JOHN'S aOSPEL, AND ON THE INSTITUTION OF THE LORD'S SUPPER IN COISTN; JSCTIOISr theretstith. \ / =■■.■' / ■/A-^ v-.\ The objects of this inelaboratei paper are, first, to show our Lord's own exposition of the texti noticed, which have been relied on by some to prove a **Real Presence " in an untrue sense; and, secondly, to indicate what Scripture does not teach, as to the mea»r- ing of the words used bv Jesus, at the Institution of the Last Supper. Notes on the 6th Chapter of St. John's Gospel, and , the Institution of the Lord's Supper in con- ' nection therewith. on There is a parallel as respects our Lord's utterances, between the dialogue at Capernaum narrated in this chapter, and the conversation between jesus and the Samaritan woman, at the well, which is the subject of the 4th chapter of the same Gospel. At Capernaum our Lord spoke of himself as "the Bread of God ;" at Sychar as the source and giver of "Living water." The woman said to him, "Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep." At Cai)ernaum the Jews said "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" At the well he said "Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst." To the Jews he .said "He that cometh to me shall never hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst." The Samaritan woman said, "Give me this water that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw." The Jews at Capernaum said '*Lord, evermore give us this bread." In connection with what was said by Jesus at the well read Is. : xii. 2-3. The antecedents of the two rases, alike, serve to explain the words afterwards uttered by our Lord. The conversation at Sychar was preceded by his "weariness" and his asking drink of the woman. The antecedents of the dialogue at Capernaum were the hungering and the subsequent miraculous feeding of the multitude, by the sea of Tiberias. A comp.arisnn between the two narratives is also suggestive as respects a difference that marks :S^^(o\^ >^fey^ of t he elucidated the figures.

Son, a phrase also used by him there. This, thus rests on authority that can never be shaken*. — Compare V. 4-. with V 54. of c:iap. 6. The first is, "ami this is the will of him that sent me, that everyone which seeth the Son, and beheveth on him, may have everlasting life : and I will raise him up at the last day." Here, "having everlasting life," and "being raised up ' are made to depend on "seeing the Son and belii-ving on him " The language of v. 54. is, "Whoso eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day " Here we have those very same effects ascribed to "eating the flesh" and "drinking the blood." ! Our Lord has moreover thus identified the meaning of "eating the flesh" with that of "eating the bread •" I'he 51st verse is, "I am the living bread which came down from Heaven, if any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever ; nntf the bread that I will give is mij flesh, which I will give for the life of the world." On what then, does "the life of the world," as referred to an individual man, depend according to the testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ? He has thus declared it to depend, alike and imlif>rently, on eating the bread of life; or on "eating the flesh and drinking the blood of the Son of Man ;" or on "seeing the Son of Man and be- having on him." He who does the one or the other of these three things, differing m words, but identical in import, hath, independent- ly of all other things, eternal life ! ^^ As the phrase "living water" was used by our Lord at the well, in a sense purely figurative, an authority would be required, even if Jesus had not explained the figures used at Capernaum, for holding that He at the last named place, spoke of eating the bread or the flesh, or of drinking the blood in other than a purely figurative sense ' When I speak of authority, I mean that of the Word of God. In the opinions of uninspired men, individually or collectively considered, a sanction can be found for almost any conceivable interpretation of any con- troverted passage of Holy Scripture. Such opinions, whether of in- dividuals, churches or Councils, as they are often conflicting, eve.i when pronounced by men or associations equally competent to judge and, always but the judgments of fallible men, are in truth, therefore^ no authority whatever. This is as true with regard to the Fathers, as with respect to the best and wisest Christians who have lived in sub- sequent ages. We find superstitions so marking even the most ex- cellent of the Fathers, as to lessen materially the weight of their opinions. (See Appendix A.) Such indeed is the nature of Revelation, and such the constitution of man's nature, that for ascertaining the meaning of Holy Scripture where it is doubtftil, recourse must be had to private interpretation "^ -^' "Prove all things" is a precept as obligatory on us, as it was on the cotempory jgs_ofjthg Agostles^hgm * * i. e. 'fbfttlhere is no authoritative teacher in the last resort but the Spirit of Truth.

