Geneva Bible Notes (1560)Matthew 8

3 ! The captaines faith.

4 c Our Sauiour wolde not contemne that which was ordeined by the Law, seing as yet the ceremonies thereof were not abolished.

4 b He wolde not yet be throughly knowen, but had his time & houre appointed.

11 e Which are strange people & the Gentiles, to whome the couenant of God did not properly apperteine.

17 g The Prophete speaketh chiefly of the feblenes & disease of our soules, with Jesus Christ hathe borne: therefore he setteth his great mercie and power before our eyes by healing the bodie.

19 h He thoght by this meanes to courrie fauour with the world: but Jesus sheweth him that he is farre wide from that he loketh for: for in stead of worldelie welth, there is but pouertie in Christ.

19 ! The Scribe that wolde followe Christ.

21 ! Christ prouertie.

21 k To succour & helpe him in his olde age til he dye, and then I wil followe thee wholy.

22 l No duetie or loue is to be preferred to Gods calling: therefore Jesus calleth them dead, which are hindered by any worldlie thing to followe Christ.
