John 15:25
Verse 25. Written in their law] See Clarke on Joh 10:34. These words are taken from Ps 69:4. This psalm is applied to Christ, Joh 2:17; 19:28; to the vengeance of God against Judea, Ac 1:20. The psalm seems entirely prophetic of Christ. His deep abasement is referred to, Ps 69:2-5; his prayer for his disciples and followers, Ps 69:6; that for himself, in the garden of Gethsemane, Ps 69:15-19; his crucifixion, Ps 69:20-22; the vengeance of God against the Jews, from Ps 69:23-29; the glorious manner in which he gets out of all his sufferings, Ps 69:30; the abolition of the Mosaic rites and ceremonies, Ps 69:31, compared with Isa 66:3; and, finally, the establishment of the Gospel through the whole world, in Ps 69:33 and following verses. The reader will do well to consult the psalm before he proceeds.
