The manner in which Christ died has already been opened in the solitude and patience in which he died.
基督受死的方式已经在他孤独和忍耐的死亡中展现出来。
The third, to wit, the instructiveness of his death, now follows, in these seven excellent and weighty sayings, which dropped from his blessed lips upon the tree, while his sacred blood dropped on the earth from his wounded hands and feet;
第三,即他死亡的教导性,现在体现在这七句卓越而深刻的话语中,当他神圣的血从受伤的手脚滴落在地上时,这些话语从他蒙福的嘴唇上在十字架上说出;
so that on the cross he exercised both his priestly and Prophetic office together, redeeming us by his blood, and instructing us by his words.
因此在十字架上,他同时行使了祭司和先知的职分,用他的血救赎我们,用他的话教导我们。
These seven words of Christ upon the cross are his last words, with which he breathed out his soul.
基督在十字架上的这七句话是他的遗言，他在说完这些话后便咽下了最后一口气。
The last words of a dying man are remarkable; the scripture puts a remark upon them, 2 Sam. 23:1. “Now these be the last words of David.”
临终之人的遗言总是令人印象深刻；圣经也特别注明了这一点，撒母耳记下23:1说：”以下是大卫的遗言。”
How remarkable are the last words of Christ.
基督的遗言是多么值得注意啊。
These words are seven in number; three directed to his Father, and four more to those about him.
这些话共有七句；其中三句是对他的父说的，另外四句是对周围的人说的。
Of the former sort this is one, Father, forgive them, etc.
属于前者的一句是：”父啊，赦免他们”等。
In which we have, First, The mercy desired by Christ, and that is forgiveness.
在这句话中，我们看到：首先，基督所求的怜悯，就是赦免。
Secondly, The persons for whom it is desired, [Them,] that is, those cruel and wicked persons that were now imbruing their hands in his blood.
其次，他为之求怜悯的对象，[“他们”]，就是那些正在沾染他鲜血的残忍邪恶之人。
And, Thirdly, The motive or argument urged to procure that mercy from his Father, for they know not what they do.
第三，他向父恳求这怜悯的动机或理由是，因为他们所做的，他们不晓得。
