On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

But in this public appearance, 1. The preparation was sudden and offhand. For his glory in the other world, and ours with him, preparation was made before the foundation of the world, for that was the glory his heart was upon; his glory in this world he was dead to, and therefore, though he had it in prospect, did not forecast for it, but took what came next.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

This is the heir--Sublime expression this of the great truth, that God's inheritance was destined for, and in due time is to come into the possession of, His own Son in our nature (Heb 1:2). come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance--that so, from mere servants, we may become lords.
