Ecclesiastes 7 overview — Ecclesiastes 7:0 and Ecclesiastes 10:0 show a striking resemblance to the style of the writer of the Book of Proverbs.

John 6:16-21 — See this miracle of walking on the sea explained in the notes at Matthew 14:22-33. Compare Mark 6:45-52.John 6:21Immediately - Quickly. Before a long time.

A similar sentiment is found in Micah 4:1-4, and Jeremiah 31:34; but by the prophets, here, is meant the book of the prophets, and it is probable that Jesus had reference only to the place in Isaiah, as this was the usual way of quoting the prophets.Shall

John 6:56 — Dwelleth in me - Is truly and intimately connected with me. To dwell or abide in him is to remain in the belief of his doctrine, and in the participation of the benefits of his death.

Joshua 15:11 — unas tres millas de la costa ya doce millas al sur de Jope. Se llama Jabneh en , donde se registra que Uzías se lo quitó a los filisteos y destruyó sus fortificaciones.
