Psalms 69:8-12

Oh! how precious are these words of our Christ! And how were they all fulfilled in his own sacred person! When he came to his own, his own received him not. And was not Jesus treated worse than a stranger, when, though their law commanded them to remember the heart of a stranger, yet of Jesus, their Brother after the flesh, they said, As for this fellow, we know not from whence he is? John 1:10; Deuteronomy 10:19; John 9:29. Christ's zeal for his Father's honor was so manifested in the temple, that the disciples were struck with it, and immediately remembered this very scripture; John 2:17. And the reproaches Christ sustained, the Holy Ghost, by his servant the apostle Paul, directly applied to him in a plain scripture, Romans 15:3.
