of the disciples, as they were asking him, "Where do you want us to prepare the Passover for you?", he said, "As you are going, a man will meet you carrying a jar of water, follow him. He will show you a large upper room, furnished, swept, ready; there prepare the Passover." No one, therefore, who keeps the Passover as Jesus wills, is below the upper room. But if anyone celebrates with Jesus, he is above in a large upper room, in a swept upper room, in an adorned and ready upper room. And if you go up with him, that you may celebrate the Passover, he gives you the cup of the new covenant, he gives you also the bread of blessing, he bestows his own body and his own blood. Therefore we exhort you: "Go up to the height, lift up your eyes to the height." And to me, if I teach the divine word, the word says: "Go up on a high mountain, you who bring good tidings to Zion; lift up your voice with strength, you who bring good tidings to Jerusalem; lift it up, do not be afraid." These things because of Pashhur, because when the "upper room in the house of the Lord in the gate of Benjamin" was nearby, he did not bring the prophet up into the upper room, but "cast him into the cistern" below. 19.14 "And it happened on the next day that Pashhur brought Jeremiah out of the cistern." O Lord Jesus, come again, make these things clear to me and to those who have come for spiritual food. How "on the next day" does he bring "Jeremiah out of the cistern"? For as long as the present day lasts (and today is this whole age), the sinner casts the prophet down into the cistern; but if the present day should cease and the next day should come, then, having repented, he brings him out from the cistern. Then Jeremiah says to him what Pashhur will suffer. What does he say to him? "He has not called your name Pashhur but Sojourner. For thus says the Lord." This Pashhur is about to be carried into exile to Babylon, according to the desert of his sins, not alone, but also with his friends. For he is delivered to Nebuchadnezzar and goes away into Confusion and is punished for his sins, since he "cast the prophet into the cistern." Who then are the friends of Pashhur, who is surnamed Blackness of Mouth? All who have accepted his words, who have been blackened along with his blackened mouth, who have accepted doctrines of blackness. "and they will fall by the sword of their enemies." Those appointed over the punishments, these are the ones who have the swords and make them fall; concerning whom the word prophesies and says: "and your eyes will see." These things, he says, which are prophesied, "your eyes will see." "And you and all Judah I will give into the hands of the king of Babylon." Whoever of Judah is found to be so sinful as to be worthy of the king of Babylon, of Confusion, will be handed over to him. And the king of Babylon receives the sinners. And the king of Babylon is Nebuchadnezzar according to history, but according to the spiritual interpretation, the evil one. And to this one the sinner is handed over, since he is both an enemy and an avenger. And that the sinner is handed over to him, let Paul teach you, where he says concerning Phygellus and Hermogenes: "whom I have handed over to Satan, that they may be taught not to blaspheme," and where concerning the one who has committed fornication: "when you are assembled, and my spirit is present, with the power of the Lord Jesus, I have decided to hand over such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus Christ." Therefore this Pashhur, the Blackness of the Mouth, is handed over into the hands of the king of Babylon, and they carry him away to Babylon. "And they will cut them down with the sword. And I will give all the strength of this city." It is easy to say that these things are prophesied concerning Jerusalem; for all its strength and the things that followed were then handed over to the king of the Babylonians. It is easy to say that these things are prophesied concerning "this city," which in the times of the Savior was handed over to its enemies. and into captivity
