said not unto him, He shall not die, but if I will that he tarry till 1
come, what is that to theef" (John xxi. 23). The sound of these
' Cepha, which occurs also in the Gospel of St. John and the Firnt
Epistle to the Corinthians, is the Chaldee form of the apostle's name, and
has the same signification as the Greek lUi-poc, a shim.
352 SCRIPTUKE HISTORY. CHAP. XXX.
words would cheat the sense, if they were not meant to promise a
very long life ; but beyond this they contain the positive prediction
that John alone of all the apostles would survive the Destruction of
Jerusalem. We have found him, in the opening scenes of the
"Acts," specially associated with Peter, and he last appears as
joining to confer the gift of the Holy Ghost on those very Samari-
tans upon whom he had once wished to call down another sort of
fire from heaven (Acts iii., iv., viii. ; comp. Luke ix. 51-">G).
Though he did not speak in the "Council of Jerusalem," Paul
names him, with Peter and James, as the " pillars " of the Church,
who shared in the more private conferences and in the agreement
about their work among the Gentiles and the Jews (Gal. ii. 9).
We next hear of John in that close connection with Asia Minor
which is attested by his great "Revelation," addressed, with its in-
troductory Epistles, to the Seven Churches of the Province of Asia.
Of these, EPHESUS, which tradition makes his special bishopric, still
preserves in its ruins the name of the " Holy Divine." His con-
nection with that Church can not have begun before the date of
Paul's Epistle to Timothy ; and his Epistles to the Seven Churches
imply that he was banished to Patmos at the time of some great
persecution. The general weight of testimony fixes this under
DOMITIAN, who reigned from 81 to 9G A.D. Among the legends
of the apostle's later life, which are of very various authority, is the
beautiful scene of his being carried into the Church of Ephesns to
utter, with his failing strength, the memorable words of his Epistle,
".Little children, love one another." The time of his death is va-
riously given ; but the earliest date is considerably after the De-
struction of Jerusalem by Titus in A.D. 70. Tims did he "tarry
till Christ came" in the judgment which he had described in that
great final discourse to his disciples, which makes the fate of the
Jewish nation the type of his last coming and of the end of the
world (Matt. xxiv.).
For the destruction of Jerusalem may well be called the coining
of the Son of Man, not only in just judgment upon those who had
rejected him ; not only as a sovereign visits with desolation a re-
bellious province that has refused all offers of mercy ; but as the
completion of the first great step in the establishment of his king-
dom upon earth. And since this is the most momentous revolu-
tionary epoch in the religious history of the world that ever was or
that ever shall be, it is fitly made, in the latter part of the discourse,
the type of the "coming of the Son of Man in the clouds of heaven
with power and great glory," to destroy all that is earthly and cor-
rupt in the Church and world, to "gather his elect from- the four
winds of heaven," to judge the quick and the dead, and to establish
his everlasting kingdom.

The TALENT is often mentioned in the New Testament, but in a
manner which leaves it quite undetermined whether the word is
a translation of the old Hebrew kikkar, or whether it refers to the
Greek or other systems which prevailed throughout the East. Of
these systems the most general was :

(1) The ATTIO TALENT OF SILVER, worth about 243 15s., or)
