching on His greatness, and the incommunicable nature of His union with God ; and then directly the words, * Come unto me,' — as if He must not for a moment depart from the character of the man of sorrows — the Saviour and Mediator." So, too, in his later life at Rugby, it was ...impossible to forget the deep emo- tion with which he was agitated, when, on a comparison having been made in his family circle, which seemed to place St. Paul above St. John, the tears rushed to his eyes, and in his own earnest and loving tone, he repeated one of the verses from St. John, and begged that the comparison might never again be made. It would be easy to multiply illustrations of this feeling ; but one more will suflfice. Finding that one of his children had been greatly shocked and overcome by the first sight of death, he tenderly endeavoured to remove the feeling which had been awakened, and opening a Bible, pointed to the words, " Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie, and the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself." Nothing, he said, to his mind, afforded us such comfort, when shrinking from the outward accompaniments of death, — the grave, the grave-clothes, the loneliness, — as the thought that all these had been around our Lord Himself, round Him who died, and is now alive for evermore.
