The fact has been referred to already that at the great passover, in
the days of Hezekiah, to which the remnant of the ten tribes were
invited by the king, “a multitude of the people, even many of
Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not cleansed
themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it was
written,” not being “cleansed according to the purification of the
sanctuary;” that, thereupon, a plague was sent among them; but at
the intercession of the king, the Lord healed the people. (2 Chron.
xxx, 17-20.) In the law, it appears that, at the entreaty of certain
persons, who, at the regular time of the passover, were defiled by a
dead body, provision was made for a second passover, to be kept a
month later, by such as, by reason of defilement, or absence at a
great distance, could not keep it at the appointed time. (Num. ix, 6-
11.) These facts illustrate the statement of John respecting a certain
occasion when the “passover was nigh at hand; and many went out
of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify
themselves.”—John xi, 55. The self-washings could all be performed
by the people at home. But, in the later period of Jewish history, the
ashes were kept at Jerusalem, and the sprinkling of the unclean
usually performed there by the priests alone. Hence, the coming of
these Jews to Jerusalem for purifying before the feast. It is thus
evident that at all the annual feasts, the preparatory purifying of the
people must have been a very conspicuous feature of the occasion,
a fact of no little significance, as bearing upon the observances in
the Eleusinian mysteries, already referred to.
We have shown the name of baptism to have been used to
designate both the Levitical rite of sprinkling with the water of
separation and the ritual purifyings invented by the scribes. With the
growth of ritualistic zeal, the occasions for the latter observances
were multiplied. The earliest allusion to them, in the life of our
Savior, appears in connection with his first miracle, wrought in Cana
of Galilee at the marriage feast. “There were set there six water pots
of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing
two or three firkins apiece.”—John ii, 6. That this provision for the
purposes of ritual purifying upon such an occasion was absolutely
necessary, in obedience to the traditions of the scribes, will presently
appear.
The next occasion on which these rites come into notice, is
recorded by Luke. In the course of our Lord’s second tour through
Galilee, after having preached the gospel to a vast concourse, “a
certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and
sat down to meat. And when the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that
he had not first baptized (ebaptisthē), before dinner. And the Lord
said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the
cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and
wickedness. Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without
make that which is within also? But rather give alms of such things
as ye have; and behold all things are clean unto you.”—Luke xi, 37-
41.
The next incident is mentioned very briefly by Matthew (xv, 1-9),
and more fully in Mark. The apprehensions of the rulers at Jerusalem
seem to have been aroused by reports of Christ’s ministry, and the
excitement caused by it among the people of Galilee. And as they
had formerly sent messengers to challenge John, so, now, scribes
and Pharisees from Jerusalem were on the watch to find occasion
against Jesus. And “when they saw some of his disciples eat bread
with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen hands, they found fault.
For the Pharisees and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft,
eat not, holding the tradition of the elders. And when they come
from the market, except they baptize (ean mē baptisōntai), they eat
not, and many other things there be which they have received to
hold, as the baptisms (baptismous), of cups and pots, brazen vessels
and tables” (or “beds.” So the margin and the Greek.)—Mark vii, 1-4.
These are the only places in which the ritual purifyings of the
Pharisees are so mentioned as to shed light upon the subject of our
inquiry. In them, we trace three distinct observances. These are
enumerated by Mark, who represents them as common to “the
Pharisees and all the Jews.” They are, (1) Washing the hands, before
meals; (2) Baptism, after coming from the markets; (3) The
baptisms of utensils and furniture.
Another point in Mark’s statement is, that, “When they come from
the market, except they baptize, they eat not.” Here, it would seem
that Mark means something different and more important than the
ordinary washing of the hands, to which he has just before referred.
It is an additional statement, of other rites employed on special
occasions. The word, agora, which is translated “the market,” has a
much more extensive signification than the English word. Its primary
meaning is, a concourse, an assembly, of any kind. And while it was
used among others, to designate the assemblies for traffic, and
hence the places of such assemblies, it is not, in the text, to be
understood in that limited sense; but as comprehensive of all
promiscuous assemblages of the people, in which a person was
liable unwittingly to come in contact with the unclean. It was upon
occasion of our Savior’s coming from such an assembly, that the
Pharisee of whom Luke informs us was surprised that he had not
first baptized before dinner. He had been preaching in the midst of a
multitude “gathered thick together” (Luke xi, 29), when he received
and accepted the invitation to dine. He had thus been exposed to a
contact which the Pharisees would have carefully avoided, as liable
to involve them, unaware, in the extremest defilement, and to
render necessary special rites of purifying. This was undoubtedly the
cause of the surprise of the Pharisee at the conduct of Jesus.
As to the mode of the baptism here referred to, the gospels are
silent. In favor of the supposition that it was immersion, there is
nothing whatever in the Scriptures. It rests wholly upon the
assumption that that is the meaning of baptizo. The circumstances
all very strongly favor the conclusion, that as the major defilements
of the Mosaic law were all purged by sprinkling, so this, the major
defilement of Pharisaic tradition was cleansed in a kindred way.
Among the indications in favor of this conclusion are, the fact that
the provision made for purifying at the marriage feast excludes the
idea of immersion;—the entire silence of the Scriptures as to any
facilities for that purpose;—the incongruity of the supposition to the
circumstances of Jesus, in the act of sitting down at the Pharisee’s
table;—the absence from the narrative of any allusion to means
provided by the Pharisee for the performance, in that mode, of a rite
by him so highly esteemed, and for which special provision was
necessary;—and the improbability of such a form gaining prevalence
among “the Pharisees and all the Jews,” involving, of necessity, both
expense and labor, to an intolerable extent. If, on the contrary, as
we may reasonably suppose, the house of the Pharisee was provided
with appliances, “after the manner of the purifying of the Jews,” they
would consist of water pots set at the door, as at the marriage feast,
out of which the guests, as they entered, could take water for
pouring on their hands, or baptizing their persons by sprinkling,
without inconvenience or delay.
We have formerly seen that the self-washings of the Mosaic law,—
in which alone its advocates have ever pretended that immersion
may be found in the Old Testament,—were of continual recurrence in
every family. We find in the time of Christ the rites supplemented by
those now in question, which were of even more frequent occasion.
If they were performed by self-washing, by affusion, or by
sprinkling, such provision of vessels as thus indicated was all-
sufficient. But if they were immersions of the person, the almost
daily necessities of every family would have required not only an
extraordinary supply of water, but a capacious bath tub in every
house. Without such a vessel and supply, at home, immersion of the
person, with the frequency required, was not merely improbable; it
was impossible. But such arrangements would have involved an
amount of expense and of labor which no people could endure.
If we open the Scriptures to inquire what is their testimony on this
point, on which, if the system of immersion was in operation, some
hints could not fail to appear, we find that the one only statement or
allusion is contained in the account of the six water pots at the
marriage feast. They were set “after the manner of the purifying of
the Jews.” This expression, alike in itself, and in the attendant
circumstances, as already considered, is exclusive of the supposition
that any purifying rite was observed among the Jews, for which the
water pots were not a sufficient provision. In short, all the evidence
concurs to determine that “the purifying of the Jews,” however
performed, was not by immersion of the person.
