Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

John 12 - Introduction

Jesus vindicates Mary anointing his feet. The people flock to see Lazarus: the chief priests consult to kill him. Christ rideth into Jerusalem. Certain Greeks desire to see Jesus: he foretelleth his death. The Jews are generally blinded: yet many chief rulers believe, but do not confess him: therefore Jesus calleth earnestly for confession of faith.

Anno Domini 33.
