29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.



Ver. 29. But they constrained him] Though they had been sharply rebuked by him, whom they knew to be no other than a mere stranger to them.



For it is toward evening] Cry we, now if ever, ere it be too late,



" Vespera iam venit, nobiscum Christe maneto.



Extingui lucem nec patiare tuam."
