IN speaking of the limited number of the Lord's testimonies on the subject of His atoning death, I allude to several elements in the public opinion of the age, which go far to explain the amount of reserve. Among other circumstances may be mentioned the fact that few of the Jews at that time retained a right idea of the atoning work or function of the Messiah, as it is represented in Isaiah's prophecy (Isa. liii.). The Jews in the time of Christ do not seem to have retained the belief of a suffering Messiah, or of His priesthood (Ps. ex. 4). Nay, the prophetical office, too, was swallowed up in the one notion of a temporal prince (see John i. 21, compared with Deut . xviii. 18). Bobger, in his Disjmtatio contra Eberhardum, quotes writers who assert, and also writers who deny, that the Jews in the time of Christ still had the idea. The evidence from the Gospels, that the idea had well nigh perished from the Jewish community, is almost conclusive. The Jews seem to have expected nothing but a temporal dominion, and a Messiah who should overthrow the power of Rome, and give to the Jewish people an ascendency among the nations. Their words at Jerusalem, "We have heard out of the law, that Christ abideth for ever" (John xii. 34), are decisive. The offence, too, which the multitude took at Capernaum, as De Wette and Meyer correctly show, must, in a large measure, be ascribed to His declaration, that He was to die as a suffering Messiah (John vi. 60).