''eats his bmhir or "di-inks his b/omi." St. Peter writes of Jesus thus, "Who is gone into Heaven, and is on the right hand of God " Not a word is added bv that Apostle, there or elsewhere, to intimate his belief of a personal jyresence in any sense or under any circumstances of his Lord on Earth. Would not this silence of the inspired writers, especially that of those whose minds were brought to the very subject of Christ's ab- sence from this world, in relation to his former presence in it, on the supposition that the doctrine is true, be utterly inexplicable. ? There would be no conceivable motive that could have swayed the Apostles' minds to suppress mention of the doctrine, if of God. That it never occurred to them, or that it was never suggested to them when they wrote, is, on the hypothesis of its truth, absolutely inadmissible in idea. But, with regard to St. Paul, the question, whether or not he considered the peculiar doctrine to be of God, does not rest on an inference from silence or on negative testimony. It is certain that he did not recognise it as suck. To Him the mode of the institu- tion was a subject of special revelation. That he relates in i Cor XI. V 23. 24. 25. And then he adds, "For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come." J he language of this verse may be a part of the revelation or the words of the Apostle. Assume it to be the latter, as it probably is Speaking of the consecrated elements, he calls the bread "irearf." with- out any allusion to our Lord's bodij ; and he tl.'clares the institution to be cotnmemorative. No language of his can be cited from any writing of his to shew that he regarded the institution in any other ,f lO light, or that he viewed the consecrated hr..H L/ T :^f ''' ^^'^h is incoLi^^^^^^^^ *he extent laUyely to St. Paul possibly ^^Ztenf Ul *^f'^^*^ ofthiugH re- -r^^l^^ZZTCt^ of the It seems probable that oSr 2,rd TetSe^^'^u '""^^^ ^^ the^mbofs ticuJar elements.

NOTE a. Peter, at the close of the discourse at Capernaum, thus declared the substance of our Lord's teaching there : Speaking for the Twelve he said, "We beliem and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God ;" in other words, "Thou hast the words of eternal life;" and thou utteredst them when thou saidst, "He that believeth on me hath eternal life." The Apostle thus showed his apprehension of the one sense in which Jesus had used all the phrases ! He did not even inti„iate his conception of any other sense of "eating and drinking the Jiftsh a7id blood of the Son of Man." than that convened by the words, 'Seeing and believing on the Son of Man /" Are the advocates of a mystical sense of the former phrase blind to this? Do they understand our Lord's words woM>, better than Peter understood them then ? APPENDIX. iz: ad ise an en APPENDIX. NOTE A. ,, }^^^^ *^^ learned and excellent St. Augustine, who wrote thus : ''Then didst thou by a vision discover to thy forenamed Bishop, (St. Ambrose) where the bodies of Gervasius and Protasius, the martyrs, lay hid (whom thou hadst in thy secret treasury stored, uncorrupted, so many yearsj whence thou mightest seasonably produce them to repress the fury of a woman, but an Empress. (Justina.) For when they were discovered and dug up, and with due honour translated to the Ambrosian Basilica, not only they who were vexed with unclean spirits (the devils confessing themselves) were cured, but a certain man, who had for many years been blind, a citizen and well known to the city, asking and hearing the reason of the people's confused joy, sprang forth, desiring his guide to lead him thither. Led thither, he begged to be allowed to touch with his handkerchief the bier of Thy samts whose death is precious in Thy sight. Which when he had done, and put to his eyes tlrey were forthwith opened."— St. Ambrose preached a sermon on this miracle' Libr : of the Fathers of the Holy CathoUc Church, i Vol. 167. sec 16.
