The most damaging criticism of Torrey is that of F. C. Burkitt in the Journal of Theological Studies, Oct. 1919, but I do not think that he answers Torrey's case. Especially 1 Cor. xv. and 1 Thess. iv. See p. 76. The reference is to certain American institutions, connected in the main with evangelising movements. Christianity had been profoundly changed by its passage from Galilee to Jerusalem.
The gentile jerked up his head and said, "Were you a slave?" "No, but my brother bound himself for twelve years," answered Gideon, looking at the gentile curiously. "Do the bondslaves make much trouble here?" he asked. Zebedee looked at him very closely. "In Galilee the slaves do not cause riots. The Jews do." James explained. "In Palestine there are more free men than slaves.
When Jesus expired, Luke tells us that many of His acquaintances, and the women that had followed Him from Galilee were standing afar off, beholding all that was done; John too was there, and others who had loved Him and were the grateful monuments of His healing power: they must have wondered greatly what would be done with that loved form.
Good work on remains of later historical periods is also being carried on under the auspices of the Deutsch-Orient Gesellschaft at Ba'albek and in Galilee.
But go, tell his disciples, and Peter, that he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him, as he told you. And they going out hastily, fled from the sepulchre, for trembling and astonishment had seized them: and they said not a word to any person, for they were affrighted.
He bore his honours all serenely, as though calmly conscious of his power to “bind and to loose.” Neither old “sacred” himself, nor any of his helpers, knew the road which I meant to take from Nazareth to the Sea of Galilee and from thence to Jerusalem, so I was forced to add another to my party by hiring a guide.
I would like much to see the fringes of the Jordan in spring-time, and Shechem, Esdraelon, Ajalon and the borders of Galilee but even then these spots would seem mere toy gardens set at wide intervals in the waste of a limitless desolation. Palestine sits in sackcloth and ashes. Over it broods the spell of a curse that has withered its fields and fettered its energies.
Luke's account is as follows: "And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. And the angel came in unto her and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
He went, as you will see, if you look at the previous circumstance, He went in order, if I might use such a word, to precipitate the collision, and to make His Crucifixion certain. He was under the ban of the Sanhedrim; but perfectly safe as long as He had stopped up among the hills of Galilee.
But he hasn't come; he has deceived us and put our lives in jeopardy, for if the Pharisees find us here they'll bring us before Pilate, who is a man without mercy, and eleven more will hang on crosses. Salome, mother of John and James, too, got in her word and railed against Jesus for having brought them all from Galilee for naught.
