on the subject, either for or against the use of wines.


                             THE BIBLE

          COMMENDS WINE:                     CONDEMNS WINE:

   _As an offering to God            _As a cause of violence and woe_:
   with oil and wheat_:                Prov. 4:17; 23:29-32.
     Numb. 18:12.
     Neh. 10:37-39.                  _Of self-security and irreligion:_
                                       Isa. 28:7; 56:12.
   _As a blessing to man_:             Hab. 2:5.
     Gen. 27:28-37.
     Deut. 7:13.                     _As a poison_:
     Judges 9:13.                      Deut. 32:33.
     Prov. 3:10.                       Prov. 23:31.
     Isa. 65:8.                        Hosea 7:5.
     Joel 3:18.
     Ps. 104:15.                     _As an accompaniment of
     Zech. 9:17.                     wickedness_:
                                       Isa. 5:22.
   _As an emblem of spiritual
   blessing_:                        _As an emblem of divine
     Isa. 55:1.                      wrath_:
     Sol. Song 7:9.                    Ps. 60:3; 75:8.
                                       Isa. 51:17.
   _As a perpetual memorial            Jer. 25:15.
   of Christ’s atoning                 Rev. 14:10; 16:19.
   sacrifice_:
     Matt. 26:26-29.                 _By the example of priests
     Mark 14:22-25.                  on entering the tabernacle_:
      1 Cor. 10:16.                     Lev. 10:8-11.

   _As a medicine_:                  _Of Rechabites_:
     Prov. 31:6, 7.                    Jer. 35:6.
      1 Tim. 5:23.
                                     _Of Nazarites_:
   _By the example of Jesus            Numb. 6:2, 3.
   Christ_:
     John 2:1-11.                    _Of Daniel_:
     Luke 7:34.                        Dan. 1:8, 12.

       *       *       *       *       *

Ch. 2: 12-22. CHRIST CASTS THE TRADERS OUT OF THE TEMPLE. AN
ILLUSTRATION OF THE CHARACTER OF CHRIST.--A SYMBOL OF THE WORK OF
CHRIST.--AN EXAMPLE TO THE FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST.

This incident is narrated only by John. It is not to be confounded
with the second casting out narrated by the synoptists. See note on
Matt. 21:12, 13. This occurred at the first Passover in Christ’s
public ministry; that at the last. There is a significance in the
repetition. It indicates both the tendency of a corrupt church to
corruption in spite of cleanings, a truth unhappily abundantly
illustrated in history; and the persistence of Christ’s zeal, a
quality imperfectly reflected in the zeal of his disciples. The
probable date of this event was March, A. D. 28.


    12 After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his
     mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they
     continued there not many days.
