Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Ver. 22. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled] An angel's testimony is not to be taken, if it be beside or against the written word. I am of them that keep the sayings of this book, saith the angel to the apostle, Revelation 22:5; "For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven," Psalms 119:82 .
