<p>2:17- see on 14:29; Mk. 10:38.</p><p><em>His disciples remembered that it was written: Zeal for Your house shall consume me</em>- This would have been an example of how the Comforter brought such things to their remembrance (14:26). He knew himself that &quot;the zeal of thine house hath <em>eaten me up</em>&quot; (Ps. 69:9); the same Hebrew word is used as in Lev. 6:10: &quot;take up the ashes which the fire hath <em>consumed</em>&quot;. Even in His life, the Lord felt that He had reached this point of total consumption as a living sacrifice. A Psalm evidently relevant to the final crucifixion is applied to the Lord&rsquo;s behaviour; as if the disciples later realized that this early visit to Jerusalem was a living out in the Lord of the final one. As so often, the spirit of the Lord's final death was seen in Him and His ways throughout His ministry.</p>
